Description
The Portwest FR25 flame-resistant jacket (Bizflame Plus Jacket) is a multi-standard work jacket for professionals in industrial environments with fire, heat, and explosion risks. The jacket is made of 99% cotton with 1% carbon fiber (350 g/m²) and offers certified protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, welding spatter, and electric arcs. Thanks to its ATEX suitability and wide range of standards, this jacket can be used in a variety of high-risk sectors.
For which sectors and working conditions is the Portwest FR25 flame-resistant jacket suitable?
The FR25 is suitable for sectors where multiple hazards are present at the same time, such as the petrochemical industry, energy sector, heavy metalworking, and foundries.
The jacket is certified for use in ATEX environments where there is a risk of explosion, and offers class 2 welding protection including protection against molten metal spatter. The anti-static properties in accordance with EN 1149-5 also make the jacket suitable for environments with flammable substances or gases. Thanks to the UPF 40+ fabric, which blocks 98% of UV radiation, the jacket is also suitable for outdoor work.
What does EN ISO 11611 Class 2 mean for the Portwest FR25 flame-resistant jacket and when do you choose this model?
EN ISO 11611 Class 2 is the highest class within this welding standard and indicates that the jacket offers protection during heavier welding processes with a higher risk of spatter and greater radiant intensity.
Choose the FR25 when standard welding protection is insufficient, for example during arc welding or processes that release more spatter. Furthermore, this model combines that welding protection with protection against electric arcs (EN 61482-1-2 APC 1 and EN 61482-1-1) and heat in accordance with EN ISO 11612. This makes the FR25 a versatile choice for those who want to cover multiple risks with one jacket.
