ESAB’s new FR range of clothing, designed for welders, is now available. From the FR Economy black overall, right up to the Phoenix FR / Leather jacket and trousers: each and every item has been designed and made with the needs of the welding operative to the fore – they have been developed by welders for welders.
The FR Economy overall, made from an inherently flame resistant material, comes with two chest pockets with concealed single stud fastening. The garment features a side elasticated back for better comfort and a concealed stud front with brass studs. In addition to the two patch chest pockets there is an internal mobile phone pocket, useful straight hip pockets and a back ruler pocket. Stress areas are reinforced with double bar tacking

Flame Retardant Proban/Leather Jacket and Trousers
The proban Leather jacket and trousers form a suit designed for protection during heavy duty welding. The fabric material makes the garments light weight, breathable and more comfortable to wear and judicious use of leather ensures good protection against spatter and small drops of molten metal in the most exposed areas. The Phoenix FR Leather ensemble comes with:

• Three concealed inner pockets
• Reinforced Kevlar stitching
• Stand up collar
• Front Velcro fastening
• Double bar tacking

The ESAB FR range also includes the FR Welders coverall. The garment conforms to the latest ISO welding standards, ensuring superior protection, performance and comfort. The Phoenix FR material is inherently flame retardant and high performing meaning that the coverall will maintain its FR properties throughout the lifetime of the product. The zip is protected and the design of the coverall ensures ease of movement. The stand up collar with Velcro fastening will cover that “easy to burn” area on the neck. With the Velcro wrist adjustment it’s easy to get the sleeve inside the welding glove.

The ESAB FR Welders Jacket conforms to the latest ISO welding standards, ensuring superior protection, performance and comfort. The Phoenix FR material is again inherently flame retardant and high performing meaning that the jacket will maintain its FR properties during the lifetime of the product.

The range is complemented by the new ESAB FR Black Flame retardant, anti static, welders Jersey and welders Fleece and jumper: both designed entirely with the welders comfort in mind. The technical material is very soft, making it very comfortable to wear. In a warm environment the garments can be worn as the outer layer whilst in a colder environment it should be used as a second layer under a coverall or jacket.

The ESAB FR Clothing range complies with all relevant European and International standards for welding, flame retardants and anti static capability ISO EN 11612 flame retardance, ISO EN 11611 welding. They are available in European sizes to EN340.
