Portwest FR19 Navy Anti-Static FR Thermal Neck Tube
The Portwest FR19 Navy Anti-Static FR Thermal Neck Tube is a multi-functional garment, both keeping you warm in cold conditions and protecting you from a variety of industrial hazards. The neck tube will protect your neck and face from electrostatic discharge, arc flashes and radiant, convective and contact heat.
What Can the Navy Anti-Static FR Thermal Neck Tube Do for Me?
The neck tube has several helpful features:
- Flame Resistant: The neck tube offers protection against radiant, convective and contact heat, and the flame resistant qualities will not diminish with washing
- Multi-Hazard: The neck tube shields the wearer's neck from arc flash hazards and electrostatic discharge
- Thermal: The high cotton content and cosy lining means the neck tube is sure to keep you warm
- Versatile: It is easy to adjust the neck tube to cover more or less of your face depending on your temperature
The neck tube's flame resistant and anti-static qualities are due to the modacrylic, cotton and carbon fibre weave it is constructed from. The fabric is known as Modaflame and is strong, durable and innovative.
