Fabrics and materials for workwear, corporate workwear

Fabric for workwear is selected according to the characteristics responsible for comfortable and safe work. Work clothes are made from various materials. Some suits use thin, lightweight fabrics, while others require thick, fire-resistant fabrics. When choosing raw materials for workwear, it is worth taking into account the expected risk factors in the profession, its nuances, and seasonality. The materials have protective qualities, create convenience and comfortable working conditions.

Where does workwear begin?

The main functions of workwear are its protective properties and, of course, convenience; only after that, color preferences are placed in the background. An important detail when choosing clothes for work is its strength, wear resistance and durability. To ensure all this, it is necessary to select suitable materials with the desired weave of fibers and the correct combination of different types of fabric bases (natural, mixed, synthetic), insulation and the necessary accessories. Of course, the further use of the finished products will depend on the quality of tailoring, the method of fastening the seams, and even the quality of the selected accessories and threads. However, it is worth remembering that all damage and tears at the fabric joints along the seam can be repaired. But if integrity is lost due to the quality of the material of the upper fabric, such damage is much more difficult to restore, and even after this, the clothing may lose not only its original appearance, but also its protective properties.

The type and type of fabric used when sewing workwear is very important. To more accurately determine the type of fabric suitable for sewing work clothes for specialists in various industries, areas and types of activities, let’s look at the technical characteristics and basic properties of the most common fabrics.

Criteria for choosing fabric for workwear

When choosing fabric for workwear, be guided by the purpose of the form, hazard class and safety requirements. SWG professionals will develop uniforms for your company’s personnel with the required characteristics in accordance with GOST requirements.

Three pillars of the textile industry and their retinue

All fabrics are conventionally divided into 3 (three) types - natural, mixed and synthetic. In addition to the main varieties of outer and base fabrics, a sufficient amount of all kinds of fillers, linings, insulation, and special impregnations are used to make the product. Such impregnation can either enhance the technical characteristics of the fabric, or provide additional ones - resistance to fire, acids and alkalis, moisture resistance and other necessary protective properties. All of the above is directly used in the tailoring and production of workwear for each profession and specialty, depending on the safety requirements and working conditions at the enterprise.

First of all, it is worth remembering that whatever type of fabric the selected material for sewing workwear is, its quality should always be at its best. Otherwise, even the most resistant materials to more adverse influences will not be as durable as we would like.

Which material is better for workwear?

Much attention is paid to the issue of safety at enterprises, firms, industrial production and other facilities where special uniforms are required. To provide employees with the most comfortable working conditions, business owners invariably ask themselves which material for workwear is better, safer, and more durable. The properties and characteristics of the workwear directly depend on what fabric was used for sewing. Any set of uniform must meet two basic requirements: comfort and a high level of protection. Other preferred properties of workwear include:

• durability;
• easy care;
• air exchange;
• minimal contamination.

When choosing workwear, it is important to consider the working conditions for which it is intended - to provide protection against an aggressive environment. It is natural that all the desired requirements cannot be realized in one material, which is not always necessary if you carefully analyze the specifics of the profession.

Twill

Twill is able to withstand high and low temperatures and their sudden changes. This fabric provides good air exchange, does not accumulate static electricity, and is easy to care for. Twill fabrics have a characteristic relief on the front surface. It can contain both natural and synthetic fibers. The material is different:

• excellent thermoregulation - warms in the cold and cools in the heat;
• comfortable aeration – does not create a greenhouse effect when worn;
• hypoallergenic – does not cause irritation even with direct contact with skin;
• accepts various impregnations well - becomes impervious to chemical and oil stains or acquires water-repellent properties;
• hygroscopicity - quickly absorbs moisture and evaporates it to the surface;
• performance properties - does not wrinkle, does not fade, retains color, does not absorb odors, dries quickly, does not form pills.

The only drawback of twill fabric is the slight shrinkage of some products after washing.

Moleskin

Moleskine is suitable for use indoors where there are a large number of small particles in the air - the material does not allow even the smallest specks of dust to pass through. This is a fabric with super-dense weaving, thanks to which it acquires special performance qualities:

• strength and high wear resistance;
• easy removal of contaminants of various origins;
• convenience and comfort when wearing;
• no greenhouse effect, moisture accumulation, static electricity.

Some disadvantages include increased flowability (formation of fringes).

