Portwest FR14 Modaflame Anti-Static Flame Resistant Leggings
The Portwest FR14 Modaflame Anti-Static Flame Resistant Leggings are ideal for cooler conditions as they are snug and can easily be worn beneath an outer layer. The leggings are a multi-hazard garment, offering protection against electrical arcs, electrostatic discharge and radiant, convective and contact heat.
What Can the Modaflame Anti-Static Flame Resistant Leggings Do for Me?
The leggings have several helpful features:
- Flame Resistant: The fabric features inherent protection against radiant, convective and contact heat that will not diminish with washing
- Anti-Static: The leggings are certified as shielding against electrostatic discharge and the thermal effects of an electrical arc
- Breathable: The fabric is breathable and draws moisture away from the body, keeping the wearer cool and dry
- Comfortable: The hem is ribbed and the waistband is elasticated for a comfortable fit
The Portwest leggings are made from the flame resistant and anti-static material, Modaflame. The high cotton content makes the leggings warm and comfy, and the carbon fibre element confers the garment's anti-static properties.
Who Can Use the Portwest Flame Resistant Leggings?
The Portwest leggings are ideal for work environments where electrostatic discharge, electrical arcs or heat and flames are a possible danger. The leggings are cosy and can easily be worn under trousers, making them particularly suitable for a cold environment. Employees of the oil and gas industry will find the leggings invaluable.

What Do These Certifications Mean?
- EN 11612: This standard determines whether a garment offers protection against heat and flames, and whether this protection extends to convective, radiant or contact heat
- EN 1149-5: This standard demonstrates whether a garment protects against electrostatic discharge in environments such as petrochemical refineries where there is a risk of explosion
- IEC 61482: This standard indicates the garment's ability to provide protection against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
- ASTM F1959: This standard determines the arc rating of a garment, which is the amount of energy needed to pass through the fabric to cause a second or third degree burn
The leggings are certified as protective against radiant, convective and contact heat, as well as the thermal hazards of electric arcs. The leggings have anti-static properties and will shield you from electrostatic discharge in the event of an explosion.
