PGI presents new fabrics in Geneva
16/04/2008
The range includes coated and laminated fabrics with high-barrier properties and finishes to protect workers against fire, dangerous air particulates, toxic chemicals, blood transfer and other hazards. These durable materials have been designed to withstand the toughest jobs, including toxic site clean up, emergency response, clean room and general industrial uses.
The new fabrics range from lightweight polypropylene for general-purpose uses, to higher-performance coated, laminated, and flame retardant (FR) materials.
This includes: Pentamax – five layers of polypropylene to provide a higher barrier against dry particulate and light-liquid spray; PolyBreathe – a highly breathable, composite fabric offering a strong barrier for extremely fine and normal dry particulate, liquid spray and some liquid splash. It serves as a barrier to blood-born pathogens and is virtually lint free; Poly-Safe – designed for splash protection against a variety of toxic and harmful chemicals, a strong two-layer composite fabric serves as a barrier to blood-born pathogens and viral penetration. It is well suited for toxic spills and first responders; and Poly-Bond – designed for general-use applications, this line includes three basis weights and two colors of spunbond polypropylene, PE coated and PE laminated materials.
