Portwest FR55 Jacket: High-Performance Industrial Protection for Welding and Electrical Hazards

The Portwest FR55 jacket is an industrial safety garment designed for high-risk environments, standing out for its robust construction in Bizflame™ Work fabric (99% cotton, 1% carbon fiber, 350g). This garment combines inherent flame resistance with versatility, making it suitable for ATEX environments and Offshore operations.

Technical Features and Safety Certifications

• Protection Against Heat and Flame (EN ISO 11612): Certified with sub-levels A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, and F1, ensuring defense against flame propagation, convective heat, radiant heat, molten metal splashes, and contact heat.
• Welding Safety (EN ISO 11611 Class 2): Offers a superior level of protection, ideal for welding techniques that present a high risk of sparks and metal splashes.
• Arc Flash Protection (IEC 61482-2, ASTM F1959): With ATPV values of 9.8 and 13.6 cal/cm², this jacket protects the user against heat generated by an electric arc.
• Antistatic Properties (EN 1149-5): The garment is designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, minimizing the risk of sparks in atmospheres with flammable gases or dusts.
• Enhanced Visibility (EN 17353 Type B2): Incorporates reflective material to improve the user's visual detection in low light conditions.

Safety and Maintenance Notice

IMPORTANT: The FR55 jacket is a critical piece of personal protection equipment. Due to its use in welding and electrical hazard environments, the fabric condition must be inspected regularly for burns, tears, or oil contamination, as these factors can reduce its protective capacity. Do not modify the garment, as this could invalidate its safety certifications.
