Dickies Workwear Proban Coverall

Product Information

For these reasons, Proban® treated textiles are ideal for applications where personnel are at risk of being exposed to fire for short periods of time, and when the garment is expected to have a long service life. Applications like firefighting, or having Proban® overalls when working in the oil, gas, chemical, electric and petrochemical industries are ideally suited for use of Proban® treated fabrics.

Elevate your workwear protection with TecWear Flame Retardant Proban® Boilersuits, tailored to the demands of various welding and allied processes, crafted from 100% flame retardant cotton Proban® fabric for optimal safety. Do you only need FR protection? ie Do you also need anti static protection (EN1149) and/or IEC 61428 Electric arc protection? The use of ammonia as a curing agent actively converts the monomers within the fabric into polymers. So what is Proban®? Proban® is a flame retardant chemical treatment that was developed in the 1950s; woven and knitted cotton or cotton blend fabrics are bulk treated at the finishing stage. It has a wide and almost all-encompassing range of applications, for industrial, sport, military uniforms and workwear, right through to civilian industries which include anything from hotels to hospitals and nursing homes. Essentially, anywhere there is a risk of fire or fire hazard, Proban® treated fabrics are useful to have in your corner.These garments adhere to industry standards, conforming to BS EN ISO 11612:2015 A1, A2, B1, C1 & F1, as well as BS EN ISO 11611:2015 Class 1 A1 & A2, ensuring your safety during various work applications The most progressive buyers are now buying FR overalls with Anti static and even electric Arc protection - such as the Roots FlameBuster R013090 - as these will save lives and equipment where an electric change may otherwise build up and arc. Constructed with 340gsm Cotton Proban® fabric, these boilersuits deliver durability and flame retardant capabilities for optimal protection

Layer Up: You wear FR garments to reduce your risk of skin burn. By layering - wearing layers of, ideally, Fr undergarments, such as FR polo shirt, or FR long johns, you further extend your life (!), and reduce your risk of skin burns.Does the FR overall need to be inherent (permanently Flame retardant) - such as Modacrylic or Nomex or Protex or aramid? or will a "normal" cotton coverall, treated with Fr pyrovatex suffice? (This latter is the most popular, as the cotton is usually better value and arguably more comfortable to wear against the skin than manmade inherent fabrics;the pyrovatex coating on the cotton lasts about 50 washes. Over a year the Pyrotvatex may even outlast the garment itself. The other characteristic of Nomex is its inherent electric resistance: this coverall achieves Arc Thermal Performance Value of 23, which is remarkable considering the average Nomex coveralls have an ATPV of just 5. Most coveralls such as the are 350gsm in fabric weight - which is good for the normal outdoor cold working climates. We also supply lightweight FR overalls - weighing only 250gm usually, such as the Bulwark 250gm Deluxe which is FR and also antistatic. We even do super lightweight coveralls, made of inherently (permanent) FR materials such as Aramids, Meta aramids and Nomex - which is as light as wearing a shirt - only 125gms. The Wenaas Nomex royal blue coverall only weighs 150gms. The final result? A fabric that has all the synergistic properties and benefits of the natural fibres, combined with the unique flame retardant properties and durable protection of the ingrained, flame-resistant polymers. We supply WINTER overalls such as the Wenaas Ambassador Insulated overalls range: Winter or thermal insulated overalls are simply FR quilted coveralls. They are used extensively across the North Sea.