Cloth

The cloth will protect a person from splashes of hot metal, but it is very difficult to call it comfortable and pleasant to the body. Positive properties include:

• do not shift when cutting;
• cut well and do not crumble on cuts;
• easy to iron.

Clothes made from cloth wrinkle more often during use, some items may shrink, and such fabric cannot be washed in the usual way. It should be borne in mind that in its usual form, any fabrics from which workwear is made do not always provide optimal protection; in most cases, special coatings and impregnations are used to ensure the necessary qualities.

Cotton base of comfort

FAS fabric in denim style - New for Russia, popular in Europe

A striking representative of the material made from 100% natural cotton used for sewing workwear is FAS fabric, a leader in Europe. In texture and appearance, this fabric resembles denim, has an increased density, but at the same time, like all cotton products, it does not have any obstacles to the penetration of air under clothing for heat exchange. Many cotton fabrics, including FAS, have one minor drawback - the low resistance of the fibers to mechanical stress and damage. Although due to the very high density (320-380g/m2) of this material, this small drawback actually becomes insignificant. The fabric is used for sewing comfortable workwear with an increased service life, which is no less important and rightfully deserves special attention from the consumer. It is especially good in the warm season and for enterprises where the room temperature, although not too high, is sufficient to experience the discomfort and inconvenience that occurs when wearing synthetic clothing or clothing made from mixed types of fabrics, where artificial materials predominate. That is why, for these conditions, there is no better option than FAS

As for the increased temperature when washing clothes made from this type of fabric, we can say with confidence that the high temperature will not affect the quality of the product or its long-lasting color, and the fabric itself will retain its original appearance for as long as possible.

Fabric characteristics:

The fabric is recommended for sewing special clothing according to GOST:

Scandinavian workwear summer collection, almost all made from this type of material. Look and draw your own conclusions, the clothes are sewn and look impeccable. Moreover, the popular classic “Casual” denim style emphasizes her individuality.

Natural materials

As a rule, natural fibers are used for sewing clothes that are worn directly on the body: trousers and blouses, clothes for cooks, waiters, massage therapists, etc. The most pleasant to the touch will be calico (142 g/m2) - cotton fabric with a fine weave of threads.

For work associated with increased physical activity, twill is used - cotton fabric with a high-density weave (260 g/m2). Twill protects against mechanical damage, is wear-resistant and holds its shape well.

Cotton tarpaulins are used to make welding suits and clothing for metallurgists. The canvas is treated with a fire-resistant agent and acid-alkali-resistant impregnation, which makes it resistant not only to high temperatures, but also to chemical reagents.

FAS material looks like denim, but is much denser and more durable. The fabric has antistatic properties and meets the highest dust resistance class. Clothing made from this fabric is an excellent option for the mining industry, woodworking, and cement factories.

Why do work clothes need breathing?

There is no normal heat exchange - there are no comfortable conditions for performing work. That is why workwear requires “fresh breath”, or rather, breathability, hygroscopicity, vapor permeability - indicators that increase the worker’s ability to most successfully perform his functional duties or, simply, to work normally. And if the fabric used for the production of special clothing does not meet these indicators (by the way! provided for by GOSTs and technical specifications), then the product itself is unlikely to contribute to the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to it.

Stretchtex

Stretchtex is one of the new sports representatives of modern cotton fabrics with a small addition of spandex, which provides a full stretch effect. Having all the main characteristics of cotton fabric, stretchtex can be classified as a highly hygienic material - heat transfer and breathability are at the highest level, and at the same time excellent stretchability, which allows you to significantly expand the range and range of applications of fabric products, as well as significantly improve wearing comfort. .

Thanks to its special finishing, Stretchtex is much more pleasant to the touch and softer than other materials, which allows it to be successfully used as the basis for summer collections.

Now workwear can also contain “elastic” fabrics, which we are already accustomed to in everyday clothing.

With long-term use, Stretchtex does not provoke irritation or allergic reactions, and high-quality cotton fiber makes products made from it light, durable and abrasion-resistant.

On our website, Workwear for Professionals Stretchtex is presented in products of comfortable clothing for work from the SPEC Avangard collection.

Main characteristics of the fabric:

Synthetics

The most common synthetic fabrics are nylon and Oxford. The materials perfectly protect against snow and rain, wind, dust and dirt. Most often they are used to make raincoats and jackets. Soft and pleasant to the touch fleece or faux fur is used as insulation.

