Understanding the IDHP122 Westex DH Antistat Bib Pants

The Portwest IDHP122 bib pants are engineered with cutting-edge Westex DH Antistat fabric, providing workers with inherently flame-resistant protection that never washes out. These navy bib pants combine advanced safety features with exceptional comfort, making them ideal for workers in electrical utilities, oil and gas, petrochemical facilities, and other high-risk environments.

Advanced Fabric Technology: Westex DH Antistat

What sets the IDHP122 apart from standard flame-resistant workwear is its sophisticated fabric composition:

• 48% Lenzing™ Lyocell: Provides superior moisture management and breathability
• 39% Modacrylic: Delivers inherent flame resistance that lasts the lifetime of the garment
• 12% Aramid: Adds exceptional strength and thermal protection
• 1% Carbon Fiber: Provides critical antistatic properties for electrical hazard protection

This 6.5oz fabric weight offers the perfect balance between protection and comfort, ensuring workers can perform their duties without excessive heat stress while maintaining full compliance with safety regulations.

Key Features of the IDHP122 Flame-Resistant Bib Pants

Antistatic Protection for Electrical Safety

The addition of 1% carbon fiber to the Westex DH fabric provides essential antistatic properties, making these bib pants suitable for environments where static electricity poses an ignition risk. This feature is crucial for workers in refineries, chemical plants, and electrical maintenance operations.

Inherently Flame-Resistant Construction

Unlike treated flame-resistant garments that lose effectiveness over time, the IDHP122’s inherent flame resistance is woven into the fabric itself. This means:

• Protection never washes out or wears away
• Consistent performance throughout the garment’s lifecycle
• Reliable safety in flash fire and arc flash situations
• Compliance with multiple NFPA standards

Superior Comfort and Breathability

Understanding that uncomfortable PPE often goes unworn, Portwest engineered these bib pants with worker comfort in mind:

• Outstanding breathability: The woven blend allows air circulation, reducing heat stress
• Optimized moisture management: Keeps workers cooler, drier, and more comfortable during long shifts
• Low propensity for pilling: Maintains professional appearance and fabric integrity
• Lightweight 6.5oz fabric: Provides protection without excessive weight

Comprehensive Safety Standards Compliance

The Westex DH Antistat fabric used in the IDHP122 bib pants meets or exceeds the requirements of multiple critical safety standards:

NFPA Standards

• NFPA 2112: Standard on Flame-Resistant Clothing for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short-Duration Thermal Exposures from Fire
• NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace
• NFPA 1975: Standard on Station/Work Uniforms for Structural Fire Fighting
• NFPA 1977: Standard on Protective Clothing and Equipment for Wildland Fire Fighting

Additional Certifications
