FAQs

What makes this coverall 'super lightweight'?

The coverall is constructed using Bizflame Plus, an innovative flame-resistant twill fabric that is lighter than many traditional FR materials, offering enhanced comfort without compromising protection.

Is this coverall suitable for all types of fire hazards?

This coverall provides protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, and is rated for specific levels of flame resistance (e.g., ASTM F1959/F1959M-14e1 ATPV 9.1cal/cm2). It is not designed for all potential fire scenarios and users should consult the specific standards met and assess suitability for their work environment.

How long does the flame resistance last?

The flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, meaning its protective qualities are intended to remain effective throughout its usable lifespan, provided proper care instructions are followed.

Can I wear this in very hot weather?

While designed to be lightweight and breathable for warmer conditions compared to heavier FR garments, it is still a protective suit. For extremely high ambient temperatures, comfort may be reduced, but the FR protection remains critical in hazardous environments.

What does 'anti-static' mean in this context?

The 'anti-static' property (EN 1149-5) means the fabric is designed to dissipate electrical charge, which is crucial in environments where flammable gases or dust may be present, reducing the risk of ignition from static discharge.

How do I wash this garment to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, high heat ironing, and dry cleaning. Industrial laundering is recommended for best results in maintaining FR properties.

What kind of knee pads should I use?

The coverall features two-tier knee pad pockets allowing two positioning options. Use knee pads specifically designed for protective workwear that fit securely within these pockets for optimal comfort and protection.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels too warm.

This is a lightweight FR fabric designed for warm conditions. For cooler environments, consider layering or an alternative garment. Ensure the fit is not too tight, allowing for some air circulation.

Flame resistance seems compromised after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific industrial laundering instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and high-temperature ironing or dry cleaning, as these can degrade FR properties. Consult the care label for precise guidance.

Knee pads do not fit correctly.

Ensure you are using compatible knee pads designed for the two-tier pockets. Adjust the position of the knee pad within the pocket to find the most comfortable and protective setting.

Pockets feel insufficient for tools.

Utilize all 10 pockets, including the radio loops, for optimal storage. Consider a separate tool belt if additional capacity is required, ensuring it does not compromise safety.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment is designed for immediate wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. For kneeling tasks, insert appropriate knee pads into the designated pockets.

Compatibility: This coverall is designed to meet specific safety standards, including EN ISO 11612, EN 1149-5, ASTM F1959/F1959M-14e1, and EN ISO 11611. It is intended for wear by adult males requiring protection against heat and flame.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and protective qualities of the fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature setting.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. The garment is suitable for industrial laundering, which helps preserve its flame-resistant properties.

Always follow the care label instructions diligently to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the flame-resistant treatment.
