Work in heavy industry, power plants and fire and safety takes place under extreme conditions.

Certified according to all safety requirements and standards

All our flame-retardant clothing are certified in accordance with safety requirements and norms. We also carry out separate tests in order to be at the front edge of development. Experience, careful testing and adequate documentation has allowed us to set the standard for flame-retardant workwear.

We use different types of fabrics in our flame-retardant collections

The different fabrics consist of different components to cover different needs and comply with different regulations. It includes everything from flame-retardant properties, light arc protection, anti-static and welding properties to protection against molten iron and aluminium and much more.

Where can a arc flash occur?

An arc flash can be formed both high voltage and low voltage sites. The term is used in relation to the potential damage caused by a short circuit electric arcs. It is given in calories per square centimetres (cal/cm²). This type of energy is a result of the amount of energy, time and distance to the light arch. The scope of the damage therefore depends on how long you are exposed to the light arch and how close you are to it.

Correct protection
The right protection is therefore essential for everyone working in electrical plants and who carry out maintenance of equipment in plants that are not secured against arc flashs or who work with high voltage equipment.

Choose the right value ATPV

It is important to use protective equipment that is adapted to the potential voltage in a power plant or workplaces with a risk of arcing.
This is known as the ATPV value (Arc Thermal Performance Value). The clothing must therefore be labelled with the amount of calories per square centimetres it can withstand.

Categorized by incident energy:

• PPE 0 ≤ 1,2 cal/cm² (no requirement for arc flach resistant clothing)
• PPE 1 ≤ 4 cal/cm²
• PPE 2 ≤ 8 cal/cm²
• PPE 3 ≤ 25 cal/cm²
• PPE 4 ≤ 40 cal/cm²
• PPE x > 40 cal/cm²  (extreme danger)

Clothing in relation to ATPV rating

The clothing must have an ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value) rating equal to, or greater than, the applicable value for the arc flash energy at the workplace. Layer on layer arc flash tested clothing will produce a minimum ATPV rating equal to the sum of the ATPV ratings for each layer. The combination can produce a higher ATPV rating than the sum of the ratings of each layer.

Layered clothing provides the best protection against light archs

It provides a minimum ATPV value, which is equal to the sum of the ATPV value of each layer. However, the composition can give you an ATPV value that higher than the sum of each separate layer. The reason for this is that several layers increase the amount of air between you and the garments. By using many layers of clothing, you can isolate yourself better against the energy in the event of a light arch. However, only tests can give us an idea of how much added protection the air pockets provide.

Layer upon layer of protection: Gore-Tex Jacket Electric Arc 0-56850-19819, Devold Spacer Jacket 0-251-310,
Devold spirit long-sleeved t-shirt 0-1228-30 provides atpv value = 105,2 cal/m2.

What does wearing layered clothing entail?

1. Always use wool undergarments
Wool undergarments are flame-retardant and provide increased protection, as well as being moisture-wicking and keeping the body dry. If you use the wrong fabrics, you run the risk of the undergarments catching fire and melting on your skin.

2. A flame-retardant mid-layer of clothing provides heating insulation and increased protection.
Determine the thickness of the garment based on you work conditions and your work environment. An added layer also increases the amount of air between the garments and isolated better against possible light archs.

3. The outermost layer is the shell that provides you with the added protection.
The garment must be adapted to the potential incydent energy arc, the ATPV value, in the work place. The layered clothing principle provides increased flexibility. Determine and adapt the amount of garments based on the weather and wind conditions, and also how high the risk is in your particular work station.

New! Multistretch

Optimum comfort and fit are important for people who move a lot throughout the day in order to have a better everyday working life.

Our new multistretch collection includes 4-wa suyper stretch fabrics that we use in small panels on the garments and which lead to excellent moveability. Not only are the fabrics stretchy, they are also soft and have an excellent fit, which makes the item of clothing extremely comfortable to wear.

We have chosen to use segmented reflective tags to not impede the movement of the stretchy fabric.  Segmented reflectors also offer a contemporary look.

We have also developed our own women's collection, Curved. 4-way stretch garments are very well suited to the female shape. The women's clothing has the same functions as the male/unisex models.

Gore-Tex Electric Arc

Når vind, fuktighet og kulde er en utfordring

Å arbeide ute i røft klima med kuldegrader, vind, snø eller høy fuktighet kan være utfordrende. Derfor utviklet Wenaas sammen med Devold et bekledningskonsept som har en høy brukerkomfort i alle arbeidsstillinger og holder brukeren varm gjennom hele dagen.

utviklingsfasen ble ulike plagg og løsninger testet av Sintef i deres arbeidsfysiologiske labratorier der temperaturen er senket ned til -250C for å finne den løsningen som ga de beste resultater. Disse løsningene ble igjen testet av brukere som arbeidet i miljø der kulde/vind er en utfordring for å få gjort arbeidsoppgaven på en trygt og komfortabelt måte.

Brukeren kan benytte plaggene i områder med komplekse fare-eksponeringer uten å bytte arbeidsklær, da kolleksjonen oppnår EN ISO godkjenninger på et meget bredt og høyt nivå. I tillegg oppnår jakken en Arc rating EBT50: på hele 49,1 cal/cm2.

Rep-kit for å reparere Gore-Tex plaggene hvis uhellet er ute

Fått hull eller en rift i Gore-Tex plagget ditt? Det kan du gjøre noe med! Du trenger ikke kjøpe nytt plagg fordi Gore-Tex-membranen er punktert. Kjøp et Rep-kit for Gore-Tex som fås i både synlighetsgul og marineblå og reparer plagget ditt hjemme. På denne måten forlenger du plaggets levetid og er mer miljøvennlig. Vi har laget en lett instruksjonsvideo for hvordan du skal gjøre.

Flammehemmende mellomlags- og undertøy

Optimal beskyttelse oppnås ved bruk av tre flammehemmende lag. Kombinasjonen av flammehemmende plagg fra innerst til ytterst er avgjørende for graden av beskyttelse.

Flammehemmende undertøy uten ull

Spacer mellombekledning - med tre unike lag

Spacer mellombekledning består av et tredimensjonalt strikket materiale, med ull på innsiden og utsiden. Spacer-garn opprettholder avstanden mellom disse lagene, og åpner dermed for luftstrømmer som øker isolasjonseffekten – samtidig som det muliggjør at vekten holdes lav.
