4oTrimestre15 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 85 Updated products Showa offers products innovative, safe and with a broad use spectrum Showa builds innovative solutions, efficient and durable, thanks to its corporate philosophy of investing in investigation and development to offer the market the most advanced gloves, that the company showed at A+A 2015. S-TEX® 376, cut protection range It benefits from the technology of the Hagane Coil® fiber, which grants models excellent protection against cuts (22.4 Newton), combined with comfort and dexterity. S-Tex gloves excel in quality to most cut-resistant gloves on the market in terms of comfort and cut resistance (level 4 of EN 388). The strong Hagane Coil support protects against very sharp objects, while polyester gives the glove a very comfortable touch. The design eases movement and continuous use, partly due to the back breathable, which favors the body thermo- regulation. Some outstanding benefits are noteworthy: -Excellent cut protection performance combined with long lasting grip -Excellent cut resistance performance: ISO 13997: 22.4 Newton. -Doubled nitrile coating technology provides high abrasion resistance EN 388:4. -Hands protection from oils, hydrocarbons, grease, with long lasting grip performance under wet and oily conditions. -Low marking finger print. -High mechanical resistance to abrasion and tear. -Ergonomically designed hand mould replicates the natural curvature of the human hand and thus reduces hand fatigue, increasing productivity and dexterity. -Seamless knitting gives no irritation. Showa 306, ideal for outdoor work In times of dry weather and high temperatures, the hands sweat inside the gloves and perspiration gets accumulated. In cold and wet seasons, users wear gloves with integral lining to keep hands clean, dry and warm. This involves that different gloves should be used depending on the weather and the outdoor conditions, so that for the same use might be needed two different types of gloves, and therefore it would be necessary to purchase 2 pairs, or wearing unsuitable gloves in cold or heat season. From this fact, Showa has created a glove designed as the ideal partner for outdoor work, the model 306 with dual latex coating technology. It is a revolutionary combination of latex foam reinforced with a latex coating on the palm, making this glove the alternative for protection of workers with a single pair of gloves in any season. Among its strengths are noteworthy: -Lining in nylon / polyester. -Polymeric coating. Consisting of latex foam reinforced with a latex layer. This coating technology (gauge 13), revolutionary in design, improves palm’s grip, ensuring the conditions of breathability and impermeability. -The anatomical shaping of the design and the use of a seamless fabric increase the comfort of use. This multi-purpose solution for outdoor conditions entails many advantages: -Honeycombed latex foam that promotes breathability while reducing sweating. -Impermeability protects against the liquid permeation. -The latex coating provides optimal grip and high abrasion resistance. -Great comfort and perfect fit due to the anatomical design technology of Showa. -High flexibility result due to its advanced design coating. -Ergonomic shape with molds which reproduce the natural bending of the human hand and thus reducing its fatigue. -Irritations caused by seams in contact with skin are avoided. The Japanese manufacturer distributes in Spain and Portugal through the commercial network of Tomás Bodero, Spanish producer of gloves, with 100% autochthonous capital, specializing in the development of advanced solutions for hand protection. 87
