ProGARM TR120M Sustainable Arc Flash Trousers
The ProGARM TR120M is an arc rated men’s trouser from ProGARM’s sustainable range, built from 270gsm VXS+ inherent sustainable woven fabric. It carries APC 1 arc flash protection with an ELIM of 8 cal/cm², and because the protection is inherent to the fabric it cannot be washed out over the garment’s life. A practical everyday trouser for utility, industrial electrical and power generation work.
Certified Protection
The TR120M is tested across five European standards, making it a genuinely multi-hazard garment rather than a single-risk trouser:
| Standard | Protection |
|---|---|
| EN 61482-2 | Arc flash, APC 1, ELIM 8 cal/cm² |
| EN ISO 11612 (A1, A2, B1, C1, E1, F1) | Flame and heat protection |
| EN ISO 11611 (Class 1, A1, A2) | Welding protection |
| EN 1149-5 | Antistatic, charge decay |
| EN 13758-2 | UPF 40+ UV protection |
An ELIM of 8 cal/cm² is a fabric performance figure, not a licence to work at any incident energy. PPE selection should follow your site’s arc flash assessment, and the trouser should be worn as part of a full arc rated system. See our wider arc flash protection range for matching jackets, coveralls and face protection.

FAQs
What does APC 1 with ELIM 8 cal/cm² mean?
APC 1 is the arc protection class under the EN 61482-1-2 box test, and ELIM 8 cal/cm² is the incident energy limit the fabric withstood in open-arc testing without reaching the onset of second-degree burn. Your site’s arc flash study determines whether this rating is adequate for each task.
Does the arc protection wash out over time?
No. The protection is inherent to the VXS+ fabric rather than a chemical treatment, so it lasts the life of the garment. Follow the care label, inspect regularly for damage or worn seams, and retire the trousers if compromised.
Are these trousers suitable for welding work?
Yes. The TR120M is certified to EN ISO 11611 Class 1, A1, A2 for welding and allied processes, alongside its arc flash, flame, antistatic and UV certifications, so it covers multi-hazard environments where welding takes place near electrical plant.
