Arco GORE-TEX® Hazardwear garments will keep the wearer dry and comfortable in real working situations throughout the lifetime of the garment.

Designed to provide breathable comfort and durable waterproof and windproof protection, The new Arco GORE-TEX® Hazardwear garments are ideal for a wide range of professional end uses. They exceed the limited requirements of EN 343:2003 (Protective Clothing against Rain). EN 343's highest requirement for waterproofness is only to 13kPa of pressure which is not sufficient for real working situations. GORE-TEX® Hazardwear is tested to 100kPa to ensure no water penetration, even with pressure on the shoulders from straps or when kneeling down.

Breathability is the key to comfort at work, and therefore safety and productivity. Even EN 343, Class 3 only requires Ret of 20, independent institutes show that Ret values of 6-10 are needed for work comfort. GORE-TEX ® Laminate rates as the most breathable, durable laminates available in class.

GORE® PYRAD® Fabric Technology is unique to Gore and its accredited suppliers. The fabric provides protection from burns through self extinguishing, thermal stability and thermal insulation of the laminate.

While many flame retardant garments meet the lower level international standard EN ISO14116 Protective clothing against limited flame spread materials, all of the Arco PYRAD® Hazardwear garments meet the higher international EN standard EN ISO11612 Protective Clothing against Heat and Flame. The aim of both standards is to reduce the possibility of clothing burning and causing a hazard to the wearer, but the lower international standard EN ISO14116, is more suited to 'circumstances where there is no significant heat hazard and without presence of another type of heat'.

The hazardwear garments also include durable anti-static properties which are anchored in the membrane which means there is no electrical discharge which prevents ignition of flammable atmospheres. The anti static properties of the garment are embedded into the fabric and will last the life time of the garment even after washing.

All Arco GORE® PYRAD® Technology hazardwear possesses the same properties as the GORE-TEX® Hi Vis Garments, they are fully waterproof, windproof and breathable so will keep the wearer comfortable throughout their working day.

All Gore® PYRAD® Hazardwear garments meet the following EN Standards

EN 11612: 2008 Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame

EN 11611: 2008 Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes

EN 1149-5: 2008 Protective Clothing - Electrostatic Properties - Part 5: Material Performance and Design Requirements

EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (type 6 PB) Performance Requirements for Chemical Protective Clothing offering Protective Performance against Liquid Chemicals