Features of materials for workwear

Material for workwear must meet the following requirements:

• high degree of comfort;
• hypoallergenic;
• protection from negative external factors;
• aesthetics.

It is important that the overalls help to perform work duties; for this purpose, the models are equipped with a large number of pockets and carabiners. For outdoor work, there are options with detachable hoods and high stand-up collars. The fasteners are usually covered with wind flaps, which prevent precipitation from getting under the protective clothing.

Summary table of fabrics for sewing workwear

The SWG company is engaged in tailoring custom-made uniforms for any field of activity. We take into account the characteristics of the material for workwear and select the highest quality and durable fittings. You can see the detailed characteristics of the materials in the table below.

What is stretch effect?

If you wear jeans and go to dance floors, then you probably enjoy clothes that have the ability to stretch. Convenient - isn't it? But if you still have to move a lot at work, then you probably experienced discomfort from wearing standard “harsh” work clothes. Now this problem has been successfully solved for workwear as well. The Avangard Workwear collection, Cherva Olza will allow you to do your work with extensible pleasure!

The ability of workwear using Elastane to instantly restore its shape reduces the gap between it and fashion trend products, and makes it three times more attractive:

Comfort + Protection + Image = Good mood and successful completion of work tasks

We listed the new items , but the classics of the genre make up a whole host of material options and endless fabric horizons

In addition to new and popular cotton fabrics and cotton fabrics with additional artificial fibers, to increase the technical characteristics of the material and extend its service life, a number of natural classic fabrics are used, which are often used for production purposes for various needs.

Lindström provides maintenance (industrial washing), repair or replacement of clothing when it is unusable.

Fabrics of natural origin

Calico is a fabric that is widely used in textiles; even bed linen, for the most part, is made from this material, so each of us knows what it looks like and feels like. Calico is a natural textile product made from 100% cotton.

Calico perfectly absorbs moisture, has high breathability and is considered a good hygienic and highly environmentally friendly material. Among the disadvantages of the fabric is a relatively high percentage of shrinkage of products during washing, especially the initial one (the indicator depends primarily on the surface density and quality of finishing of the material), as well as the presence of the “corrugated paper” effect, especially in places of constant folds and after water treatment.

Specifications:

In workwear it is still used for the manufacture of signal vests, work coats and other lightweight products in the range.

Gauze

A very thin (discharged) fabric resembling a net in appearance due to the low density of the threads. This is why the fabric appears transparent. Gauze has high hygienic and hygroscopic properties, does not require special care, and is easy to wash. Contains natural cotton fibers. Used as a lining intermediate material and for technical purposes.

Specifications:

Twill

Twill refers to two types of fabric, natural and mixed, as well as two types - garter and diagonal. Twill is a dense fabric with increased resistance to mechanical stress, strong and durable, plastic and shape-resistant, made from high-number cotton yarn. Strength characteristics are ensured due to the special weave of the threads that make up the material. The secret is that the yarn fibers are not just tightly connected to each other, but twisted together. The result is a thread that looks like a miniature rope. In addition to strength, twill has good breathability, hygroscopicity and antistatic properties. With the addition of artificial polyester fibers, air exchange rates are reduced, but wear resistance and tear characteristics increase.

Specifications:

Moleskin

Moleskine is a type of high-fiber cotton fabric with characteristics that provide protection against the smallest particles of dust and other pollutants. The material has a smooth surface, which is why small particles arising during production activities, chips, dust, metal particles, scale, actually roll off it. Moleskin, impregnated with a special solution, not only does not allow pollutants to linger, but also provides a certain degree of protection from exposure to elevated temperatures. White moleskine is used in the manufacture of clothing for work in areas of high radiation.

Specifications:

Shawl fabric

The fabric has a very dense plain weave of threads, which has excellent properties of not allowing water particles to pass through. After applying impregnation to increase the water-repellent characteristics, the garter fabric becomes the basis for the manufacture of waterproof and water-repellent clothing for special purposes. It is not for nothing that the material is associated with the Tent; before the advent of the younger, improved generation, it served for quite a long time, regularly and faithfully for protection from wind, rain and snow, being a kind of industry leader.

Considering that the fabric is based on cotton fibers, the fabric is comfortable to wear, breathes well, and also has very high strength characteristics.

