Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Modaflame Rain Multi Norm Arc Trouser is designed for adult males working in environments requiring protection against multiple hazards, including flame, arc flash, and water. Its key benefit is its versatility, transforming from a bib overall to standard trousers. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of its protective features, which may not be necessary for all work environments. Key features include flame-resistant waterproof fabric, arc flash protection, anti-static properties, and a zip-off bib for adaptability.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these trousers?

These trousers provide protection against flame, arc flash, chemicals, water, and enhance visibility, making them suitable for high-risk work environments.

Can the bib part be removed permanently?

Yes, the bib can be zipped off at the back, allowing the trousers to be worn as a standard pair of protective trousers when full bib coverage is not required.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

While the fabric is breathable, the multi-layer construction and FR lining are designed for protection, which can make them warmer than standard trousers. They are better suited for moderate to cool conditions, or when protection is paramount.

What does 'Multi Norm' refer to?

'Multi Norm' indicates that the garment meets multiple safety standards for different types of hazards, such as flame, arc flash, chemical, and high visibility.

How do I know if these trousers meet my specific job requirements?

Review the list of standards met by the trousers (EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, IEC 61482-2, EN 13034, EN ISO 20471, EN 343) and compare them against the safety requirements for your specific industry and role. Consult your safety officer if unsure.

What material are the trousers made of?

The shell fabric is Modaflame Rain: 98% Polyester, 2% Carbon Fibre with a PU breathable flame-resistant coating, bonded with a 60% Modacrylic, 40% Cotton flame-resistant knitted backing. The lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant.

How should I clean these trousers to maintain their protective qualities?

Wash at 40°C with a mild process, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron at a medium temperature. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners. Follow care label instructions precisely.

Troubleshooting

Water penetration despite waterproof fabric

Check that all seams are properly taped and that there are no tears or holes in the fabric. Ensure zippers and closures are fully secured. Re-evaluate care instructions, as improper washing can affect waterproof treatments.

Reduced flame or arc resistance after washing

Strictly follow the recommended care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and high heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the flame-resistant treatments. If issues persist, consider replacing the garment.

Zipper or buckle malfunction

Inspect for dirt or debris obstructing the zipper. If the buckle is damaged, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement parts or repair services.

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

This can occur with excessive wear or improper washing. Gentle washing and air-drying are recommended. If significantly damaged, the tape's reflective and FR properties may be compromised.
