Description
The Araflame Silver Overall is a flame-resistant overall from Portwest, designed for professionals who work daily in environments with risks of arc flash, heat, or electrostatic discharge. The lightweight Araflame fabric offers inherent protection, meaning that the protective properties cannot be washed out but are anchored in the fiber. This makes the suit suitable for intensive use in sectors such as the petrochemical industry, energy supply, and heavy industry.
For which work environments is the Araflame Silver Overall AF73 suitable?
The AF73 is suitable for work environments where there is a simultaneous risk of arc flash, heat and flame, and electrostatic discharge, such as refineries, power plants, and chemical plants.
The overall complies with EN ISO 11612 for protection against heat and flame, EN 61482-2 for arc flash protection, and EN 1149-5 for antistatic properties. Thanks to the combination of these certifications, the wearer does not need to change workwear when risks vary at the same workplace. The ASTM F1959 standard also confirms the arc flash performance for international applications.
What does the EN ISO 11612 A1+A2 B1 C1 F1 performance level mean on the Araflame Silver Overall AF73?
EN ISO 11612 is the European standard for clothing that protects against heat and flame. The letters and numbers indicate which specific heat risks have been tested and at what performance level.
A1+A2 stands for limited flammability upon contact with both a surface flame and an edge. B1 means protection against convective heat at the lowest certified level, C1 applies to radiant heat. F1 indicates that the overall protects against molten metal in the form of small splashes. Together, these classes offer a broad basic package for workers in hazardous industrial environments.
The overall weighs 150 g/m², which promotes wearing comfort during prolonged use. Washable up to 60°C on a normal cycle.
