Portwest FR31 Modaflame FR High-Vis Anti-Static Fleece
The Portwest FR31 Modaflame FR High-Vis Anti-Static Fleece offers protection from both heat and cold, qualifying as flame resistant as well as keeping you warm in cold weather. The fleece will shield you from industrial hazards such as electrostatic discharge and electrical arcs, whilst also ensuring you are fully visible in low light conditions.
What Can the Modaflame FR High-Vis Anti-Static Fleece Do to Help Me?
The fleece has several helpful features:
- Anti-Static: The fleece has inherent anti-static qualities thanks to the carbon qualities of the fabric and will reliably protect you from electrostatic discharge
- Multi-Hazard: The fleece offers protection against arc flashes, radiant and convective heat, as well as qualifying as highly visible thanks to the bright yellow colour and premium reflective tape
- Thermal: The fleece is extremely warm with an anti-pill finish to maintain the look of the garment for longer
- Functional: Elasticated cuffs and drawcord adjustable hem for a secure fit, front zip opening for easy access, two pockets for storage, contrast panels protects against dirt
The Portwest fleece is made from a flame resistant yarn of modacrylic, cotton and carbon fibre. The fabric is strong, durable and will prevent static electricity from building up.
Who Can Use the Portwest Flame Resistant Fleece?
The Portwest High-Vis Fleece is ideal for hazardous industrial environments where high-visibility as well as flame resistance and protection from electrostatic discharge is required. The warmth of the fleece makes it particularly suitable for cold work outdoors.
