Why the Portwest FR19 is the #1 Choice for Arc-Rated Neck Protection
The FR19 is constructed from Modaflame™ Knit – an inherently flame-resistant fabric blend of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Carbon Fibre (300g / 9oz). Unlike treated fabrics, the flame resistance is built into the yarn itself, meaning protection will never wash out – even after hundreds of industrial launderings.
