Static Reduction

At Bisley Workwear, we work hard to reduce the amount of static electricity your body conducts by offering a large range of natural cotton fibre products. Our 100% Cotton Workwear naturally avoids the generation of static electricity by remaining netural therefore increasing wearer comfort.

If the wearer is prone to dry skin, especially in Winter months, it is strongly recommended that 100% Cotton Workwear is worn against the skin.

Synthetic undergarments may counteract this advantage so, where possible, we recommend the wearing of natural fibre undergarments.

Cool Lightweight

Bisley Workwear’s Cool Lightweight garments have been designed to help you work smart, not harder. Clothing has been built for comfort to keep you cool and dry when working in harsh conditions. The innovative design improves airflow to your skin, which allows your body to cool a faster pace.

Flame Resistant

Bisley Flame Resistant garments are tested to ensure they comply with the Australian/New Zealand as well as world wide standards. Bisley Flame Resistant fabric range fulfils measures such as durability, comfort, protection, weight and price.

ATPV
ATPV stands for Arc Thermal Protective Value and refers to the minimum incident energy (in calories per cubic centimetre) that protective equipment can be exposed to and prevent to onset of a second-degree burn. Ratings are based upon the total weight of the fabric. Appropriate clothing ranges from untreated cotton, wool, rayon, or silk materials with a fabric weight of at least 4.5 ounces per square yard to flame retardant (treated) clothing worn in layers.

HRC
HRC stands for Hazard Risk Category. The level is determined by the minimum amount of calories per square centimetre (ATPV or Cal/cm²) a treated garment must pass through with a 50% probability of a 2nd or 3rd degree burn occurring, thus the protective level of the treated clothing. The higher the ATPV, the higher the HRC level attained, the greater the protection.
