The Portwest ST80 BizTex SMS FR Coverall Type 5/6 uses non-woven SMS fabric technology that's breathable, generously cut and comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. Its main job is resisting noxious dust and liquid splash while also being anti-static and limited flame spread, and it's available in White.
Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does the ST80 carry?
The ST80 is independently certified (Centro Tessile Cotoniero e Abbigliamento S.p.A, cert CE 0771260486-00-00) to EN ISO 14116 Index 1 for limited flame spread, EN ISO 13982 Type 5 for protection against airborne solid particles, EN 13034 Type 6 for limited liquid splash, EN 1073-2 for protection against radioactive particulate contamination, and EN 1149-5 for antistatic protection.
Is the ST80 the same level of flame protection as the Modaflame or Bizflame FR range?
No. The ST80 carries EN ISO 14116 Index 1, which is a limited flame spread rating for garments that resist ignition and don't continue to burn, not a full heat and flame protection standard like EN ISO 11612. It shouldn't be used as a substitute for certified FR workwear in a heat or flame hazard environment.
What kind of protection does the ST80 offer, dust or liquid?
Both, at a limited level. EN ISO 13982 Type 5 covers protection against airborne solid particles, and EN 13034 Type 6 covers limited splash from light liquid chemicals, so it's suited to dusty or lightly contaminated environments rather than immersion or high-pressure exposure.
Is the ST80 antistatic?
Yes. It's certified to EN 1149-5 for antistatic protection, which helps reduce the risk of static discharge in environments where that's a hazard.
Is the ST80 reusable or single-use?
The ST80 is a lightweight non-woven coverall designed for limited protective use rather than the multi-wash durability of woven FR workwear. Follow site procedure on reuse and disposal, and replace it if it becomes damaged, heavily soiled or contaminated.
Does the ST80 come in different sizes?
Yes, it's available in sizes L through to XXXL in White. Check the size chart before ordering since coverall fit varies by brand and style.
