Description
Benefits
Maximising wearer comfort: thanks to the open structure of its breathable non-woven SMS fabric
- Non-halogenated flame-retardant non-woven fabric, free of substances of very high concern to be compliant with REACH regulations
- Antistatic treatment on both sides*
- *Test conducted on certain FR fabrics and FR garments have demonstrated that antistatic properties reduce overtime. In the interests of safety, that’s why we initially limit the shelf-life for the antistatic property of ProShield® FR to 18 months
Features
Hooded coverall. 3-piece hood and 3-piece gusset for optimal fit. Elasticated face, wrists, waist and ankles. Generous fit offering high freedom of movement when wearing Index 2 or 3 flame-retardant workwear beneath.
Applications
ProShield® 20 SFR garments are used across a range of applications, including those in the petrochemical and railway industries, welding, gas and metal applications (refer to instructions for use).
Fabric Data
Physical Properties
Data relating to mechanical performance of the fabrics used in DuPont chemical protective clothing, listed for the selected garment according to the test methods and relevant European standard, if applicable. Such properties, including abrasion and flex-cracking resistance, tensile strength and puncture resistance can help in the assessment of protective performance.
