FAQs

What specific hazards does this coverall protect against?

This coverall provides protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, flame, arc flash (up to 8.6 CAL/CM² and 13.6 CAL/CM² depending on standard), and static discharge.

Is this coverall suitable for welding?

Yes, it is classified with EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (A1+A2) standards, providing reliable protection during welding operations.

How should I clean this coverall to maintain its properties?

Wash at a maximum of 60°C (130°F) with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron at medium heat. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the flame-resistant qualities.

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

The anti-static properties (EN 1149-5) help to prevent the buildup of static electricity on the wearer's body, reducing the risk of static discharge in potentially hazardous environments.

What is the ATPV rating of this coverall?

The coverall has an ATPV rating of 13.6 CAL/CM² according to the ASTM F1959/F1959M-12 standard, indicating its arc thermal protective value.

What sizes are available?

The coverall is available in a comprehensive range of sizes from XS to 6XL.

Can this coverall be worn over other clothing?

Yes, it is designed as an outer garment, and its sizing accommodates wearing other workwear underneath, particularly given the action back for mobility.

Troubleshooting

Coverall not providing expected protection

Ensure the garment has not been damaged, altered, or improperly laundered. Check care label for correct washing procedures. Flame-resistant properties can degrade if care instructions are not followed, especially with the use of fabric softeners or harsh detergents.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Handle with care during washing and drying. Avoid excessive abrasion. If significantly damaged, the reflective properties may be compromised.

Static cling is still noticeable

While designed to be anti-static, extreme conditions or improper washing (e.g., using fabric softener) can affect performance. Ensure adherence to care instructions.
