Product Description

The Portwest FR5 Jacket is an essential piece of clothing, designed to provide exceptional protection in the most demanding work environments. Its reinforced construction and certifications ensure reliable protection for welders and industrial safety professionals.

Made with Bizflame Work fabric (99% cotton, 1% 350g carbon fiber), this jacket is not only inherently flame-resistant but also suitable for use in ATEX environments, where spark prevention is critical. Its design integrates functionality and durability for superior performance.

Key Benefits (Standards-Based)

• Comprehensive Heat and Flame Protection (EN ISO 11612): This certification ensures the jacket is resistant to a variety of thermal hazards. Sub-levels A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, and F1 guarantee proven protection against flame propagation, convective heat, radiant heat, molten metal splashes, and contact heat.

• High-Class Welding Safety (EN ISO 11611 Class 2): With Class 2 certification, this jacket offers a superior level of protection for higher-risk welding techniques. It provides reliable protection against increased metal splashes and sparks.

• Arc Flash Protection (IEC 61482-2, ASTM F1959): Certifications and ATPV values ​​of 9.8 and 13.6 cal/cm² confirm that the jacket protects against the heat of an electric arc. This is a critical benefit for any worker exposed to electrical hazards, as the ATPV value indicates the level of thermal energy the fabric can withstand.

• Anti-Static Properties (EN 1149-5): This certification ensures that the garment is capable of dissipating electrostatic charges. This is a key benefit for preventing sparks in environments where flammable gases or dust are present.

• Enhanced Visibility (EN 17353 Type B2): This standard ensures that the jacket's reflective material improves the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions, contributing to workplace safety.

• Suitable for OffShore environments
