Updated products PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 85 | 4oTrimestre15 Esdepunt Technics The most comfortable protection In Spain there are only a few companies carrying out every stage of the process of producing woven textile clothes, from buying the threads and fibers, weaving, dyeing, cutting and sewing. This is true of Esdepunt Technics and its Tanit brand, making protective workwear: flame resistant, antistatic, electric arc, etc. starting from the very soul of sweaters, polos, jackets, trousers, coveralls, polar fleece clothes. And properties are inherent to clothes, not the result of treatments. Even so, as per clients’ request, the company can also add treatments like stain-resistance, among others. Tanit workwear offers quality properties and well-studied design, so clothes may be worn outside of the workplace and you will still look great. Multi-standard products guarantee safety in the workplace About 17 to 20% is the share of technical workwear in our country, while in Germany and other European countries, it reaches 40 and even 70% as in Finland. There are more and more industries and job descriptions requiring efficient protection against flames, in workplaces such as gas stations, petrochemicals, etc. where a spark might cause a fire. The flame-retardant and antistatic workwear products are designed to protect workers in these situations, primarily by avoiding electrostatic buildup and thus, eliminating the risk of sparks. But also because, even in contact with flames, the fabric is flame-retardant and protects against major injuries. Protection against UVA rays is also important, and increasingly required by those working out of doors. Woven clothes protecting against all hazards These are flame- retardant+antistatic+electric arc protection coveralls complying with R.D. 1407/92, EN 340/03, EN 11612/2008, EN 1149-3/04, EN 1149-5:2008 and EN 61482 standards classified as Category III in accordance to R.D. 1407/92. The granite fabric mix is modacrylic/cotton/antistatic, weighing an average 250 gr/sq.mt. Tanit also expanded the hi-visibility segment with flame- retardant+antistatic+electric arc protection polos and T-shirts, covering most of the possible hazards and complying with EN ISO 20471 (hi-vis protection) standards, and classified as Category III by R. D. 1407/92. Cut protection range is expanded Esdepunt Technics carries out research work to expand its Tanit cut protection range, with new models and improved properties. This product line is singular in that styles are developed in accordance to job descriptions. The new products address people exposed to hazards involving cuts, as in glass factories, slaughterhouses, those handling glass and metal, prison wardens, security guards, etc. The Level 5 cut-protective product range offers superior guarantees. For forestry workers there are also new protective products conceived for safety when handling or operating machine saws, axes, knives and shears. The brand also designs aprons, with or without bibs, for people working in slaughterhouses or handling glass and metal sheets. 70
