In high-risk industries where safety cannot be compromised, the UFR87 Bizflame 88/12 Classic FR Coverall Gray Tall stands as the benchmark for durable, comfortable, and compliant flame-resistant protection specifically designed for taller workers. As an authorized Portwest dealer, TECHACS Safety Solutions proudly offers this industry-leading garment engineered to safeguard workers against arc flashes, radiant heat, and convective heat throughout its entire service life. This gray tall FR coverall is a critical component of any comprehensive personal protective equipment program that prioritizes proper fit and thermal comfort for all workers.
Perfect Fit for Taller Workers with Superior Thermal Management
The UFR87 Gray Tall variant addresses a critical safety need – properly fitting NFPA-certified protective equipment for taller individuals in a modern, heat-reflective color. Extended sleeve and leg lengths ensure complete coverage without compromising mobility or compliance, while the contemporary gray color provides excellent thermal management properties and professional appearance. This specialized sizing eliminates dangerous protection gaps that can occur with standard-length coveralls on taller workers, ensuring full-body coverage that maintains NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E certification requirements while keeping workers cooler in high-temperature environments.
Guaranteed Flame Resistance for Life of Garment
The core promise of the UFR87 Bizflame 88/12 Classic FR Coverall Gray Tall is its guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment. Unlike treated fabrics that can wash out over time, the inherent FR properties of the Bizflame 88/12 fabric are built-in and permanent. This ensures consistent protection, wash after wash, providing peace of mind and exceptional long-term value for your safety investment – especially important for taller workers who often face limited options in certified FR clothing with modern color choices.
Bizflame 88/12 Fabric Technology with Extended Dimensions
The UFR87 Tall utilizes Portwest’s renowned Bizflame 88/12 fabric blend, consisting of 88% cotton and 12% nylon, with extended length in sleeves, torso, and legs. This specialized composition delivers inherent flame resistance that cannot be washed out or worn away, unlike chemical treatments that degrade over time. The natural cotton content provides breathability and comfort, while the nylon reinforcement adds durability and strength for demanding industrial applications. The tall sizing ensures proper coverage on taller frames without the bunching or restriction that can occur when wearing oversized standard lengths. The gray color enhances thermal comfort by reflecting heat better than darker colors.
