The Portwest FR03 FR Anti-Static Polo Shirt with Reflective Stripes will enhance your visibility in low light conditions, and the modacrylic material will protect you from flames, heat, static and arc flashes. The shirt is lightweight and breathable, making it suitable for warm environments.
What Can the FR Anti-Static Polo Shirt with Reflective Stripes Do for Me?
The polo shirt has several helpful features:
- Multi-hazard: The shirt offers protection against radiant, convective and contact heat, as well as electrostatic discharge and arc flashes
- Enhanced visibility: The shirt features premium sew on flame resistant reflective tape for increased visibility in low light conditions
- Breathable: The fabric is lightweight and breathable with a button front closure for ventilation if required
- Durable: The shirt will retain its shape wear after wear
The shirt is made from Modaflame Knit, a strong and durable fabric that will retain its shape and flame resistance after washing. The carbon fibre content of the material ensures that it prevents electrostatic discharge from building up to dangerous levels.
Who Can Use the Portwest FR Polo Shirt?
The shirt is ideal for jobs which involve hazards such as fire, explosions, arc flashes and the operation of heavy machinery in low light conditions.
