FAQs

What is the primary function of the zip-off bib?

The zip-off bib allows you to convert the garment from protective bib trousers into standard trousers, offering greater versatility for different tasks and environments throughout the workday.

Are these trousers suitable for protection against electric arc flashes?

Yes, the trousers are CE-CAT III certified and specifically tested for electric arc flash protection according to IEC 61482-2 standards, offering protection up to Class 2 APC and ELIM 32 CAL/CM2.

How do I ensure the waterproof properties remain effective?

To maintain waterproofing, follow the care instructions carefully. Wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing directly on the fabric coating.

What does 'Multi Norm' mean in the product name?

'Multi Norm' indicates that the garment meets multiple safety standards, providing protection against various hazards such as flame, arc flash, chemicals, and ensuring high visibility and waterproofing.

Can these trousers be worn in warm weather?

While designed for protection, the fabric is breathable. However, due to the multi-layer construction for flame and water resistance, they may be warmer than standard lightweight trousers. Consider the specific working conditions.

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

EN ISO 11612 applies to protective clothing for workers exposed to heat and flame in general, while EN ISO 11611 specifically covers protective clothing for use when welding and in similar tasks involving potential exposure to sparks and flame.

How should I clean off dirt from the contrast panels?

For dirt on contrast panels, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the fabric. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed and dried according to care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to instructions and that the PU coating is not damaged. High-pressure washing or harsh detergents can affect waterproofing. Check that seams are intact.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Reflective tape can degrade with excessive washing or abrasion. Avoid high-heat drying and ironing directly on the tape. If significantly damaged, the garment's visibility is compromised and it should be replaced.

Zipper for bib removal is stiff or stuck.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Garment feels less flame-resistant after washing.

Follow the specific washing and drying instructions meticulously. Using incorrect detergents or high heat can impact the flame-resistant properties. Avoid fabric softeners.

Compatibility:

  • The trousers are designed to be worn over base layers. Consider materials that are also flame-resistant for maximum protection.
  • They meet multiple standards, making them compatible with a wide range of safety protocols in hazardous work environments.

Care Instructions: Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and protective qualities of the Modaflame fabric.

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures which can degrade the fabric's protective coating.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting (maximum 110°C / 230°F). Do not use steam.
  4. Maintenance: Inspect regularly for any signs of damage, such as tears, holes, or degradation of the reflective tape or fabric coating. Damaged garments should be removed from service immediately.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
