Protection and Comfort with Prowear D3E3 Fireproof Clothing: Jacket and Trousers for the Metal Industry

Written by Anna Battocchio | 12 March 2025

In the world of the metal industry, worker safety is a top priority. The risks associated with contact with molten metals, such as aluminium and iron, require the use of highly resistant and comfortable fireproof clothing. Coval Safety responds to this need with the Prowear D3E3 line, which includes the V3TW jacket and V4TW flame retardant trousers, specifically designed to protect those working in hazardous environments such as foundries, steelworks and metal production plants.

V3TW Flameproof Jacket: Advanced Protection for Metal Industry Workers

The V3TW jacket is part of the new PROWEAR line and is the ideal solution for those working in environments with a high risk of exposure to molten metals. Thanks to its inherent flame retardant fabric construction, the jacket offers superior resistance to molten aluminium and iron splashes, providing optimal protection in critical situations. ISO 11612:2015 (A1 B1 C1 D3 E3 F1) certifies its effectiveness against heat and flame, protecting the wearer even in extremely hazardous environments.

Main features of the V3TW jacket:

  • Maximum resistance to molten aluminium and iron, protecting against high temperatures and damage caused by liquid metals.
  • Soft and comfortable, ensuring comfort throughout the working day.
  • Superior thermal insulation, maintaining a constant body temperature in hot and cold conditions.
  • Unaltered flame-retardant properties even after numerous washings, thanks to the chemical-free fabric.
Quick-release fasteners, allowing the jacket to be quickly removed in an emergency.

In addition, the V3TWB version includes reflective bands, which increase visibility in dark and poorly lit environments, enhancing overall safety in the workplace.

Prowear D3E3 Fireproof Trousers: Comfort and Safety at 360°.

The Prowear D3E3 fireproof trousers perfectly complement the V3TW jacket, offering complete protection for metal workers. Made from the same inherent flame-retardant fabric, these trousers are designed to withstand the harshest conditions without compromising comfort. Like the jacket, the trousers are designed to provide durable protection, with resistance to molten metal splashes and excellent heat resistance.

Also available in the V4TWB version with reflective bands.

Why Should You Choose Prowear D3E3?

    The Prowear D3E3 line is designed to last, maintaining its flame-retardant properties even after numerous washings. There are no chemical treatments, just a natural flame-retardant fabric that protects in all circumstances.


  2. Comfort and Convenience
    Despite the advanced protection, the jacket and trousers are soft, comfortable and easy to wear. The mixed wool composition in the fabric ensures a constant body temperature, with a product that stays cool in summer and warm in winter.

  3. Customisation and Visibility
    The Prowear D3E3 line offers several colour variants (blue, dark blue, grey, red, orange), allowing companies to maintain a unified and recognisable image. Reflective bands, available on request, ensure greater visibility for workers in poorly lit or risky environments.

  4. Compliance with Safety Regulations
    This is an innovative garment, which achieves the highest level of protection according to EN ISO 11612:2015:
    - level D3, maximum level of protection against molten aluminium splash,

Ideal for Industry Sectors Such as Foundries and Steelworks

Prowear D3E3 jacket and trousers are perfect for the metal industry, especially for foundries, iron and steel works and molten metal production.

Although they offer exceptional protection, these garments do not replace aluminised clothing, which is recommended for extreme operations in direct contact with heat sources and molten metals.
