Leader in Insulated Workwear for Extreme Temperatures Unveils
FrostFlex™ System at ASSP Safety24.
DENVER, Aug. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RefrigiWear, the largest supplier of
insulated work apparel for the cold chain, unveiled its innovative
new FrostFlex™ System of configurable thermal garments today at the
Safety24 Conference & Expo hosted by the American Society of
Safety Professionals (ASSP).
"Choosing the FrostFlex™ System gives our customers and their
employees the advantage of mixing and matching insulated jackets,
work pants and bib overalls for different job functions across five
different temperature zones, all while maintaining uniformity. This
new level of customizable protection will enhance employee safety
and satisfaction, leading to greater productivity and better
employee retention," explains RefrigiWear Chief Commercial Officer
Wes Dye.
The FrostFlex System is a versatile mix-and-match thermal
personal protective equipment (PPE) system that helps workers in
cold storage and food processing facilities adapt to different
temperature zones across their facilities, while uniting all
employees with a coordinated and cohesive appearance. The FrostFlex
System can be configured to provide protection in five temperature
zones: 10°F, 0°F, -20°F, -40°F and -60°F.
RefrigiWear developed the system in response to feedback from
customers who need to maintain a cohesive look for employees across
all areas of a facility where employees may be working in freezer
warehouses; coolers and food processing stations; or
temperature-controlled staging areas and loading docks.
The FrostFlex System addresses the thermal PPE needs of each of
these areas with three jackets, two pants and one set of bib
overalls that deliver a specific level of warmth. Each component of
the FrostFlex™ System can be worn independently, or two layers can
be zipped together for a higher level of thermal protection from
the cold.
The outer layer of the system, the FrostFlex Insulated Jacket
and Bib Overalls, is comfort rated for 0°F when worn alone. The two
inner layer options, the FrostFlex Insulated Quilted Jacket and
Pants and the FrostFlex Fleece Jacket and Pants, are comfort rated
for temperatures as low as -20°F and 10°F, respectively.
The thermal warming power of each FrostFlex System component
increases significantly when an inner layer is combined with the
outer layer, creating new configurations comfort-rated for -40°F
and -60°F conditions. Color-coded layering indicators at the top of
each collar help safety managers quickly check and confirm that an
employee is properly protected from the cold conditions of their
work area.
Essential workers in the cold chain face long shifts in
impossibly cold conditions to keep food products flowing from farms
to grocery stores to tables in homes and restaurants. The insulated
PPE they need varies from person to person based on their job
function, the temperature of their work area, and their personal
factors or preferences. The FrostFlex System empowers employers to
offer five different thermal PPE configurations while maintaining a
cohesive appearance for all employees.
The FrostFlex System is on display in booth #1717 at ASSP's
Safety24 Conference & Expo through August 9.
