Description Dromex® D59 flame and acid treated officers’ style jacket and pants is designed to protect the user from the hazards of accidental flame contact and acid splashes, reducing injury when working in hazardous environments. The Dromex DW-D59FAOR pants and jacket is approved to the latest SANS 434 specification and has the SABS permit marking. The D59 drill fabric construction is heavy duty and durable, whilst the flame acid garment treatment technology resists the effects of flame contact and acid corrosion offering the user offer essential protection in the workplace. The 100% cotton satin weave finish and natural fibre construction makes this garment comfortable and breathable. This garment consists of the following: Jacket features: • Collared jacket with internal hanger loop. • High visibility flame retardant reflective tape on lower arm, upper arm, partial chest, shoulders and rear upper back, for enhanced visibility when working in poor lighting environments. • Concealed brass YKK zip closure. • 2 Open waist pockets and 1 left breast pocket with a Dromex® side- winder label, mitred flap and concealed metal press stud closure. • Side slits for comfortable fit over waist. • Elasticated sleeve cuffs prevent the risk of loose clothing caught in machinery. • Seams are triple needled with topstitching for added durability. • Flame retardant and acid resistant embroidery on arm for garment identification. Pants features: • Flame retardant reflective tape on leg for enhanced visibility when working in poor lighting environments. • A concealed brass zip and with metal nickel button closure at waist. • Two front swing pockets and a rear mitred open pocket with Dromex® sidewinder label. • A tool pocket on the right leg. • A Dromex® sidewinder label on back pocket. • Triple needle topstitching for added durability. • Inner elasticated waist for optimum fit and flexibility with 7 belt loops. This garment is suitable for use in general work environments such as engineering, smelting operations, mining, construction, oil and gas, petroleum, maintenance, repairs and welding industries.
Compliance & Conformity
• Garments comply to the latest SANS 434 standard (This standard
specifies requirements for cut, make and trim of two-piece work wear
suits).
This standard makes reference to the following relevant standards:
SANS 1362 Sewing threads.
SANS 1822 Slide fasteners.
SANS 5278 Sewing stitches per unit length.
SANS 10235 Fibre-content labelling of textiles and
textile products.
SANS 50471 High-visibility warning clothing
for professional use.
• The fabric is to SANS 1387-4 for D59 drill fabric, 4/1 satin weave
@270gsm, 37 thread per cm weft and 19 threads per cm warp.
The breaking strength is 940 N warp and 510 N weft.
• Flame retardant fabric is tested to SANS 1423-1 for textile fabrics
of low flammability for apparel:
Class B Category 1:
The fabric ignites within a given time period and might continue to
flame but at a rate of flame propagation that is within a specified limit.
Surface Flash None.
Ignition time (seconds) _ 20 sec.
Rate of flame propagation 5 mm/s.
** Note this is a test situation for the fabric and does not cancel or imply
otherwise to the labels wash instruction.
• Flame retardant silver retro-reflective tape is tested to
SANS 50471:2006 (EN 471:2003 + A1:2008) and SANS 1423-1:2008
for textile fabrics of low flammability for apparel:
High visibility warning protective clothing capable of signalling the
users presence visually intended to provide conspicuity of the user
in hazardous situations under any light conditions by day and under
illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark. Performance require-
ments are included for retro-reflection and not for the entire garment.
• Acid resistant fabric is tested to ISO 6530:2005 for protection
against liquid chemicals:
Two levels of the potential performance are assessed by this method of
testing to meet with possible requirements for protection against:
a) Deposition on the surface of a material at minimal pressure
of spray droplets up to coalescence or occasional small drips.
b) Contamination by a single low-volume splash or low-
pressure jet, allowing sufficient time to divest the clothing or
take other action as necessary to eliminate any hazard to the
wearer from chemical retained by the protective garment or
in circumstances where pressure is applied to liquid
contaminants on the surface of the clothing material,
as a result of natural of the wearer (flexing of contaminated
areas of clothing at arms, knees, shoulders) and contact with
contaminated surfaces (e.g. walking through sprayed foliage).
