FIRE RETANDANT COVERALLS

Flame retardant technology – Pyrovatex


 All fabrics from Pyrovatex offer the best flame protection possible. The flame retardancy complies with all certification requirements, and is guaranteed to last for the fabric’s entire lifespan. Whereas many competitors use technology where some of the flame protection is lost after wear, tear and washing, our protection technology penetrates the actual textile fibres and lasts wash after wash…

The chemical substance of Pyrovatex was formulated and introduced by Ciba ( Now Huntsman Germany ) as early as the 60s. And over the past 35 years, it has acquired comprehensive and extensive all-round experience in flame retardancy of protective clothing. Continuous development of the products have added numerous additional qualities to the flame retardant properties in order to ensure even higher user and environmental performance.

Unique qualities

• Sanforised 100% cotton Twill for maximum comfort.

• The flame retardant properties last throughout the fabric’s lifespan regardless of washing frequency.

• Environmentally friendly production

• Can be worn directly against the skin

Certification:

EN 531 Flame and heat protection

EN 470-1 Welding

CLC/TS 50354 Electrical arc

Oeko-tex std. 100 class II Tested for Harmful Substances

Environmental Performance:

Research from several universities in the USA and Germany shows no signs of toxic or environmentally damaging properties in Pyrovatex. The product has also been tested directly on the skin without showing any skin aggravation or allergy reactions. It does not contain any environmentally damaging or toxic substances such as bromine. Waste gas emission during combustion of Pyrovatex products is lower and less environmentally damaging than for untreated cotton textiles! In addition, Pyrovatex has been certified to the ISO 9001 Quality Assurance and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard, and is EMAS approved. Huntsman G
