Sioen Professional Protective Clothing - 2016

What is Sio-Safe TM Essential?
Sio-Safe Essential is a flame retardant treated cotton-polyester fabric.
Thanks to the high amount of cotton and a special comfort finish, the fabric
feels very soft and supple on the skin. Sio-Safe Essential is a breathable
fabric with good moisture management properties. It is also non-allergic and
harmless to the skin. The polyester fibers in their turn provide the fabric with
a very good durability. Both on abrasion resistance and tensile strength it
performs very well. You can wash your Sio-Safe Essential clothes without
concern at home, but they are also resistant to industrial laundering. The added
polyester ensures a better resistance to shrinkage and a better colourfastness
in comparison with a pure cotton FR fabric. If the washing instructions are
respected, the flame retardant properties of this fabric remain intact after 50
industrial washes at 75°C. In addition to its excellent FR properties, Sio-Safe
Essential offers an outstanding molten metal splash protection making these
garments perfectly suited for welding activities. Also available in hi-vis colours.
