CAT 2 Arc-Rated Coverall with 4-Inch X-Back Visibility
The Portwest FR512 Bizflame 88/12 high-visibility coverall combines CAT 2 arc-rated protection with CSA Z96 Class 3 Level 2 visibility. Portwest lists an ATPV of 8.2 cal/cm² and compliance with NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, and ASTM F1959/F1959M-12.
The orange coverall uses lightweight 7 oz fabric made from 88% cotton and 12% nylon. Four-inch contrast reflective tape forms an X on the back, while a two-way breakaway brass zipper, eight pockets, H2S monitor attachment points, and a lowered rear tape position support industrial crews that need both FR/AR protection and high visibility.

FR/AR and High-Visibility Selection Note
Select arc-rated and flame-resistant clothing through a documented workplace hazard assessment. An ATPV of 8.2 cal/cm² does not mean the garment protects against every arc-flash or flash-fire exposure. Portwest lists this garment to CSA Z96 Class 3 Level 2; do not treat that classification as an ANSI/ISEA 107 rating where U.S. ANSI compliance is specifically required. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for fit, inspection, laundering, retirement, and compatible PPE.
