FLAME 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 offered by this trilaminate fabric protects the wearer from fluid and particulate penetration without compromising on mobility or comfort. Portwest have several garments manufactured with SMS in the BizTex range.
Portwest’s BizTex Micro fabric is a polypropylene substrate with anti-static properties to which a polyethylene film 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 benefit of having an anti-static coating that provides protection against electrostatic buildup.
Biztex Plus is also available in an 82g option, offering added strength, abrasion and tear resistance.
For workers at risk from chemical splash who also may come into contact with flame or flash fire, the flame 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 flame resistant standard EN14116.
Providing EN Standard Protection
EN 1149 -5:2008
Electrostatic requirements - surface resistivity (test method and requirements). This tests for the removal of electrostatic to avoid sparks that could cause fire/hazard to the wearer.

EN 14605: 2005
Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals. This standard specifies 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])
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 14605
EN 14605
Spray Tight Suits. (Type 4)
Test involves exposing a whole suit to an intense spray of a water based liquid. This suit protects against saturation of liquid chemicals.
EN ISO 13982: 2004 Type 5
Dry particle suit. This specifies 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
EN 13034
EN 14126: 2003
This specifies the requirements and test methods for limited use protective clothing providing protection against infective agents.
EN 1073-2: 2002
Protective clothing against radioactive contamination. Requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing against particulate radioactive contamination.
EN ISO 14116 : 2008
This standard specifies the performance requirements for the limited flame spread properties of materials, material assemblies 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 specified.
Indicates compliance with current European standards for chemical protective clothing.
ANSI/ISEA 101 2014
American National Standard for Limited-Use and Disposable Coveralls - Size and Labeling Requirements.
EN 13034: 2005 Type 6
Reduce spray suit (Type 6) and partial body protection items (PB6). This specifies the minimum requirements for chemical protective clothing offering 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 fine mist of droplets in the atmosphere.