Fabric description:

Cloth

Cloth is a natural fabric, but to increase its service life, artificial polyamide fibers are added to the composition of the material. The fabric is mainly used for the manufacture of workwear for metallurgists and welders (with fire-resistant impregnation). When acid-alkali-resistant impregnation is applied to the base of the fabric, cloth clothing serves as reliable protection against the destructive effects of acids and alkalis.

Specifications:

Tarpaulin

Another fairly common name for tarpaulin is canvas. Very dense fabric with very high strength characteristics. In places where there is an increased risk of fire or damage to fabrics from splashes of molten metal or sparks, it is necessary to use a suit made entirely of canvas or with stripes made of canvas on the front of the product. To increase the protective properties, the fabric is impregnated with a fire-resistant substance.

Canvas has a long history: it has been used for quite a long time to make waterproof clothing for sailors, fishermen, uniforms, and today its main use is clothing for welders and mittens.

INSULATIONS

FIRESTOP

The OGNESTOP insulation will not become a source of ignition for the suit, since it does not support combustion and smoldering due to the use of fire-resistant polyester fibers (EN 14116 index 1), which are preserved after numerous washes throughout the entire service life of the product. When using OGNESTOP insulation, winter clothes will retain their excellent appearance thanks to reliable thermal bonding technology and the absence of fiber migration inside the insulation. Composition: 100% Polyester. Surface density: 150 g/m2.

BATTING

Batting is a representative of non-woven fabrics. It is considered the most “ancient” and previously widespread insulation. The raw materials used are recycled cotton and synthetic fibers, which are combed using special equipment. For the production of workwear, TRAKT uses canvas batting. It is formed by zigzag quilting along the entire length of cotton or polyester threads of canvas, formed by carding and feeding using a spreader and conveyor to the head. Composition: 70% cotton, 30% polyester. Surface density: 250 g/m2.

SINTEPON

In the production of TRACT workwear, thermally bonded padding polyester made from 100% polyester whole virgin fibers is used. This synthetic padding polyester has excellent heat-protective properties and does not lose quality as a result of being crushed or washed, remaining voluminous and elastic. To prevent migration of fibers to the surface of fabrics, both sides of the padding polyester are calendered. Composition: 100% polyester. Surface density: 120 g/m2

SHELTER

Shelter brand insulation is a thermally bonded high-volume non-woven material. “Shelter” got its name from the English word “Shelter” - a reliable shelter. Produced in Podolsk, Moscow region. Thin hollow polyester fiber in the form of a spiral and thermally bonded microfiber are used as raw materials. Such fibers retain more air between layers of clothing and more effectively return radiated heat to the body than conventional padding polyester, i.e. have better thermal insulation. Shelter is environmentally friendly, does not cause allergies, has a uniform structure and reduced fiber migration. Composition: 100% polyester. Surface density: 100 g/m2; 150 g/m sq.

MIRATEK "PREMIUM"

Miratek "PREMIUM" is a thermally bonded fabric consisting of polyester fibers, duplicated on both sides with spunbond using the stitching method (fabric reinforcement). The insulation uses siliconized fiber, so the insulation does not clump or cake. It retains heat perfectly and prevents moisture penetration. Reinforcement of the fabric on both sides prevents fiber migration to the surface and allows the insulation to withstand high tensile loads. Recommended for the production of clothing used in the most adverse weather conditions. Composition: 100% polyester. Surface density: 100 g/m2; 150 g/m sq.

SLITEX NORD

SLITEX NORD is a new generation of high-tech insulation. Thanks to the springy structure of thin, highly crimped fiber, as well as the high content of hollow fibers in the composition, NORD has high heat-shielding properties, bulkiness and light weight, and quickly restores its original shape after compression. Used in special clothing to protect against low temperatures. Composition: 100% polyester. Surface density: 100 g/m2; 200 g/m sq.

ALASKA-Premium

ALASKA-Premium insulation is a mixture of hollow, highly crimped micro and hollow, highly crimped siliconized polyester fibers. Produced in Novosibirsk on modern European lines. Siliconized fibers make the material elastic and allow it to recover well after compression. To increase the heat-shielding properties, highly crimped hollow microfibers are added to the material. The presence of heat treatment of the surface (calendering) prevents the migration of Alaska-Premium insulation fibers to the surface of finished products. Composition: 100% Polyester Surface density: 150 g/m kV

ALPOLUX

Alpolux insulation was developed in Austria specifically for the Russian climate. Based on centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge technologies, Austrian experts have created insulation that combines high-quality microfiber (primary raw materials) and merino wool (natural wool). Alpolux is lightness, warmth, environmental friendliness, high reliability. Insulation surfaces calendered on both sides minimize fiber migration. Manufactured in Russia, in the city of Klin, Moscow region. Composition: 95% Polyester, 5% merino wool Surface density: 100 g/m kW; 150g/m sq.

