FAQs
What does 'flame retardant' mean for this coverall?
It means the fabric is designed to self-extinguish and not continue to burn once the source of ignition is removed, providing protection against heat and flame exposure.
Are these coveralls suitable for all types of industrial work?
They are specifically designed for work involving heat, flames, and welding processes, and have anti-static properties. They are not intended as general workwear or for protection against chemicals or extreme cold/wet conditions unless specified.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Dickies, which typically includes measurements for chest, waist, and inside leg. Ensure a proper fit for both comfort and maximum protection.
Can I wear regular clothing underneath?
Yes, you can wear standard workwear clothing underneath. However, avoid synthetic materials that can melt or increase static build-up. Natural fibers like cotton are generally recommended.
What is the EN ISO 11612 standard?
This is an international standard for protective clothing used in environments with heat and flame. The specific codes (e.g., A1 A2 B1 C1 E3 F1) indicate the levels of protection against different types of heat and flame hazards.
How often should I inspect the coverall for wear and tear?
It is recommended to inspect the coverall before each use for any signs of damage, such as rips, tears, worn areas, or compromised stitching, especially around critical safety areas.
What is the difference between EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 11611?
EN ISO 11612 covers general protection against heat and flame hazards, while EN ISO 11611 specifically addresses protection for welding and allied processes, covering risks like sparks and molten metal splash.
Troubleshooting
Coverall feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with protective fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid excessive heat during drying. Gentle ironing may help restore some flexibility.
Fastenings (studs) are difficult to close/open
Ensure the studs are properly aligned before fastening. If they remain stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the stud base (avoiding the fabric), or consult the manufacturer's recommendations.
Reduced flame retardancy or anti-static performance suspected
This typically occurs if care instructions have not been followed, especially the use of incorrect detergents or bleach. Inspect the garment for damage. For critical applications, the garment may need to be replaced if its protective certification is compromised.
