PROFESSION SHEET : PETROCHEMICALS INDUSTRY – PETROCHEMICALS COVERALL

INTRODUCTION

The petrochemical industry presents many dangers for workers, including exposure to harmful chemicals. Faced with sometimes a hostile environment, and with various risks of splashes (liquids, dust, aerosols), the wearer of a petrochemicals coverall must assess the chemical risk he takes. The coverall must ensure freedom of movement and optimal comfort to reduce painful working conditions and stress. The environment in which the various oil activities take place also exposes workers to the risk of explosion. The materials of the WeeJet, WeePro Max Plus and WeePro chemical protection suits are coated with an antistatic treatment on both sides of the garment.

INCURRED RISKS

EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS ATEX ZONES. Standard required: EN1149-5, Protective clothing with electrostatic properties

OIL AND GREASE SPLASHES. Standard required: Type 6 (EN13034) protection against reduced sprays (light splashes and sprays)

HAZARDOUS DUST. Standard required: Type 5 (EN13982-1) protection against airborne solid particulates.

AEROSOLS SPRAYS. Standard required: Type 4 (EN14605) Protection clothing against liquid chemicals with spray-tight

HYDROCARBON JETS. Standard required: Type 3 (EN14605) Protective clothing against liquid chemicals.

PETROCHEMICALS COVERALL FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY

WEEJET

Coverall providing protection against jets of concentrated chemicals under pressure. Its high-density outer coating ensures optimum resistance to abrasion (6/6 according to EN530), and a high tear resistance (3/6 according to ISO9073- 4). An elastic thumb-loop seals the protective gloves.

WEEPRO MAX PLUS

Coverall providing protection against aerosols and low concentration chemical splashes. Its tight seams and antistatic treatment on both sides make it possible for use in maintenance operations on oil sites.

WEEPRO

Coverall offering protection against small splashes of low concentration chemicals and hazardous dust. Its ergonomics ensure optimal comfort throughout the intervention or site visits. Its antistatic treatment on both sides dissipates the load in risk areas
