Questions about the FC18 boot
Does the Portwest FC18 have a steel or composite toe?
Composite. The FC18 has a composite toe cap and is 100% metal free.
What does the FC18 ASTM marking mean?
It is ASTM F2413-24 I C SD100 PR SR: impact (I) and compression (C) toe protection, static dissipative to 100 megohms (SD100), puncture resistance (PR) and slip resistance (SR).
Is the FC18 waterproof?
It has a water resistant upper and a bellow tongue that resists water penetration. Portwest does not call it waterproof.
Is the FC18 rated for electrical hazard (EH)?
No. Its ASTM marking is SD100, which means static dissipative, not EH. SD footwear helps bleed off static charge; it is not designed to insulate you from live electrical circuits.
Is the Portwest FC18 boot flame resistant?
No. The FC18 is safety footwear, not flame resistant (FR) gear, and it is not structural firefighting footwear or NFPA 1971 certified. Its heat resistant outsole (rated to 572°F) is about contact with hot surfaces, not fire protection.
