• The inherent FR properties won't diminish with washing
• Periodically inspect reflective tape for wear
• Replace knee pads as needed
• Professional cleaning services are recommended for heavily soiled garments

What makes the Portwest PW3 different from other FR coveralls? The PW3 combines multiple protective standards in one garment, including flame resistance, arc flash protection, chemical splash protection, and weather resistance. Its Acti-Reach™ technology sets it apart by providing superior mobility compared to standard two-piece systems.

Is the Portwest PW3 suitable for ATEX environments? Yes, the PW3 is CE certified and suitable for use in ATEX-classified environments where explosive atmospheres may be present, making it ideal for petrochemical plants and refineries.

What is the CAL rating and why does it matter? The PW3 provides a 37 CAL/CM² ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value) rating, which indicates protection against electrical arc flash hazards up to a 32 CAL/CM² incident energy level. Higher CAL ratings mean greater protection in electrical hazard scenarios.

Is this coverall waterproof? The PW3 features Class 4:1 X EN 343 weatherproofing, providing maximum rain protection while maintaining breathability. The PU-coated Modaflame Rain+ fabric resists water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape for comfort.

Can the reflective tape be replaced? The heat-applied segmented reflective tape is permanently bonded to the fabric during manufacturing. Replacement of tape typically requires professional service.

What size should I order? The PW3 is available in XS through XXXL with extendable leg length (31" to 33"). Refer to the manufacturer's size chart for accurate measurements. Proper fit is essential for both comfort and protective performance.

How often should I replace my FR coverall? Well-maintained coveralls can provide years of reliable protection. However, inspect regularly for damage to seams, zippers, reflective tape, and the shell fabric. Replace any garment with damage that compromises protection.

Is this suitable for cold weather use? Absolutely. The PW3 is specifically designed as a winter coverall with full cotton FR lining and polyester filling for thermal insulation. EN 342 thermal insulation certification ensures warmth in cold environments.

What chemicals does it protect against? The PW3 meets EN 13034 Type 6 for limited protection against liquid chemicals, providing basic splash protection. For prolonged chemical exposure scenarios, consult the manufacturer's technical data.
