Among the type of flame-retardant and antistatic garments that we can use we find them:

• Antistatic and flame-retardant pants: trouser models are designed to be comfortable and, at the same time, able to withstand the physical demands required of work pants. This is done with multiple pockets and an adjustable waist.
• Jacket and parka: we can have single color jackets or jackets that have high visibility elements. We also have parkas that provide greater protection against the cold and offer waterproof protection.
• Antistatic and flame retardant coveralls: they provide the first line of defense against contaminants, which means they are lightweight and easy to put on. Not only that, but they should be put on quickly in case of an emergency.

The garment offers a very high level of protection because it is made of materials that do not ignite and limit flame transmission because they are also flame retardant. The fabrics also restrict the penetration of hazardous chemicals or metal splashes.

In other words, it offers protection against three different types of heat (radiant, convective and conductive) as well as splashes, so that it is antistatic and flame retardant.

EN11612 is the specific standard for flame-retardant clothing. It analyzes and establishes the protection properties of materials against heat and flames.