TINSULATE

Thinsulate® is a new generation of insulation produced by the famous American company 3M. This material combines the invaluable experience of nature with the latest achievements of microfiber production technology. Thinsulate® insulation holds air molecules between the human body and the environment. The more air molecules the insulation holds in one cubic centimeter, the better its thermal insulation properties. Since the microfibers of Thinsulate® insulation are much thinner than the fibers of other synthetic insulation, they hold more air in a smaller volume. It provides the highest degree of protection from the cold, even a thin layer of this microfiber insulation has amazing thermal insulating properties, combined with durability and ease of care. Composition: 100% polyester Surface density: 100 g/m2, 150 g/m2

Fabrics made from mixed raw fibers

Mixed fabrics retain their color and original shape longer, shrink less, and, as a rule, have greater resistance to stains, which can be washed with less effort. Considering these advantages, most employers focus on clothes made from a “blend”, and the prices, given the percentage of cotton in them, are lower than 100% natural.

Greta

A distinctive feature of this fabric is that on the reverse side of the fabric, close to the body, cotton fibers predominate, which allow for air exchange and create comfortable wearing conditions. But on the front side, which is constantly being tested by related production products, there is synthetic fiber - polyester. This effect is achieved thanks to a special weave of threads. The result is a fabric that is resistant to stains and at the same time provides fairly comfortable conditions for the worker. Thanks to its water-repellent finish, the fabric is used as an outer material for both summer and winter economy class workwear. The fairly low cost allows you to significantly reduce the price of finished products made from this material.

Main characteristics: Composition: 35 - 54% cotton, 65 - 46% polyester. Surface density: 234 g/m2. Final finishing: VO, MVO, K20.

TI-SI

The fabric is made from cotton yarn with the addition of polyester. The structure of the yarn is twisted, does not have loose fibers and villi, which during operation form “pellets” on the surface of the product. Most often, T-C fabric is used to make uniforms for medical workers, workers in scientific laboratories and research centers. Available in different densities, it has a high efficiency, is resistant to dirt and mechanical stress. Keeps its shape well and does not wrinkle. Water-repellent finishing and special impregnations for medical use are used.

SISU

Despite the fact that SISU is a relatively thin fabric, its wear resistance and service life are quite long. The material withstands intense loads, including repeated washings. This strength is ensured by the way the weft and weft threads are intertwined. The input is high-number yarn made from the finest polyester and cotton threads, tightly woven; the output is a thin, lightweight fabric that is at the same time durable and stain-resistant. Thanks to these properties, SISU has found wide application for the manufacture of clothing for trade and service workers, medical institutions and research centers.

Fabric characteristics: Composition: 23% cotton, 77% polyethylene. Surface density: 139 g/m2. Protective properties: from hazardous pollutants, dust and blood (fabrics with additional impregnation).

Diagonal

The fabric received this name due to its textured appearance, where the diagonal ribbed pattern is very clearly visible. Diagonal fabric is divided into two types - cotton and mixed. Really durable fabric with high stain-resistant properties. Recommended for sewing special clothing against general industrial pollution. At one time, it was one of the main materials for sewing summer workwear: work suits, diagonal robes, and even everyone’s favorite “Tedlo jacket” had a top made of this material.

Fabric characteristics:

"Rip-Stop"

This fabric received such an original name due to its ability not to enlarge the damaged area. In case of rupture or puncture, damage directly affecting the integrity of the fabric, further separation of the thread fibers does not occur; this effect is provided by thin reinforced threads in the fabric weave. Possessing high strength properties, the fabric has good breathability and hygroscopicity. In addition, the fabric holds its shape quite well and has an original appearance. Thanks to the water-repellent finish, it is mainly used as an outer material for the manufacture of: winter workwear - insulated jackets and suits for protection against industrial pollution in low temperatures.

