SAFETY & PROTECTION

The new multifunctional fabric Ultimate by Lauffenmühle sets new standards! It offers reliable protection from thermal effects such as heat and flames, as well as from liquid metal and electric arcing. Moreover, it additionally protects from chemical effects and electrostatic charge – also in high-vis colours available if desired.

The innovative Ultimate fabric was developed specifically for use in petrochemistry, automotive industry, public utility companies, heavy industry and government agencies.

DURABLE & ABRASION RESISTANT

CORDURA is a registered trademark of INVISTA for durable fabrics.

An important component of the new Ultimate fabric range is INVISTA’s CORDURA® brand fabric technology. The fabrics (our Ultimate LFR and Ultimate LFR Startec products) feature exceptional durability proven by outstanding abrasion resistance, with Ultimate fabrics achieving over 150.000 Martindale cycles and excellent colour retention to laundering. This indicates an increase in the wear-life of garments made from Ultimate fabrics featuring CORDURA® fabric technology.

HEAT PROTECTION & FLAME PROTECTION

The new Ultimate fabrics with inherently flame-resistant fibres or special Aflammit finish are flame-retardant. Ultimate will neither ignite nor exhibit afterglow and does not allow droplet formation. Even great heat will not melt the fabric.

WELDER PROTECTION & ELECTRIC ARCING

Certain occupations require very special personal protective equipment. The innovative Ultimate fabric by Lauffenmühle offers reliable protection in welding. Ultimate LEA Multi 310 even comprises additional protection from electric arcs. 

 

MULTIFUNCTIONALITY & ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Ultimate offers perfect protection even from static charges, thanks to the reliable negastat fibres woven into it. The new Ultimate fabrics may optionally be equipped with the following additional functions: High visibility and chemical protection. Just as the customer needs it.

REFLECTIVE CLOTHING & CHEMICAL PROTECTION

Chemicals cannot damage Ultimate, thanks to the special protective finish (optional) the fabric protects reliably and permanently due to its chemical-repellent properties according to DIN EN ISO 13034 Type 6. For special requirements, Ultimate is optionally available with the additional protective function for high visibility with enormous long-distance effects.

AGREEABLE & COMFORTABLE

The innovative fabric offers both optimal external protection and superb wearing comfort. The high cotton content of Ultimate (preshrunk) provides optimal breathability and very good moisture-management. Thanks to its fibre blend, Ultimate is an extremely robust and durable fabric for highest demands. Moreover, it is suitable for leasing operations and certified according to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.

CERTIFICATES & QUALITY

The finish of the new Ultimate fabric meets the current European standards for optimal workplace safety. The well-known Hohenstein research institute and other renowned testing institutions have certified the protective functions of the novel fabric by extensive tests.
