FAQs
What specific hazards do these trousers protect against?
They offer protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, molten metal splashes, and arc flash incidents (ATPV 11.2 CAL/CM2). They also provide UPF 50+ UV protection.
What is the fabric composition?
The trousers are made from 100% Cotton Bizweld fabric with an FR (Flame Retardant) Finish, weighing 330g.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of industrial work?
They are best suited for work environments with specific risks of flame, heat, and molten metal. For general use without these hazards, they may be more protective than necessary.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on medium. Do not dry clean. Adhering to these instructions is crucial for maintaining FR properties.
What sizes are available?
The Portwest Bizweld Trousers are available in sizes ranging from XS to 5XL.
Are these trousers certified?
Yes, they are CE certified and meet standards including EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, and ASTM F1959/F1959M-12.
Can I wear these trousers for outdoor work in the sun?
Yes, they are rated UPF 50+ which blocks 98% of UV rays, making them suitable for outdoor work.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The half-elasticated waist and Flexi-Fit waistband are designed for comfort, but proper sizing is essential.
Reduced flame-retardant properties after washing
Verify that care instructions have been strictly followed. Harsh detergents, bleach, or high washing temperatures can degrade FR finishes.
Seams are fraying
While designed with twin-stitched seams for durability, excessive abrasion or improper washing can still lead to wear. Ensure the garment is not exposed to unnecessary friction.
