THINSULATE™
Thinsulate™ insulation has very high insulation properties compared to its weight. The fine fibers that make up Thinsulate™ insulation, work by trapping air molecules between you and the outside. The more air a material traps in a given space‚ the better it insulates you from the cold outside air. Thinsulate™ is breathable, moist-resistant, and machine washable. Thinsulate ™ is a trademark of 3M™.

OEKO-TEX®
D3O®
D3O® smart materials specialize in impact protection and shock absorption. Its unique patented polymer composites contain a chemically engineered dilatant as an energy absorber. The material’s molecules flow freely in standard conditions, but on impact, they lock together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to their flexible state. This unique characteristic provides enhanced impact protection, while providing versatile and flexible materials that can be manufactured for a host of impact protective applications. Note: D3O® does not” go hard”.

COOLMAX®
Coolmax® fabrics are designed to move moisture away from the body and enhance fabric drying rate, thus keeping you feeling cool and dry. The Coolmax® fiber is a specially engineered polyester fiber with an increased surface area. The fiber forms a transport system that pulls moisture away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric where it spreads and dries quick. The performance of Coolmax® is inherent in the fibres structure itself, thereby providing consistent performance wash after wash. Coolmax® is a trademark of INVISTA Inc.

LYCRA®
LYCRA® fiber is the brand name of the original spandex (elastane) fiber invented in 1958. It is a nearly invisible fiber that improves the characteristics of fabrics. Even adding a small percentage of LYCRA® fiber to natural and man-made fibers adds lasting comfort, fit, shape retention and durability to the finished fabric.
LYCRA®
PROTEX®
Protex® is highly flame-retardant fiber which use advantage of acrylic fiber which possesses a soft, drappeable hand and superior dyability. In addition, Protex® is inherently flame retardant which allows for blends with various natural and synthetic fiber.Protex® is an inherently flame-retardant product in which the fiber resin itself contains the flame-retardant ingredient. When the flame source is removed, Protex® has a self-extinguishing characteristic in which combustion stops when the ignition source is removed immediately. Unlike FR after treatments, there is no deterioration in flame retardancy after either repeated washing or normal use over time.Protex® is a registered trademark of Kaneka Corporation.

Modern industry imposes higher demands on all aspects of production. Cleanliness, precision and accuracy. You maintain mobility and sensitivity yet have a better grip & dexterity on small parts, you keep your hands clean and protect them from injury.
ANSWER: SYNTHTIC LEATHER.
If the work environment is oily, wet & dirty or contains a lot of chemical substances, then it is a pair of synthetic gloves with a coating that must be worn. Ensure that the gloves meet the requirements you demand of them. That they give the right grip, right protection and that they facilitate your work.
ANSWER: SYNTHTIC LEATHER WITH ADDTIONAL GRIP REINFORCEMNT.
It’s now the turn of work where the temperature is high & cut protection is compulsory, leather is still slightly ahead of synthetic materials. We therefore recommend good, heavy leather gloves.
ANSWER: GENUINE LEATHER WITH CUT PROTECTION LINER.
Do you have a job where one moment you are handling a nail gun or screwdriver, and the next carrying planks or bricks? You then need a pair of gloves that has both a certain thickness.
