Portwest FR94 Flame-Resistant Coverall FAQ
What is the arc rating of the Portwest FR94 coverall?
Portwest reports an ASTM F1959 ATPV of 8.2 cal/cm² and a heat attenuation factor of 69.1%. The employer's hazard assessment must determine whether that rating is sufficient for the task.
Is the FR94 coverall listed to NFPA 2112?
Yes. Portwest lists FR94 to NFPA 2112 for flame-resistant clothing used in industrial flash-fire environments. Confirm the garment label and current certificate when documentation is required for a safety program.
Does FR reflective tape make this an ANSI high-visibility coverall?
No ANSI/ISEA 107 Type or Class rating is listed for FR94 by Portwest. The reflective tape improves low-light visibility, but an explicitly ANSI-rated garment is needed when the job requires ANSI high-visibility compliance.
What fabric is used in the FR94?
The shell is 7 oz Bizflame 88/12 fabric made from 88% cotton and 12% nylon. Portwest states that it protects against radiant and convective heat and retains flame resistance for 100 washes when cared for as directed.
What size range does ASA currently list?
The current ASA listing shows sizes S through 4X. Portwest's manufacturer page lists a broader S through 6XL range for FR94, but availability can vary by fit and variant. Select from the options shown above and review the size chart before ordering.
Can this coverall be worn over regular work clothing?
Layering must follow the employer's hazard assessment and FR clothing program. Do not assume every ordinary underlayer is suitable; some non-FR synthetic materials can melt when exposed to heat. Confirm compatible layers, fit, closure, and total system protection before use.
How should the FR94 coverall be washed?
Follow the sewn-in label. Portwest lists a maximum wash temperature of 140°F, no bleach, low tumble drying, ironing up to 300°F, and no dry cleaning.
Is this coverall sold individually?
Yes. This ASA listing is for one Portwest FR94 coverall. Select the required available options before adding it to the cart.