Specifications:

Tomboy

This fabric is another prominent representative of English industrial fabrics. Tomboy has all the basic qualities that people pay most attention to when choosing workwear, and is also impregnated with a moisture-proof substance. In addition to high strength and increased service life, the fabric is impregnated with a substance that prevents the fabric from deforming and leaving wrinkled areas after washing. The fabric remains smooth and even, as if it had just been ironed. Repeated washing, even at high temperatures, does not affect the color or appearance of the fabric, which allows it to retain its original properties longer. The fabric is used both for the manufacture of corporate clothing and workwear for working personnel in various industries.

Specifications:

Alba-2

Alba-2 is a frequently used fabric that is valued all over the world, including in Russia. The supplier of this fabric for the manufacture of workwear is UK. A distinctive feature of this fabric is the way the fibers are interwoven, resulting in a strong, durable fabric, but at the same time very light and practical, including the presence of a special impregnation that does not allow the material to wrinkle.

Specifications:

Blended fabrics

Suits for doctors are created from:

• TiSi (120 g/m2), which contains 35% cotton and 65% polyester;
• Sattori (200 g/m2) - cotton 65% and polyester 35%.
• Clothing for housing and communal services workers, construction workers and road workers is made from the following fabrics:
• Greta (220 g/m2). The inner part is made of natural fibers, the outer covering is made of synthetic fibers. Composition: cotton 53% and polyester 47%;
• Diorite (240 g/m2) - cotton 55% and polyester 45%. Doesn't get wet in the rain.

The following fabrics are used for travel equipment and work uniforms for top management:

• Cordura (270 g/m2) – polyamide 90%, cotton 10%. The material has water-repellent properties and is highly resistant to chemicals. The fabric is pleasant to the body and practically does not wrinkle. Cordura is used to make reinforced linings for areas prone to abrasion.
• Panama Stretch (270 g/m2) - cotton 60%, polyester 40%. Durable “breathable” material, fits perfectly, does not form pills, holds its shape well and does not stretch. The fabric quickly removes moisture from the body, so it is often used for sewing sportswear.

Synthetic fiber fabrics

In most cases, unless of course you count those where work clothes play the role of a uniform, and protective properties are a secondary matter, artificial fabrics made from synthetic fibers are not fully used for sewing workwear. Although the finished product made from synthetics is durable, long-term wear causes irritation on the skin, and the reduced fire and heat resistance of such fabrics precludes wearing such clothing near areas of high temperature. But at the same time, synthetic fabrics are used as additions to individual items of clothing. Basically, these fabrics are good because of their elasticity and durability, so you should not exclude them from use in the manufacture of work clothes.

Absolutely all artificial fabrics are easy to wash and dry quickly, since their fibers consist of an ultra-thin thread, similar to fishing line, only many times thinner. Thanks to this, the dirt practically “slides off”, and moisture, rolling down the fibers, very quickly makes the product dry.

Types of workwear

All special clothing according to its intended purpose can be divided into two categories: corporate and protective. The purpose of a corporate uniform is to use corporate symbols, color combinations, and a certain style to indicate that an employee belongs to a particular field of activity. Such clothes are sewn for administrators, waiters, flight attendants, bank employees and representatives of many other professions.

Protective clothing protects a person from exposure to external factors.

• Gowns and suits, hats and protective bandages for medical workers should be made of lightweight material that can be washed frequently.
• For people working in dimly lit areas, clothing should contain reflective elements.
• Overalls that protect against temperature fluctuations and external influences must repel dirt and chemicals and protect against overheating and freezing.

What do membrane materials provide?

The main property of membrane materials is one-way conductivity. In fabrics recommended for use in workwear, this property is used to ensure heat transfer. The membrane copes well with air exchange, creating a comfortable environment inside the product, and its outer surface provides protection from wind, moisture, precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Membrane materials have found wide application in the production of sportswear, waterproof clothing, and now also successfully confirm their excellent properties as work clothing.

PROTECTION + SAFETY

Protective materials for work with high safety risks

Responsible work with a high degree of risk requires an appropriate degree of protection. Ordinary special clothing fabric is not always suitable for making clothing, especially for professions whose working conditions are associated with increased health risks, so there is a need to strengthen it or create a new material…. Steelworkers, firefighters, chemical plant workers and many other professions require a high degree of protection. The main thing everyone thinks about when using clothing made from special material is safety.

