The UK-based Wearwell has launched a cutting-edge arc flash protection and flame-resistant clothing range using advanced fabric technology and 80 years’ of protective clothing know-how. The new launch comes under the award-winning workwear manufacturer’s Tecwear label and is among the most advanced workwear of its kind. The garments have been created following lengthy collaboration, research, design and development with employers, workers at risk of arc flash and fire-related hazards and fabric manufacturers, the compay said.

Steve Hill, sales and service director from Wearwell said: “Creating workwear that can protect against arc flash exposure has meant working closely with fabric manufactures and wearers. We have spent 12 months fully immersed in this area of PPE as we sought to understand how we can mitigate this hazard without compromising on comfort. In doing so, we have designed a brand-new range of workwear able to withstand extreme temperatures of up to 12,000-degC, explosive forces, emission of plasma, fast moving debris and hot liquids.”

Tecwear’s PPE workwear sets a new standard, with superior fabrics and carefully considered designs.
