Portwest FR61 High-Vis FR Anti-Static Hazard Jacket
Portwest's highly innovative Bizflame Multi Fabric, which has been used to construct the Portwest FR61 High-Vis FR Anti-Static Hazard Jacket, will effectively protect you from any risk you are likely to encounter in an industrial environment. The durable, high-vis coat will defend you from chemical splashes, welding hazards, arc flashes, electrostatic discharge and radiant, convective and contact heat.
What Can the High-Vis FR Anti-Static Hazard Jacket Do for Me?
The jacket has several helpful features:
- Multi-Hazard: Multi-norm Bizflame fabric is resistant to chemical splashes, welding hazards, arc flashes, the build-up of static charge and radiant, convective and contact heat
- High-Vis: Reflective tape and fluorescent fabric help to certify the jacket as highly visible
- Durable: The flame resistance is inherent and will last for the life of the garment, the seams are triple stitched for durability and the brass zips are long-lasting and tough
- Functional: Concealed chest pockets, a radio loop and a two-way zip all serve to make the jacket functional and easy to use
The jacket is constructed from Bizflame Multi-Hazard Workwear, which protects from a wide range of workplace dangers. The fabric has a stain resistant fluorocarbon finish which causes liquids to bead up and roll off.
Who Can Use the Portwest High-Vis FR Anti-Static Jacket?
The Portwest jacket is designed for multi-hazard environments where the risk of flames, chemical splashes, molten metal, electric arcs and electrostatic discharge are all present. The jacket is certified as highly-visible, meaning that it is suitable for wear in low light conditions. The jacket is suited to many professions, including the following:
- Oil and gas industries
- Chemical engineer
- Electrician

What Do These Certifications Mean?
- IEC 61482: This standard indicates the garment's ability to provide protection against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
- EN ISO 20471: This standard certifies whether an item of clothing is capable of visually signalling the user's presence, and assesses the durability of the high-vis qualities of the garment
- 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
- 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
- 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 11611: This standard shows whether an item of clothing is suitable for welding or similar tasks and will protect the wearer from heat and metal splashes
- EN 13034: This standard refers to a garment's ability to protect against spatters from dangerous liquid chemicals
The coat offers protection against hazards such as electrical arcs, electrostatic discharge, chemical splashes, molten metal splashes and radiant, convective and contact heat. The jacket also qualifies as highly visible, and the fabric finish is stain-resistant.
