2oTrimestre16 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 87 Updated products Esdepunt Technics: “Buying ahead of the hot season means saving money” The company’s special summer products stand out for their innovation and advanced design. For those hot months of the year, the company’s Tanit brand comprises clothes in Dryness® fabric complying with RD 1407/92, EN ISO 13688 and – as an option – EN ISO 20471 for high visibility workwear. The fabric is used for polos, T-shirts and underwear, in plain or two-colour combinations. Dryness® is 100% polyester, ultra light in weight, perfectly fitting because it stretches, and weighing an average 170 gr./sq. mt. The four-lobe section of the fibres means there are always empty capillaries that favour evaporation, so that the skin is kept dry at all times. Moisture will quickly evaporate, evenly distributed, so that the fabric dries immediately in comparison to any other material usually employed for workwear. And the silver ions composing fibres represent permanent protection against bacteria reproduction causing unpleasant odour. This property remains active throughout the lifetime of clothes, even after repeated washing. For those working out of doors in the summer, these special fibres also protect against UVA and UVB radiation (99.9%). Now, security and law-enforcement corps can wear Esdepunt from head to toe This year Esdepunt Technics also focused on security and law- enforcement workwear, such as uniforms for local and national police forces, Mossos d’esquadra, private surveillance agents, civil protection, firefighters and forestry wardens. The company has chosen the very best fabrics available, designing polos, T-shirts, underwear, soft-shell and polar items marketed by the Tanit brand, in addition to all accessories and clothing required: trousers, shoes, boots, stockings, gloves, gun belts, caps, badges, bullet-proof vests...and whatever security and law-enforcement agents might need. Esdepunt Technics guarantees maximum protection, for the company is aware of hazards involved in their job description, so all personal protection equipment items are technologically advanced. Great colour charts and customization services Short-sleeve polos are among the most widely sold items for uniforms during the summer season. Tanit’s collection comprises the most extensive colour chart, so that everyone will find shades matching the corporate image of their business. All styles are updated and trendy, in plain colours and also in six combination choices, so that they will suit classic or advanced business identity visual effects. Clients may also choose stain-repellant and water- repellant treatments for polos. Antibacterial is an additional and most widely requested treatment, because unpleasant odours in clothes are originated in bacterial or fungal reproduction processes, caused by perspiration. The best way to avoid unpleasant odour is to inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms, and this involves either pad-dry cure or nano-capsule technologies in treated fabrics. Both processes will make fabrics remain fresh and cool as they avoid bacterial reproduction. 61
