FAQs

What does 'Guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment' mean?

This indicates that the inherent flame-retardant properties of the fabric are designed to last throughout the expected lifespan of the coverall, provided it is cared for according to the manufacturer's instructions. It means the protection is built into the fabric itself, not a coating that can wear off.

What is the UPF rating of this coverall?

The coverall has a UPF 50+ rating, meaning it blocks over 98% of UV radiation (UVA and UVB), offering excellent sun protection.

Can this coverall be worn in very hot weather?

While designed for protection, the 350g fabric provides substantial coverage. For extremely hot conditions, ensure good ventilation and consider layering appropriately. The material does offer breathability.

What is the difference between EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 11611 standards?

EN ISO 11612 covers protection against heat and flame in general industrial use, including radiant and convective heat. EN ISO 11611 specifically addresses protection for use in welding and allied processes, which involves risks like sparks and molten metal splash.

How do I ensure the anti-static properties remain effective?

Proper washing is key. Use mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners. Ensure the garment is not excessively dirty, as accumulated dirt can sometimes interfere with static dissipation.

Is this coverall suitable for arc flash protection?

Yes, this coverall is certified for arc flash protection under IEC 61482-2 standards, with specific ratings for ELIM (8.6 Cal/CM²) and APC (1), and also meets ASTM F1959/F1959M-12 with an ATPV of 13.6 Cal/CM².

Can I wear regular work pants underneath?

Yes, you can wear base layers or light work pants underneath. However, avoid wearing highly flammable synthetic materials that could melt or ignite in a heat event.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with flame-retardant fabrics. Ensure you are using mild detergents and avoiding fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting can help restore some flexibility.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Inspect the tape regularly. If minor peeling occurs, ensure it is smoothed down while the garment is slightly damp after washing. For significant damage, the tape may need professional repair or replacement to maintain visibility standards.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. If the zipper feels stiff, gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Knee pad pockets feel uncomfortable.

Adjust the position of the knee pads within the two-tier system to find the most comfortable and supportive fit for your tasks. Ensure the correct size knee pads are used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against flames, heat, and electric arcs.
  • High visibility features enhance worker safety.
  • Durable construction with triple-stitched seams.
  • Comfortable and functional design with adjustable cuffs and knee pad pockets.
  • Meets a comprehensive range of essential industry safety standards.

Cons

  • May be too specialized for general work environments.
  • The 350g fabric weight might be warm in extremely hot climates.
  • Requires specific care to maintain flame-retardant properties.
  • Limited color options (primarily grey in this specific variant).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon arrival. Ensure you select the correct size for a proper fit, which is crucial for both comfort and safety.

Compatibility: While designed for the offshore industry, its protective qualities make it suitable for other sectors requiring flame-retardant and anti-static protection, such as petrochemical, utilities, and emergency services. It is compatible with standard knee pads due to its two-tier pocket system.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the flame-retardant properties and overall performance, follow these care guidelines:

  • Wash according to the care label instructions, typically at a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
  • Use mild detergents; avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's protective qualities.
  • Do not use any form of biological self-cleaning agent.
  • Iron at a medium temperature setting.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry.
  • Avoid dry cleaning if the label prohibits it.
  • Industrial washing is recommended for optimal longevity and safety maintenance.
