Portwest’s BizTexMicro fabric is a polypropylene substrate with anti-static properties to which a polyethylene lm is applied (PP/PE). The outer layer prevents the passage of liquid molecules inwards yet allows the vapour molecules that build up on the inside of the fabric to permeate. This technology keeps the wearer fresh and comfortable. BizTex Micro has the added bene t of having an anti-static coating that provides protection against electrostatic buildup. Biztex Plus is also available in an 82g option, o ering added strength, abrasion and tear resistance.

Portwest’s SMS is an integrated three layer polypropylene construction with anti-static properties. Formed by layering spunbond, meltblown and spunbond the fabric is strong and durable as well as being soft and breathable. The high tensile strength o ered by this trilaminate fabric protects the wearer from uid and particulate penetration without compromising on mobility or comfort. Portwest have several garments manufactured with SMS in the BizTex range.

For workers at risk from chemical splash who also may come into contact with ame or ash re, the ame retardant BizTex SMS fabric is an obvious choice. The SMS fabric is an integrated three layer polypropylene construction. Formed by layering spunbond, meltblown and spunbond the fabric is strong and durable as well as being soft and breathable. This fabric is then treated with an FR coating which conforms to the ame resistant standard EN14116.

EN 1149 -5: 2018 Electrostatic requirements - surface resistivity (test method and requirements). This tests for the removal of electrostatic to avoid sparks that could cause re/hazard to the wearer.

Providing EN Standard Protection

EN 1149

EN 14605: 2005 +A1:2009 Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals. This standard speci es performance requirements for clothing with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including items providing protection to parts of the body only. (Types PB [3] and PB [4])

EN 14126: 2003 This speci es the requirements and test methods for limited use protective clothing providing protection against infective agents.

EN 14126

Liquid Tight Suits. (Type 3) This test involves exposing a whole suit to a series of short jets of a water based liquid, aimed at various critical parts of the suit. This suit protects against strong jets of liquid chemical.

EN 1073-2: 2002 Protective clothing against radioactive contamination. Requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing against particulate radioactive contamination.

EN 14605

NUCLEAR PARTICLE

Spray Tight Suits. (Type 4) Test involves exposing awhole suit to an intense spray of awater based liquid. This suit protects against saturation of liquid chemicals.

EN ISO 14116: 2015 This standard speci es the performance requirements for the limited amespreadpropertiesofmaterials,materialassemblies and protective clothing in order to reduce the possibility of the clothing burning and thereby itself constituting a hazard. Additional requirements for clothing are also speci ed.

EN ISO 14116

EN ISO 13982 - 1 :2004 + A1 :2009 Type 5

Dry particle suit. This speci es the minimum requirements for chemical protective clothing resistant to penetration by air borne solid particles. Protects against hazardous dust and dry particles.

EN 13982-1

Indicates compliance with current European standards for chemical protective clothing.

EN 13034: 2005 +A1: 2009 Reduce spray suit (Type 6) and partial body protection items (PB6). This speci es the minimum requirements for chemical protective clothing o ering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals. This standard tests for liquid chemical(Type 6 and Type PB [6] equipment)sprays and splashes that are not directional or built up on a suit but there may be a ne mist of droplets in the atmosphere.
