The insulated welder's suit is designed for work in difficult weather conditions. The equipment provides protection from wind, frost and precipitation, and also significantly reduces the risk of various injuries and damage. The use of special clothing when carrying out any type of activity at low temperatures is a prerequisite, enshrined in the relevant acts and norms.
Insulated suits for welding: basic requirements
In addition to protection from the cold, overalls with insulation for welders must also meet a number of criteria:
- Thermal and fire resistance. Suits must be made of materials that are insensitive to sparks, scale, open flames, electric arcs and high temperatures.
- Resistant to moisture and contaminants. All these properties increase the level of safety, eliminate the rapid wear of the equipment, and also reduce the risk of impregnation of the fabric with flammable substances.
- The presence of reinforced point protection. It includes pads in the area of cuffs, elbows, knees and other areas subjected to active thermal or mechanical stress. As a rule, such elements are made of materials of special strength - for example, PAN fiber or Kevlar.
- Functionality. An insulated suit should fit snugly enough to the body and not be deformed, and also have a laconic design without unnecessary volumetric elements. Such requirements ensure high mobility of the specialist, as well as increased comfort and safety during welding.
The key requirements are also the reliability of fittings and high quality tailoring. The company Prouniform presents protective suits from major manufacturers that have passed strict control and meet all relevant requirements for workwear for this type of work.
Materials for an insulated suit
Fabric, insulation, compositions for overlays - all this provides the necessary properties of suits for welding. Today in the production of equipment for activities at low temperatures are used:
- Split. Material based on genuine cattle leather, characterized by high density and fire resistance.
- Tarpaulin. A fabric made of dense and rigid fibers with a fire-retardant and water-repellent coating, reliably retains heat, is functional and affordable.
- Blood. Dense and coarse fabric based on wool. Provides reliable protection against welding influences and SCR.
- Innovative materials. An example of such a fabric is "Arsenal NEW" based on 100% cotton with high fire resistance and the highest possible tensile strength.
The catalog includes insulated welder suits made of the most functional and impact-resistant materials – to ensure a high level of comfort and safety when working in the most difficult conditions .