All of the following fabrics can guarantee safety:

Thermoshield

Work clothes made for glaziers and metallurgists are made from this fabric. In addition to the density of the fabric itself, the product has a thin aluminized coating that can reflect thermal rays, as a result, the directed energy is not retained and does not affect the fabric itself, and accordingly the person, but when reflected, it reduces the thermal effect significantly.

3111- Proban

High-quality material, with very high fire-resistant properties, which is ensured by a special patented material manufacturing technology. In addition to resistance to fire and high temperatures, it does not allow dirt to accumulate on the surface of the product, and also does not lose its shape and properties after repeated cleaning - washing, dry cleaning.

Indura Ultra Soft

This fabric can be considered a new stage in the evolution of Indura fabric, because it has all its properties, only increased several times. The increase in fire-resistant properties allows you to remain under a directed fire jet for a short time without harm to health.

Indestructible

For those who want to get clothes not only from high-quality material with high protective properties, but also beautiful stylish clothes with a wide color spectrum - this fabric is simply an ideal option. The manufacturer not only presents high-quality mixed fabric, using twill weave as the basis for production, but also offers you finished products made from it: a collection of workwear that meets all Russian regulatory and corporate requirements, as well as international CE standards.

Superbandmaster

Unlike the previous fabric sample, this fabric is a little lighter, but does not lose its properties. Due to its lightness and excellent fire resistance, wear resistance and high anti-dirt effect, this fabric is often used for sewing women's workwear, although the manufacture of workwear for men is also possible.

Foreman

Today this material has few competitors, which is why for many years this fabric has occupied a leading position among protective materials with high resistance to damage and chemical attack (withstands acid concentration of 60%, as well as high tensile loads). The fabric is able to protect from fire, high and low temperatures, water, snow, wind, and also does not lose shape and color after repeated washing; an additional advantage is that it contains cotton, which ensures air exchange and breathing.

Flameshield 400

This is a completely revolutionary natural fabric, which not only has all the qualities of natural fabric, it is also many times higher than the quality of tarpaulin. Having a lightweight fabric density, Flameshield 400 is suitable for sewing suits and individual items of clothing for women, without restricting movement due to the weight of the suit. Impregnations applied using Proban® technology can not only protect a person wearing a protective suit, but also the fabric itself from damage, which increases not only its service life, but also the preservation of its appearance.

Functions of fabrics for workwear

Why do you need a form, and what functionality does it have? First of all, clothing should provide comfortable and safe working conditions. Let's take a closer look at the protective functions using the example of work in various areas.

1. Welders. To protect against fire, scale and hot metal, clothing is equipped with reinforced linings treated with fire-resistant impregnation. The elements are placed in the chest area and on the shoulders. In addition to jackets and overalls, welders can use protective aprons that cover the entire length of the body.
2. Builders and loaders. The overalls should protect against mechanical damage, as well as prevent contact with the skin of petroleum products, construction mixtures and reagents that are used in this area. Much attention is paid to shoes. Metal toe caps and anti-puncture insoles prevent injury if a worker drops a heavy object on their foot or steps on a sharp object.
3. Medical staff. In medical institutions and laboratories, workers must be protected from acids, alkalis and biological materials. The material for workwear is impregnated with an oil- and water-repellent agent.
4. Road workers, couriers. The main danger for them is transport, so road workers and couriers are required to wear uniforms with reflective elements. The ratio of reflective parts in relation to the background fabric depends on the hazard class.

Workwear not only has protective properties, but also supports the company’s image. Employees who wear uniforms with the company logo create a good impression of the organization and increase customer loyalty.

What is PROBAN ®?

PROBAN® is a unique flame retardant created within the walls of a research laboratory. Not only the composition of the substance, which is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the cotton fabric, is unique, but also the method and the entire technical process, from the manufacture of the inhibitor to the method of distribution over the fabric. Fabrics with Proban impregnation first appeared on the textile market of special fabrics half a century ago. The fabric almost instantly gained popularity and soon the company, the manufacturer and developer of the composition of the substance, patented its discovery. A distinctive feature of Proban, which, after being applied to fabric, penetrates deep into the fibers of the fabric and, when solidified, forms a protective barrier for many pollutants, is, of course, protection from fire exposure. When the proban layer dries, it makes the fabric a little stiffer and changes many of its properties and features, but most importantly, the proban layer does not “take away” its “breathing” properties from cotton, leaving the fabric as hygienic as before treatment. Protective properties increase, resistance to mechanical stress, including frequent washing and dry cleaning, increases.
