Portwest AF73 Coverall: Advanced Araflame™ Engineering, Arc Protection, and Superior Thermal Resistance

The AF73 is a piece of equipment designed for operators who require a precise balance between lightness and protection against electrical hazards. Utilizing advanced Araflame™ fiber, this coverall offers an effective technical barrier against flame and heat, with a certified rating of ATPV 5.9 cal/cm² for electric arc incidents, making it the technical choice for maintenance work in infrastructures where mobility and lightness determine operational efficiency.

Critical Operational Capabilities

• Araflame™ Fiber Technology: The fiber used allows for lightweight, breathable garment construction while maintaining inherent flame protection that requires no additional treatments, ensuring absolute safety against accidental exposure to ignition sources.
• Electric Arc Shielding: With a value of 5.9 cal/cm², the garment provides the necessary thermal barrier to minimize energy impact in the event of an arc flash, making it a key component for compliance with electrical safety regulations in panels and low/medium voltage systems.
• Moisture Management and Comfort: The fabric has been designed to efficiently manage body heat, preventing thermal stress in operators performing tasks in confined environments or at high temperatures, optimizing physical performance during critical shifts.

Technical Structure Details

• Base Material: Araflame™ (High-tenacity technical flame-retardant blend), lightweight for maximum dexterity and tactical comfort.
• International Certifications: EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, C1), EN ISO 11611 (Class 1, A1+A2), EN 1149-5, ASTM F1959 (ATPV 5.9 cal/cm²).
