Description
The Portwest FR08 Bizflame Ultra flame-resistant jacket is a multi-standard protective jacket for professionals in heavy industry, offshore and ATEX environments. The two-tone model offers certified protection against thermal hazards, molten metal splashes and chemical splashes. Thanks to the carbon fiber anti-static fabric, the jacket is suitable for use in explosion-hazardous zones.
For which sectors and working conditions is the Portwest FR08 flame-resistant jacket suitable?
The FR08 is suitable for professionals in the petrochemical, offshore, energy and heavy manufacturing industries where multiple thermal and chemical hazards are present simultaneously.
The jacket is certified for protection against radiant heat, convective heat and contact heat, and also offers protection against molten metal splashes and light chemical splashes. The anti-static properties in accordance with EN 1149-5 make the jacket suitable for ATEX zones. Because the jacket meets multiple standards simultaneously, it is a practical choice for environments with combined hazards.
What does the EN ISO 11612 A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, F1 standard class mean for the FR08 flame-resistant jacket?
EN ISO 11612 is the European standard for protective clothing against heat; the letter classifications indicate which specific heat sources the jacket protects against and at what performance level.
A1+A2 stands for protection against limited flame via two test methods. B1 indicates convective heat protection, C1 stands for radiant heat and E2 for molten metal splashes. F1 concerns contact heat. A jacket with only A1 therefore offers less comprehensive coverage than the FR08, which combines all these classes in one garment. This makes the jacket suitable for workplaces where multiple heat sources may be present simultaneously.
The jacket features five storage pockets, radio loops, an adjustable waist and Velcro cuffs for a comfortable, adjustable fit.
