2oTrimestre15 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 83 Updated Products Esdepunt A leading name in woven fabric multi-standard clothes Esdepunt’s footprint is very large in the sector of industrial supplies and major hardware chains, because it markets products specifically designed to meet market needs. The company’s Tanit brand comprises protective items for the winter and sum- mer seasons, including clothes protecting against the cold or the elements. These technical products were formerly market- ed only to companies force to offer employees protective equipment comply- ing with European standards, but this has changed, for more and more compa- nies choose them for the qualities and properties that ensure proper protection for their staff. Tanit is a leading name in technical fabrics Today, Tanit is known as a specialized name in technical fabrics, with specific properties: antistatic, flame retardant, UV protective, high breathability, thermal insulation, etc. As the fibres are a part of the fabric properties are inherent and permanent, unaffected by washing, as opposed to finishing treatments. For thermal insulation, fibres include CoolmaxTM, ThermocoolTM or ThermoliteTM technologies. Multi-standard range of products expands Among the most widely sold products by the Tanit brand we find those with multi- ple properties, like the flame retardant- antistatic, electric art or hi-visibility clothes. Esdepunt innovates with an eye on industries or activities that require effec- tive protection against flames caused by combustible materials due to electric arc, as happens in various sectors: gas, petro- chemical, gas stations, etc. And in addi- tion, people need to be visible in dimly lit situations. Multi-standard clothes will protect them against multiple hazards. Firstly, because the electrostatic build-up of the human body is avoided to the point it will never produce a spark, and in the second place because if there is brief contact with flames, flame-retar- dant fabrics are effectively protecting the person. Tanit has added two more prop- erties to flame-retardant and antistatic clothes: protection against electric arc, and certified high visibility, which turns multi-standard clothes into indispens- able equipment in most industry sectors. Multi-standard clothes by Tanit are certi- fied to EN ISO 13688 (general), EN 11612/2008 (protection against flames), EN 1149-3/04, EN 1149-5:2008 (antistat- ic), EN 61482 (electric arc) and EN ISO 20471 (high visibility) and classified as Category III according to R. D. 1407/92. Design is very important The industrial and servicing sectors make up the major groups in the brand’s consumer portfolio, but there is more: Police, Firefighters, Civil Protection and other governmental agencies. This means image matters, and the recently pub- lished catalogues by Esdepunt for the Police and Civil Protection sectors reflect the company is aware of their needs, for there are many styles, colours, materials and accessories available. The corporate image of a company is also important, which is why Tanit offers clients multiple choices, with a number of design polo styles, conceived to help them reflect their identity through combi- nations in colour, pocket styles, collars, etc. Esdepunt is a UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2000 certified company recognized by ENAC and registered with Aliter Trade Qualitas. In order to maintain this certificate the company sets in place strict control procedures, always working to improve in several areas: design, cut and style, production, quality, distribution and management. 67
