Optimal comfort and maximum protection for arc flash risks
Workers in industrial environments are exposed daily to risks such as arc flash incidents, heat and chemical splashes. For them, reliable protective clothing is indispensable.
But the question remains: why should your employees settle for clothing that either protects them or is comfortable, when they can have both? Many companies still underestimate the impact of heat stress on productivity and safety until it is too late. With the new Arc Flash collection Senko, W.L. Gore & Associates, Van Heurck and Vandeputte Safety Experts continue to expand the successful Samurai range. The result is an innovative workwear line that combines high-quality protection, breathable comfort and durability; exactly what the industry needs.
Protection to the highest standards
The Senko collection is designed to ensure maximum safety in demanding working environments. All garments are certified to international and European standards:
- IEC 61482-1-2 - arc flash category 2 protection against the thermal effects of an electric arc (ATPV: 41 cal/cm² ELIM: 35 gr/m²)
- EN ISO 11612: protection against heat and flames
- EN ISO 11611: protection during welding, against metal spatter and UV radiation
- EN 1149: antistatic properties, essential in ATEX zones
- EN 13034 type 6 - protection against small splashes of liquid chemicals
These versatile certifications make the Senko Arc Flash collection suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
Lightweight, breathable and comfortable
Many companies still invest in standard arc flash clothing that only meets the minimum requirements. But what are the real costs if employees become tired faster, make mistakes or even go sick due to heat stress? Traditional arc flash clothing can feel hot and heavy. The Senko collection eliminates those issues with its GORE-TEX® membrane:
- Billions of microscopic pores quickly wick away perspiration.
- The lightweight, durable fabric prevents overheating.
- Comfort is combined with high ROI: workers feel dry and protected all day, and the clothes have an exceptionally long lifespan.
It not only offers maximum protection, but also increases wearing comfort and productivity - an investment that pays off every day.
Practical features for everyday use
The collection includes an Arc Flash vest and Arc Flash trousers. Both are designed with functionality in mind:
- Concealed zip
- Spacious chest and side pockets with secure closure
- Gas loops, elasticated sleeve ends and stand-up collar
- Fluorescent accents and reflective standardisation icons
- Hidden jeans button and sturdy zip fastening
- Convenient back, meter and thigh pockets with velcro
- Fluorescent accents and reflective standardisation icons
Available in sizes 38 to 66 and in various colours.
Durable and industrially washable
Developed for intensive use, the Arc Flash collection retains its protective properties even after repeated industrial washing at 60°C. Damaged garments can also be repaired, which extends their lifespan. This makes the collection both safe and cost-effective.
GORE Fit For Use principle
All jackets and trousers undergo rigorous testing according to the GORE Fit For Use principle. Employers are thus reassured that the garments perform reliably in real life and employees have the protection they deserve.
Personalisation with company logo
For a professional look, the clothes can be personalised with your company logo. Important: for clothing complying with EN ISO 11611 or EN ISO 11612, a flame-retardant print is mandatory to sustain the certification. Embroidery logos are not possible because of standard EN 13034 type 6.
The new Arc Flash collection Senko combines safety, comfort and durability in one innovative workwear line.
