Several variations of Cool Suits® are available, each offering different levels of protection and comfort.
The document explains the concept of anti-static clothing, designed to prevent static electricity build-up that could ignite explosive atmospheres.
Anti-static clothing is designed to reduce the probability of static discharge, which can cause incendiary sparks.
Protective clothing must meet requirements measured in either Part 1 (Surface Resistance) or Part 3 (Charge Decay).
This suit combines flame retardant properties with chemical protection.
Anti-static properties are achieved by reducing fabric resistance, allowing charges to dissipate safely.
To ensure anti-static effectiveness, garments should maintain contact with the wearer’s skin.
Anti-static properties in disposable coveralls are complex, and risk minimization is key.
EN ISO 14116 and EN 11612 are standards for flame retardant garments.
This testing method assesses the effectiveness of heat protective workwear by simulating flash fires.
PyrolonTM Plus 2 and PyrolonTM XT are flame retardant, breathable coveralls designed to be worn over thermal protective garments.
