Product Information

Full details

FAQs

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III indicates that the garment falls into the highest category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), signifying complex risks and requiring rigorous testing to ensure protection against serious or fatal injuries.

How long does the flame resistance last?

The flame resistance is guaranteed for the entire life of the garment, provided it is cared for according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Can I wear this coverall in very hot weather?

The 350g Bizflame Plus fabric offers significant protection but may be warm in extremely hot conditions. For very high temperatures, consider if the level of protection offered by this garment is balanced with thermal comfort needs for your specific task.

What specific standards does this coverall meet?

This coverall meets multiple standards including EN 1149-5 (Anti-static), EN ISO 11612 (Protection against heat and flame), EN ISO 11611 (Protection for welding), and IEC 61482-2 (Protection against electric arc).

Are knee pads included with the coverall?

No, knee pads are not included. The coverall features patented knee pad pockets designed to accommodate compatible knee pads, which must be purchased separately.

How should I wash this garment to ensure it remains effective?

Wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F), do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron at a medium setting. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as these can compromise the protective qualities.

What is the significance of the anti-static feature?

The anti-static feature helps to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks in environments where flammable materials or sensitive electronics are present, thereby enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels stiff or loses some flexibility after washing.

This can sometimes occur with technical fabrics. Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and detergent as per the care label. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade performance. Proper drying (avoiding excessive heat) also helps maintain fabric feel.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Inspect the tape for signs of wear. If minor, it may be possible to carefully re-adhere it following specific instructions for flame-resistant tape, but significant damage may compromise its effectiveness and reflectivity. Consider replacement if safety is impacted.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid silicone-based lubricants, which might affect fabric properties.

Fit is uncomfortable or restrictive.

Verify that the correct size has been selected. Check that knee pads, if used, are correctly positioned within the adjustable pockets. Ensure all adjustable cuffs or fastenings are set appropriately for your body.
