Trademarks Aitex Outstanding products to be shown Nanotechnologies Research 2Work4 has developed a range for specialists and professionals demanding security footwear with high reliability as well as performance. Conceived to be light, flexible and comfortable, this footwear combines the ultimate in design with the high quality of materials (3D linings to improve breathability and sweat management, thermoplastic polyurethane outsoles, thermoplastic Vibram or metal-free toecaps and midsoles). Outstanding products to be shown These materials not only increase safety, but also provide important benefits as light weight, breathability, efficiency and comfort. At AITEX, the Research in Nano-Technologies and Technical Fibres Group studies thermoplastic polymers and the numerous advantages that modifica- tion can offer to the textile sector. There are various applications: nano-particles to improve control in releasing fragrances, biocides and fungicides applied to fabrics, as well to prevent the reproduction of bacteria by releasing bacteriostatic agents, or for odour absorption. Company name Alpro. Birkenstock Ortopadie Gmbh Trademarks Alpro Welding screen Outstanding products to be shown Outstanding products to be shown Fit and comfort; both are possible with sandals and clogs in the ProClassic Line. Two materials gently pamper your feet: high quality cork and soft suede leather. They mirror the shape of your foot like a footprint on soft sand, ana- tomically moulded. (Licensed by Birkenstock). The 9100 is the ideal screen for professional welders – a shield with optimised protection, comfort, and performance. The revolutionary design fundamen- tally changes how the welder wears the shield, giving the user the most com- fortable fit available with perfect balance. ProClassic automatically induces a correct posture. Not only are the feet relie- ved, but even the back is more relaxed. Walking becomes more comfortable: the anatomically moulded footbed is light in weight and shock absorbing. The 9100 model is the result of welder comments from all around the world. The new 9100 series features three models that are differentiated by size: the Speedglas 9100V, 9100X and 9100XX have normal, large and extra-large viewing areas, respectively. Company name Adaro Tecnología Trademarks Adalit, Waterjel. Company name Ansell Healthcare Europe NV Trademarks Ansell ProClassic Footwear Adalit Torches Outstanding products to be shown Outstanding products to be shown Ansell introduces a new HyFlex® multipurpose range of gloves with water- based polyurethane. Enhanced user comfort was a high priority. That’s why the gloves are seamless and softer on the skin. They provide excellent breat- hability, not to mention superior fit, dexterity and flexibility. The Adalit range of rechargeable torches has been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding users. Fire fighters, policemen, rescue and emergency services, and refinery and industry workers rely on the features, reliability and endurance of Adalit torches. Using water instead of Dimethylformamide solvent in the production of polyu- rethane gloves increases the safety of workers. Furthermore, it results in much more environmentally friendly manufacturing. Adalit L-2000-L/LB Safety Rechargeable Torch is made with high resistance thermoplastic resin to resist extreme temperatures, fluids and corrosive subs- tances. Suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres: category 2 (zones 1 & 2 for gas; zones 21 & 22 for dust). Water-based polyurethane gloves Company name Advansa Trademarks Coolmax, ThermoCool, Thermolite. Company name Antonio Morón de Blas, S. L. Trademarks Morón ThermoCool® new technology Outstanding products to be shown Outstanding products to be shown Morón has made good use of its extensive know-how in safety footwear to develop non-textile products that improve not only the quality of the product including them, but also overall working conditions for people who wear them. Morón can therefore offer superior added-value solutions. It’s a multi-functional and ecological evolution born from Advansa’s technolo- gical experience of modified cross-section fibres. ThermoCool is a unique blend of fibres with a hollow core along with fibres with a channelled surface, providing benefits beyond what could be expected by just one type of fibre in a single yarn. Oncup® is a breathable, extra-light bidensity plastic toecap developed by the firm. It can withstand shock up to 200 joules, and compression of 15 KN, exceeding the performance of traditional metal toecaps, while being lighter and more breathable. ThermoCool, designed to optimise the body’s natural thermo-regulation, avoids thermal contrasting sensations, offering warmth when you feel cold, and cooling when you feel hot.
