Fire-resistant
October 1st 2010 A blast suit that meets international
standards for use in wet and dry
abrasive blasting operations
and for heat-protective
clothing is available from
Hodge Clemco.
Developed in
collaboration with Shell and
maintenance contractors in
the petro-chemical sector,
the suit meets EN ISO
11612:2008 (Clothing for
protection against heat and
flame) and EN ISO
14877:2002 (Protective
clothing for blasting with granular
abrasives), allowing it to be used at
on-shore and off-shore petrochemical
installations and in zoned
environments.
Made to military standards, it has
features such as reinforced stitching,
Velcro zip protector flap,
brass zip, thumb loops and
elasticated foot stirrups.
The outer material is
heavy-duty wear-resistant
fabric, supple enough to
afford full mobility. A
breathable inner lining
helps regulate body
temperature. The suit can
be laundered up to 50
times without adversely
affecting fire-resistance. More articles from Hodge Clemco: |
