Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Flame Resistant Anti-Static Coverall (FR50) in green is designed for professionals in hazardous environments, particularly the offshore industry. It offers superior protection against flame, heat, and molten metal, ensuring wearer safety. A key benefit is its durability with triple-stitched seams and flame-retardant fabric guaranteed for the life of the garment. The main caveat is its specialized nature, best suited for specific high-risk applications rather than general workwear. Key features include high visibility, patented knee pad pockets, and anti-static properties.

FAQs

What does 'Guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment' mean?

It means the fabric's inherent flame-retardant properties will not diminish over time with proper care and normal use, unlike some treated fabrics where the FR property can wash out.

Is this coverall suitable for arc flash protection?

Yes, the coverall is certified to IEC 61482-2 IEC 61482-1-2 Class 1 standards, providing protection against electric arc flashes.

Can I wear this coverall in hot weather?

The coverall is made from a 350g fabric which provides protection but can be warm. While it offers some breathability due to the cotton content, it is primarily designed for protective performance rather than extreme heat comfort. Consider layering appropriately.

How do I ensure the anti-static properties remain effective?

The anti-static properties are inherent to the fabric. Proper washing with mild detergents and avoiding fabric softeners will help maintain these properties. Ensure the garment is in good condition with no significant damage.

What types of heat does this coverall protect against?

It protects against radiant heat, convective heat, and offers certified protection against molten metal splash. It also provides Class 2 welding protection.

Where are the knee pad pockets located?

The knee pad pockets are located on the front of the legs and feature a patented two-tier adjustable system, allowing you to position the knee pads for optimal comfort and protection.

Are the high-visibility strips washable?

Yes, the sew-on flame-resistant industrial wash tape is designed to withstand industrial washing processes, maintaining its visibility over time.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with specialized fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Gentle ironing can help restore suppleness. If stiffness persists and affects comfort or flexibility, consider if the garment requires replacement due to age or wear.

Reflective tape is peeling.

This may indicate improper washing or excessive wear. Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. If the tape is significantly damaged, its high-visibility function is compromised, and the garment may need replacement.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free from debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (e.g., from a pencil lead) can be applied to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fit is too tight/loose.

Check the sizing guide to ensure the correct size was purchased. Adjust the hook and loop cuffs for a better fit. For knee pads, utilize the two-tier adjustable system for optimal placement and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This coverall is designed for immediate use. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and protection. The hook and loop cuffs can be adjusted for a secure fit around gloves or wrists.

Compatibility:

While designed with specific industry standards in mind (e.g., EN standards for flame, heat, welding, and static discharge), this garment is intended as personal protective equipment (PPE). It is compatible with standard safety accessories like hard hats, safety glasses, and appropriate footwear.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and protective properties of the flame-retardant fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the flame-retardant treatment.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Ironing: Iron at a low temperature, preferably on the reverse side.
  4. Dry Cleaning: This garment can be dry-cleaned using perchloroethylene.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the coverall for any signs of damage, such as tears, burns, or worn areas. Ensure all zips and fastenings are in good working order. The flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, but proper care is essential to preserve this property.
