Technical Specifications

Understanding the Bizflame Work+ Fabric

The Bizflame Work+ fabric represents Portwest's commitment to developing flame-resistant materials that don't compromise on comfort. Here's what makes it special:

Cotton-Rich Composition (99%) Cotton remains the gold standard for comfort in workwear. It breathes naturally, absorbs moisture, and feels soft against the skin. The high cotton content means this jacket won't leave you feeling clammy or uncomfortable, even during physically demanding work.

Carbon Fibre Integration (1%) The small but crucial carbon fibre component is evenly distributed throughout the fabric, providing consistent antistatic properties across the entire garment. This prevents the dangerous build-up of static electricity that could ignite flammable atmospheres.

Lightweight Construction (210g/m²) At just 210 grams per square metre, this is one of the lightest flame-resistant fabrics in the Portwest range. This makes it ideal for warmer working conditions or for layering under other protective garments.

Chemical Finish Technology Unlike inherent FR fabrics that rely solely on fibre chemistry, the Bizflame Work+ uses an advanced chemical finish to achieve flame resistance. This treatment is bonded to the fibres during manufacture and maintains its protective properties through multiple wash cycles.

Understanding the Certifications

EN ISO 11612 The comprehensive European standard for protective clothing against heat and flame. This certification covers:

• Limited Flame Spread: Fabric self-extinguishes when ignition source is removed
• Convective Heat Protection: Protection against heat transfer from flames
• Radiant Heat Protection: Protection against radiant heat exposure
• Contact Heat Protection: Protection against brief contact with hot surfaces

EN 1149-5 The anti-static standard ensuring the fabric dissipates static charge effectively. Critical for preventing ignition in potentially explosive atmospheres where static discharge could cause serious incidents.

Ideal For

• Oil and gas industry workers
• Petrochemical plant operatives
• Utilities and power generation professionals
• General industrial environments with flame hazards
• Maintenance technicians in high-risk facilities
• Refinery and processing plant workers
• Manufacturing environments with heat exposure
• Any workplace requiring basic flame-resistant protection
