Portwest FR10 Modaflame Navy Anti-Static FR Polo Shirt
The Portwest FR10 Modaflame Navy Anti-Static FR Polo Shirt is a stylish, cosy and durable garment, ideal for working in chilly environments where there is a risk of electrostatic discharge or fire. Despite the shirt's understated appearance, it offers thorough protection from radiant, convective and contact heat as well as electrostatic discharge and the thermal hazards of arc flashes.
What Can the Modaflame Navy Anti-Static FR Polo Shirt Do for Me?
The polo shirt has several helpful features:
- Flame-resistant: The polo shirt offers inherent protection from radiant convective and contact heat which will not diminish with washing
- Multi-hazard: The shirt will also shield you from electrostatic discharge and the thermal hazards of electric arcs
- Breathable: The fabric draws moisture away from the body and keeps the wearer cool and dry, the three-button placket opening allows for ventilation when required
- Secure: The flame resistant ribbed collar and cuffs provide a safe and secure fit, and the fabric resists shrinkage of colour fading
The shirt is inherently flame resistant and anti-static due to the modacrylic and carbon elements of the innovative fabric, Modaflame knit. This material is both strong and durable.
Is the Portwest Anti-Static FR Polo Shirt Available in Any Other Colours?
Yes, the polo shirt is also available in Black and Grey.
Who Can Use the Portwest FR Polo Shirt?
The polo shirt is warm enough to be comfortable in cool weather thanks to its warm ribbed cuffs and the cotton content of the fabric, however the 3-button placket opening provides ventilation if required. Therefore, the shirt is ideal for those working in environments where flame and heat hazards are present, but the general temperature is chilly. The polo shirt is perfect for factory or warehouse work.

What Do These Certifications Mean?
- EN 11612: This standard determines whether a garment offers protection against heat and flames, and whether this protection extends to convective, radiant or contact heat
- EN 1149-5: This standard demonstrates whether a garment protects against electrostatic discharge in environments such as petrochemical refineries where there is a risk of explosion
- IEC 61482: This standard indicates the garment's ability to provide protection against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
- ASTM F1959: This standard determines the arc rating of a garment, which is the amount of energy needed to pass through the fabric to cause a second or third degree burn
The shirt offers ample protection from radiant, convective and contact heat, and this protection will not diminish with washing. The garment will also shield you from injury in the case of an arc flash, or electrostatic discharge in the case of an explosion.
