Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Modaflame Multi Arc Trouser is designed for male adults working in hazardous environments requiring protection against multiple risks, including arc flash, flame, and hazardous chemicals. Its key benefit is its versatility, transforming from bib trousers to standard trousers via a zip-off function, while offering robust FR protection. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of its protection, which may not be necessary for all work environments.

FAQs

What specific hazards does this trouser protect against?

It protects against arc flash, flame, heat, welding, chemical splashes (Type 6), and provides high visibility. It also has anti-static properties.

Can the bib be removed permanently?

The bib is designed to be zipped off and reattached. It is not intended for permanent removal. The zipper mechanism allows for this conversion.

What is the main fabric composition?

The shell fabric is Modaflame Rain, composed of 98% Polyester and 2% Carbon Fibre with a PU breathable flame-resistant coating, bonded with a flame-resistant knitted backing.

How do I ensure the trousers remain effective after washing?

Always follow the specific care instructions: wash at 40°C, do not bleach, line dry, and iron at a low temperature. Proper care is crucial for maintaining the flame-resistant and waterproof properties.

Are these trousers suitable for all types of chemical protection?

These trousers are rated for EN 13034 Type 6 chemical splash protection, which is suitable for light splashes. They are not designed for full immersion or protection against all types of chemicals.

What does 'Multi Norm' mean in the product name?

'Multi Norm' indicates that the garment complies with multiple safety standards, offering protection against a range of different hazards in a single product.

Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?

While the fabric is breathable, the multi-layer construction and FR lining are designed for protection. For extremely hot conditions, consider ventilation and personal comfort. The waterproof nature may also reduce breathability in high heat.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff after washing.

This can be due to the FR treatment. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying procedures. A low-temperature iron may help restore some flexibility.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Check if the seams are properly taped and if the waterproof coating shows signs of wear. Ensure cleaning instructions are followed to maintain coating integrity. Minor wear on seams might be repairable by re-taping, but significant coating damage may require replacement.

Zip-off function is difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper, which could cause damage.

Reflective tape is peeling.

This often occurs due to improper washing or abrasion. Avoid high heat drying and excessive tumbling in the wash. For minor peeling, gentle heat application might help re-adhere it, but significant damage usually means replacement is necessary to maintain visibility standards.
