Portwest FR74 Flame Resistant Anti-Static Shirt
The Portwest FR74 Flame Resistant Anti-Static Shirt is ideal for environments where the static charge is high and the additional risks of fire or electric arcs are also present. The shirt is highly visible in low light conditions and exceptionally comfortable, so there will be no problem wearing it during a long work day.
What Can the Flame Resistant Anti-Static Shirt Do to Help Me?
The shirt has several helpful features:
- Anti-Static: The shirt is made from inherently anti-static material and will protect you from electrostatic discharge
- Flame Resistant: The shirt will protect against radiant, convective and contact heat as well as the thermal hazards of an electric arc
- High-Vis: The shirt qualifies as highly visible, with reflective, flame resistant tape
- Comfortable: The shirt features a high cotton content for comfort, ribbed cuffs for warmth and front button placket opening for optional ventilation
The Portwest shirt is made from an inherently flame resistant and anti-static modacrylic fabric, Modaflame. The carbon fibre content prevents static discharge from building up and protects you from the potential hazards.
Who Can Use the Portwest Flame Resistant Shirt?
The shirt is ideal for environments where there is a build up of static electricity, such as factories or petrochemical refineries. The shirt also qualifies as highly visible in low light conditions, and will serve to protect you from flames or electric arcs.

- EN 11612:
- A1: Limited flame spread
- B1: Convective heat (scale 1-3)
- C1: Radiant heat (scale 1 - 4)
- F1: Contact heat (scale 1 - 3)
- EN 1149:
- 5: Protects against electrostatic discharge in case of an explosion
- IEC 61482
- EN ISO 20471
- ASTM F1959/F1959M-12 EBT = 4.3 CAL/CM² (HAF = 66%)
- ELIM testing in progress
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
- 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
- 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 polo shirt will protect you from electrostatic discharge in case of an explosion, as well as serving to shield you from radiant, convective and contact heat as well as the thermal effects of electrical arcs.
