Portwest FR72 Hoodie: Advanced Thermal Insulation and Antistatic Protection

The FR72 hoodie is a safety engineering piece designed to offer a superior thermal barrier in adverse climates. Made from a specialized 350g knitted fabric, this garment not only provides high visibility, but also integrates permanent flame-resistant properties and antistatic capabilities, making it ideal for operators in the hydrocarbon, gas, or electrical maintenance sectors where static energy accumulation represents an ignition risk.

Why is this equipment vital for operations?

• Multi-Hazard Protection: Designed to resist radiant, convective, and contact heat, maintaining user integrity against accidental thermal exposures.
• Static Dissipation Control: Thanks to the incorporation of carbon fibers, the garment dissipates electrostatic charges, complying with safety protocols in ATEX zones (Explosive Atmospheres).
• Comfort in Critical Conditions: Its high cotton content ensures optimal breathability, while its hooded design provides additional coverage against wind and body heat loss.

Regulatory Compliance Analysis

This equipment has been certified under international standards that validate its limited protection against flame spread. The fabric maintains its tensile strength and dimensional stability even after multiple industrial washing cycles, ensuring that the protection level does not degrade with operational use.

• Base Fabric: Bizflame Knit (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fiber).
• High-Density Weight: 350g for superior thermal insulation.
• Safety Tapes: Premium reflective tape with flame-resistant aramid stitching.
• Ergonomics: Elasticated cuffs and hem for a secure fit that prevents cold air or particles from entering.
