Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Modaflame RIS Orange Coverall is designed for adult workers requiring advanced protection in hazardous environments. Its key benefit is offering comprehensive safety and versatility through inherent flame resistance and multiple protective features. A potential caveat to consider is that its specific multi-norm compliance may not cover every single hazard type, so users should verify against their specific risk assessment. This coverall provides protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, along with chemical resistance and high visibility.

FAQs

What does 'Inherent Flame Resistant' mean?

Inherent flame resistance means the fabric is constructed with fibers that are naturally flame-resistant. These properties are built into the material itself and will not wash out or wear away over time, unlike treated fabrics.

What types of heat protection does this coverall offer?

This coverall provides protection against radiant heat, convective heat, and contact heat, as specified by the EN ISO 11612 standard.

Is this coverall suitable for arc flash protection?

The coverall has an ATPV rating of 8.1 CAL/CM², meeting IEC 61482-2 standards. This indicates protection against specific levels of arc flash hazards. Users should consult their arc flash risk assessment to ensure this rating is sufficient for their environment.

Can I wear this coverall in warm weather?

While designed for protection, the Modaflame HVO fabric offers breathability. However, like all protective coveralls, it may feel warmer than standard clothing. Proper hydration and appropriate layering are recommended.

How many pockets are included?

The coverall features 8 pockets for ample storage of tools and personal items.

What is the purpose of the external label?

The external label clearly displays all the relevant safety standards the coverall meets, allowing for quick and easy reference and verification of compliance.

What does RIS-3279-TOM compliance mean?

RIS-3279-TOM is a UK standard specifically for railway industry high-visibility clothing, ensuring enhanced visibility for workers in this sector. This compliance is applicable to the orange colour variant only.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels restrictive during movement

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the hook and loop cuffs. Consider the positioning of knee pads for improved flexibility.

Flame-retardant properties seem reduced after washing

Verify that fabric softener was not used and that the washing instructions were followed precisely. Use a dedicated detergent for technical workwear if possible.

Visibility is reduced in poor lighting

Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt or grease, which can obscure reflective properties. The coverall meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards for high visibility.

Chemical stains are difficult to remove

For light stains, follow standard washing instructions. For persistent stains, consult the specific chemical resistance guidelines for Modaflame HVO and the type of chemical encountered. Professional cleaning may be required for heavy contamination.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a high level of protection against multiple hazards including flame, heat, and chemicals.
  • Durable construction with inherent flame resistance that lasts through washes.
  • Designed for comfort and practicality with adjustable knee pads and ample storage.
  • High visibility ratings enhance safety in potentially dangerous work environments.
  • CE-CAT III rating indicates suitability for high-risk applications.

Cons

  • The specific flame resistance (ATPV 8.1 CAL/CM2) may not be sufficient for all extreme arc flash scenarios.
  • Requires specific care instructions to maintain its protective properties.
  • May be heavier or warmer than standard workwear due to its protective properties.
  • The fit may need to be adjusted for different body types despite available sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and protection. Adjust hook and loop cuffs for a secure seal. Position knee pads within the two-tier pockets as preferred.

Compatibility: This coverall is designed to meet multiple safety standards (EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, EN 1149, EN ISO 20471, IEC 61482-2, EN 13034 Type 6, RIS-3279-TOM). Users should verify that these standards cover the specific risks present in their work environment.

Care Instructions:

  • Wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on low heat.
  • Iron on a medium setting (max 150°C / 300°F).
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Wash dark colours separately.
  • Do not use fabric softeners as they can impede flame-retardant properties.
  • Follow the care label instructions carefully to maintain the garment's protective qualities.
