Anyone working at multiple hazard sources simultaneously needs clothing that does not merely fulfil one standard but several. Major Protect by PLANAM is made precisely for this case: for employees in the chemical and petrochemical industry, in welding environments or anywhere spark discharge, arc flash and chemical splashes occur in the same work step. The line covers multiple protective classes in a single garment, rather than making compromises. The fabric is interwoven with antistatic fibres and processed in a fine mesh pattern. This prevents electrostatic build-up of the clothing and thus reduces the risk of a spark becoming an ignition source – certified to EN 1149-5. Additionally, fluorocarbon treatment on the surface provides a repellent effect: perspiration and minor chemical splashes bead off rather than soaking into the fabric. The flame-retardant treatment of the material complements this protection against heat and open flames, proven to EN ISO 11611 Class 1-A1 and EN ISO 11612 at levels A1, B1, C1, E3 and F1. For applications with aerosols, spray mists or lower-hazard chemical splashes, the outer fabric is additionally certified to EN 13034 Type 6. For high-visibility variants, classification to EN ISO 20471 is added, also in combination with multiple garments. Major Protect is therefore suitable both for work with restricted visibility and for tasks involving direct contact with chemicals. Important for practice: certified protection is maintained only if the clothing is retreated with suitable impregnation medium after each wash. Which combination of jacket, work trousers or dungarees makes sense for your operation depends on the specific hazards in your workplace. At the inba specialist shop in Bochum we advise you on fit, standard combinations and proper care so that protective performance is maintained throughout the wearing period.
