Overview
- The Road-mate Flame Resistant Pant is the matching lower half of the Road-mate protective clothing system, made from exactly the same fabric as the Road-mate Flame Resistant Shirt and carrying the same ratings, because a protection category describes the clothing system covering the body rather than one garment in it — when a project specification calls for CAT 2 it is speaking about everything the worker has on, so the set is completed by matching the lower half at the same level. Its resistance is inherent, meaning flame resistance is part of the molecular structure of the fibres themselves rather than a layer added on top: 27% modacrylic, 16% aramid, 55% Lenzing cellulosic and 2% antistatic fibre, so the protection lasts the life of the fabric — a quality worth more on the trouser than anywhere else, because the trouser is laundered more often than the shirt in field use. Its arc performance is declared as two values drawn from the IEC 61482-1-1 test, ATPV = 8.8 cal/cm² and ELIM = 5.7 cal/cm²: the first marks the energy level at which the chance of a second-degree burn reaches one in two, while the second marks the threshold below which every specimen came through undamaged, making it the more conservative reading of the pair; the value adopted for kitting out is referred to the facility safety engineer under the site arc flash study and the wording of the specification. The fabric also carries EN ISO 11612 with codes A1, B1 and C1 and EN 1149-5 for electrostatic dissipative properties, and the item is classified CAT 2. It is a twill at 185 GSM (5.5 oz), among the lighter weights in FR clothing, breathable and soft to the touch, with excellent colour fastness and 3% wash shrinkage that keeps the fit stable across successive washes. The size is chosen to sit comfortably rather than tight across the thigh and knee, since the pocket of air trapped between cloth and leg forms part of the thermal insulation while also allowing freedom of movement when kneeling and climbing; synthetic underlayers are ruled out in favour of natural cotton or a flame resistant material. The colour is Navy Blue and the country of manufacture is Pakistan. Available from Al-Najma Al-Wataniyah Est. with a quality guarantee and fast supply to projects across the Kingdom in Riyadh, Dammam and all regions.

Documentation & Standards
- Arc rating, a property of the fabric, protection category CAT 2 describes the clothing system covering the body.
- Additional reference standards for the Saudi market:
- ASTM F1959 (test method for determining the arc rating of materials)
- NFPA 70E (standard for electrical safety in the workplace — and the PPE category classification)
- EN ISO 13688 (general requirements for protective clothing)
| Standard | What It Means in Practice |
| IEC 61482-1-1 | The arc flash test from which both ratings are derived: ATPV = 8.8 cal/cm² and ELIM = 5.7 cal/cm² |
| NFPA 70E — CAT 2 | The PPE category classification required for electrical work, and a description of the complete clothing system |
| EN ISO 11612 — A1 | Limited flame spread on surface ignition |
| EN ISO 11612 — B1 | Protection against convective heat (the lowest of the three B levels) |
| EN ISO 11612 — C1 | Protection against radiant heat (the lowest of the four C levels) |
| EN 1149-5 | Electrostatic dissipative properties for protective clothing in flammable atmospheres |
| NFPA 2112 | The American specification for flame resistant garments — the fabric and trim carry UL approval to it |
Industrial Applications
- B2B sectors — detailed engineering use:
| Sector / Application | Engineering Use Detail |
| Completing the clothing system for CAT 2 | The lower half in the same fabric and the same rating used in the matching shirt |
| Petrochemicals and flammable gas areas | Trousers rub against seats, ladders and equipment throughout the shift, and the charge-dissipating property to EN 1149-5 addresses that continuous friction |
| Work involving frequent kneeling and sitting | Trousers are exposed to heavier soiling and more laundering, and inherent resistance is unaffected by the number of wash cycles |
| Field work in summer heat | 185 GSM fabric sits among the lighter weights in FR clothing |
| Repeated industrial laundry programmes | Only 3% shrinkage keeps the fit stable across successive washes |
| Electrical work within CAT 2 | An arc rating declared as two figures (ATPV and ELIM) to be matched against the site arc flash study |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the flame resistant shirt enough on its own?
- No. A protection category describes the clothing system covering the body, not one garment in it. Ordinary trousers under an FR shirt leave the legs unprotected — worse, ordinary trousers can ignite and keep burning after the heat source is gone, and if synthetic they can melt onto the skin. Completing the set is not an optional upgrade; it is what makes the purchased category actually hold.
Q2: Is the trouser fabric the same as the shirt fabric?
- Yes. The trouser and the shirt are made from exactly the same blend — 55% Lenzing cellulosic, 27% modacrylic, 16% aramid and 2% antistatic — at the same weight (185 GSM) and with the same ratings. In other words there is no weaker half in the clothing system, which matters because protection is measured by its weakest link.
Q3: Why are there two protection figures (8.8 and 5.7)?
- Because they are two different measurement points within the same arc flash test to IEC 61482-1-1. ATPV = 8.8 cal/cm² is the energy at which the probability of a second-degree burn reaches 50%. ELIM = 5.7 cal/cm² is the highest energy at which no specimen exceeded the injury threshold, making it the more conservative value. Which of the two you adopt is for your own safety engineer to determine, based on the arc flash study and the wording of the specification.
Q4: Does the resistance disappear after a number of washes?
- No, because the resistance is inherent in the fibre. It is part of the molecular structure of the fibres themselves — modacrylic, aramid and flame resistant cellulosic — not a compound added at the finishing stage that can be washed out or worn away. This matters more on the trouser than anywhere else, because it is laundered more often than the shirt and takes heavier soiling from kneeling and sitting. Laundry care still matters for the durability of the fabric itself, and following the manufacturer instructions is recommended.
Q5: Do you deliver to Riyadh, Dammam and all regions of the Kingdom?
- Yes — supply is available to every region of the Kingdom, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Jubail, Yanbu and all other regions, within 2-3 business days. For projects and complete crew sets, the B2B team prices the set (shirt and trouser) as one unit, collects the crew sizes, and prepares the project file.
