Modular Protection When designing their products, Confec- ciones Gala tries always to reconcile two basic needs of workers who perform their activities in extreme conditions, with important protection requirements: - Provide maximum protection to safe- guard their health and safety. - Provide clothing ergonomically designed to ensure the comfort and freedom of movement to comfortably run the job. Under these postulations, and following the concept of modular protection (layers system), Confecciones Gala has created a Fire Retardant Protective Clothing line to cover new market niches in the field of protection. The modular protection comprises: - A first layer of underwear, in contact with the body, keeping it dry and protected. - An intermediate layer of insulation to delay the arrival of heat or cold to the body. - An outer layer that protects against direct heat reservoir. The modular protection increases or decreases the number of layers depending on the level of risk. Confecciones Gala has used fabrics as Protex, Proban, Marlan, Marko, Nomex or Soft Shell in its new line of flame retardant clothing. “The fire retardant clothing involves a spe- cialization to offer specific solutions. More- over, we are also making an effort on the cer- tification of eminently technical products with accent placed on internationalization”, quotes a spokesman for Confecciones Gala. The supply of the fireproof clothing line con- sists, among other garments, of: Protex underwear and Protex antistatic (First Layer), jackets, overalls, shirts, polo ... from Proban, Marko, Marlan (Second Layer), and vests, jackets and parkas (Third Layer). Upon clients’ request, Confec- ciones Gala can customize gar- ments with vari- ous accessories: reflective tapes, cor- porate colors, other apparel details of cloth- ing and even screen printing or embroidery. Liliana Díez Suárez, manager of the com- pany, invites the industry to visit their website (www.confec- cionesgala.com) to keep in touch with the assortment and “to solve any need that they may arise in relation to technical clothing”. 107
