Portwest MV28 Modaflame Type 6 Arc Flash Coveralls
The Portwest MV28 Modaflame Type 6 Arc Flash Coveralls offer optimum protection from arc flashes as well as various other hazards, making them ideal for industrial environments. The jumpsuit is highly visible in low light conditions, with bio motion tape pattern to improve recognition of a human form even at a distance.
What Can the Modaflame Arc Flash Coveralls Do to Help Me?
The coveralls have several helpful features:
- Arc Flash Protection: The enhanced design of the coveralls fulfils the rigorous requirements of Arc Flash protection certifications
- High-Vis: The boiler suit qualifies as highly visible in low light conditions, and features bio motion tape pattern to improve recognition of human shape at a distance
- Multi-Hazard: The coveralls also offer protection against welding hazards, chemical splashes, electrostatic discharge and radiant, convective and contact heat
- Functional: The coveralls feature a radio loop for easy clipping of a radio, a two-way front durable brass zip for easy access, and two tier knee pad pockets for your comfort and the garment's durability
The protective overalls are made from the modacrylic Modaflame, meaning that the flame resistant and anti-static properties are inherent and will not diminish with washing.
Who Can Use the Portwest Modaflame Arc Flash Coveralls?
The Portwest jumpsuit is ideal for the oil and gas industries, as well as any other profession which requires top-quality protection from arc flashes. The bio-motion tape and high-vis certifications make the jumpsuit suitable for work in hazardous low-light conditions, and the chemical resistance means they can be safely worn to protect from reduced liquid spray.

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 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 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
- EN 13034: This standard refers to a garment's ability to protect against spatters from dangerous liquid chemicals
- 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
- AS/NZS 1906.4:2010: This standard specifies the requirements for high-visibility materials for use in industrial safety garments
The coveralls offer protection from electrical arcs and reduced liquid chemical spray. They are also certified as shielding against electrostatic discharge, welding related hazards and convective, radiant and contact heat. The coveralls qualify as highly visible, and will ensure you are clearly seen in dangerous industrial environments.
