Portwest FR61 Jacket: Multi-Risk and High-Visibility Industrial Protection

The FR61 safety jacket is a multi-risk protective garment made with Bizflame™ Multi fabric. It offers comprehensive certified protection against multiple hazards, including heat exposure, fire, molten metal splashes, chemicals, as well as arc flash and welding risks. It is suitable for use in ATEX environments and has a UPF 40+ rating, blocking 98% of UV rays.

Design Features and Durability

• Visibility: Includes double-stitched high-visibility tape on chest, shoulders, and arms.
• Functionality: Features a hidden two-way brass zipper front closure, adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs, and 2 front pockets with flaps.
• Resistance: Triple-stitched seams ensure greater durability.

Certifications and Safety Benefits

• Heat and Flame Protection (EN ISO 11612: A1+A2, B1, C1, E3, F1): Certifies protection against contact, convective, radiant heat, and molten metal splashes, providing comprehensive fire protection.
• Welding Protection (EN ISO 11611 Class 1 A1+A2): Suitable for welding work, shielding the user against molten metal splashes and related risks.
• Antistatic Properties (EN 1149-5): Prevents the accumulation of electrostatic charge, crucial for environments with explosion risk, such as refineries or chemical plants (ATEX environments).
• Arc Flash Hazards (IEC 61482-2): Tested to resist and protect against the thermal consequences of an electric arc flash.
• Chemical Protection (EN 13034 Type 6): Offers a limited barrier against small splashes of liquid chemicals.
• High Visibility (EN ISO 20471 Class 3): Ensures the user is easily visible day and night, reducing the risk of accidents in low light or heavy traffic environments.
• Sun Protection (UPF 40+): Guarantees that the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays, protecting the user from solar radiation.

Application in Electrical Risk

The FR61 is designed for professionals working in industrial plants with electrical equipment. Thanks to its certified arc flash protection and antistatic properties, it acts as a personal shield against critical electrical hazards, while maintaining the necessary high visibility to prevent accidents.
