3oTrimestre15 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 84 Updated products Safetop: new 100% cotton working clothes Safetop has introduced an innovative range of 100% cotton workwear, designed and manufactured for professionals seek- ing the advantages of cotton: soft, natural and breathable, comfortable, hypoaller- genic and not causing itching to the skin. It is all natural and does not contain any chemicals. Highly breathable, it allows air circulation; preventing fungi grow in dark, moist environments. It can hold up to five times its weight in water before it is saturated. Cotton is also suitable for work- ing in hot environments because it allows perspiration from the skin and is highly resistant to temperature. This makes it ideal for welding, locksmith, etc. It is strong, durable and resistant to abrasion. Lugo and Lemos The new clothes Lugo and Lemos meet all these requirements, and also offer other added values, such as: -Anti-pilling treatment in the manufactur- ing process (anti-pellets), which prevents the fibers to get separated from each other and form lumps in the product surface, thereby greater resistance to washing and wear is achieved. -The Seams are reinforced at the points of greatest wear to increase durability of the garment. -They’re sewn with high strength GSM 265 Oxford® cotton fabric, which gives extra protection to the garments in the moments of greatest tension. The Oxford® fabric is a geometric woven with equal number of vertical and horizontal threads. Very light, soft, breathable and extra wear resistant, it remains unaltered even after multiple uses and washings. -They offer high comfort thanks to the soft fabric on contact with skin. The treatment of the piece confers an unrivaled softness. -They’re easy to care for, fully washable by hand or machine and can withstand many washing cycles in hot water, which extends the life of the garment and reduces long-term cost. The Lugo jacket (Ref. 25011-05) is a high- necked garment with internal protection to avoid any disturbance to the user, pre- venting the metal zipper to touch the skin. Equipped with a Velcro for greater fasten- ing and protection, which prevents foreign objects, sparks or dust from entering; bel- lows and flap pockets. The Lemos trousers (Ref. 25012-05) fea- tures reinforcing loops at the waist, with elastic, to better accommodate the body. It includes tool-holder loop in one side pocket and folds at the knee to make flexion easi- er. It also incorporates kneepads in Cordu- ra® fabric. This label indicates that the garment withstands a minimum of 3,000 sandpaper rubs without breaking. It is twice better than nylon, three times better than polyester and ten times better than cotton. Undoubtedly, the main benefit of Cordura® brand fabrics is that they offer the best durability in its class, so that they exceed the lifetime of any comparable fab- ric. When conventional materials have a used and worn aspect, Cordura retains its look and feel of soft comfort. No matter the application, the Cordura fabric offers exceptional strength to weight ratio, mak- ing it the first choice for durable fabrics. It is the perfect fabric for any type of activity: has excellent resistance to abrasion, tensile forces, tear and wear in all weather.
