Protective neckwear designed to block radiant, convective and contact heat while reducing static risk. Portwest Flame Resistant Anti-Static Neck Tube uses a high-cotton Modaflame knit for comfortable, reassuring coverage during hot-work tasks. Is certified flame and anti-static protection the right choice for your workplace needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Wearing Comfort: High cotton content in a soft Modaflame knit reduces irritation and maintains breathability
- • Best for: Personnel in welding, foundry or maintenance roles requiring neck protection from heat and static
- • Not ideal for: Tasks requiring heavy insulated protection against extreme cold or sub-zero conditions
Two-layer Modaflame knit construction combines modacrylic, cotton and carbon fibre for thermal and electrostatic protection. Certified to EN ISO 11612, EN 1149-5 and ASTM F1959 with an ATPV of 22 cal/cm².
Reliable heat protection – Thanks to two-layer Modaflame knit
Two-layer Modaflame knit blends 60% modacrylic with 39% cotton and 1% carbon fibre, producing a fabric that resists ignition and limits heat transfer. The construction was tested to ASTM F1959/F1959M yielding an ATPV of 22 cal/cm².
Reduced risk of burns during short-duration thermal exposures, practical for workers who face occasional flashes or radiant heat. Fabric durability supports repeated use without rapid degradation of protective properties.
Anti-static performance – With integrated carbon fibre and EN 1149-5 compliance
A 1% carbon fibre element woven through the knit provides a conductive path for electrostatic discharge. Compliance with EN 1149-5 confirms the material meets recognised electrostatic dissipation criteria.
Lowered static buildup helps reduce ignition risk in environments with flammable vapours or dust. Suitable for workplaces where electrostatic control is part of safe working practice.
Comfort for long shifts – Thanks to high cotton content and soft knit
High cotton proportion in the Modaflame blend keeps the fabric softer against skin and aids moisture absorption, while the knit structure preserves stretch and fit. The two-layer format balances protection with flexibility.
Comfortable coverage reduces distraction and chafing during extended wear, making consistent use more likely. Breathable knit assists temperature regulation beneath helmets or collars.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Portwest Flame Resistant Anti-Static Neck Tube
- ATPV 22 cal/cm² – Limits energy transfer in short thermal incidents, reducing burn severity.
- Two-layer Modaflame knit – Maintains flame resistance while allowing flexibility for unrestricted movement.
- EN 1149-5 anti-static – Dissipates static charge to lower ignition potential in flammable atmospheres.
- CE-CAT III certification – Validates high-level personal protective performance for workplace safety.
