Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Modaflame Arc Trousers in Yellow are designed for male adults working in environments requiring multi-norm protection. Their key benefit is comprehensive safety against flame, heat, and arc flash hazards, combined with waterproof and breathable functionality. A potential consideration is their specific design for protective wear, which may differ from standard work trousers in terms of fit and feel. Key features include CE-CAT III certification, flame-resistant treated waterproof fabric, protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, anti-static properties, and premium FR reflective tape.

FAQs

What types of hazards do these trousers protect against?

These trousers offer protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, flame, arc flash (Class 2), chemical splashes (Type 6), and also provide high visibility and are waterproof.

Can the bib be removed for everyday use?

Yes, the trousers feature a zip-off function at the back, allowing the bib to be completely removed, transforming them into versatile trousers suitable for conditions where the bib is not required.

How should I wash these trousers to maintain their protective qualities?

Wash inside out at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron directly on reflective tape.

Are these trousers suitable for women?

The product description specifies a 'Male' gender attribute, indicating they are designed with a male fit. For female workers, it is recommended to consult size charts carefully or look for specifically designed women's protective wear.

What is the highest standard these trousers meet for arc flash protection?

They meet IEC 61482-2 standards, specifically IEC 61482-1-2 Class 2 and IEC 61482-1-1 ELIM 32 CAL/CM².

What does 'CE-CAT III' certification mean?

CE-CAT III indicates that the garment falls into the highest category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), signifying complex risks and a need for rigorous testing and certification.

What is the weight of the shell fabric?

The shell fabric, Modaflame Rain, weighs 350g. It is made of 98% Polyester and 2% Carbon Fibre with a PU breathable flame-resistant coating.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric has not been compromised by damage or improper washing. Check care label for correct washing procedures.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying and ironing directly on the tape. If damage has occurred, the garment's visibility rating may be compromised.

Zipper or button closure is stiff.

Ensure the zipper and button area are clean and free of debris. Gently try to operate the closure. Use a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, applied sparingly.

Garment feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with technical fabrics. Ensure the garment was rinsed thoroughly. Air drying and gentle ironing (inside out) can help restore flexibility. Refer to care instructions.
