1 High visibility Protectivewear fabrics by Klopman International

2 Performance in high visibility protectivewear fabrics An extensive range of EN 47:2003 accredited high visibility fabrics. Brand segments and performance profile EN-accredited protection for an exceptionally wide range of applications for workers operating in lowlight and/or potentially hazardous conditions Öko-Tex 00 class 2 certification Designed to withstand repeated industrial laundering Ideal combination of protection, comfort and performance A primary factor determining fabric choice for high visibility garments is safety, based on conformity to EN norms. However there are also increasing demands for even higher standards of fabric strength and appearance, luminosity, wearer comfort, long-term durability and all-round performance. Klopman's Luminex range of fabrics provides the highest standards of performance for high visibility clothing. The superior luminosity and brightness of the colours High Visibility Yellow, High Visibility Orange and the first ever fully-accredited High Visibility Red means that Luminex fabrics meet or even exceed all relevant European norms. Available in a choice of weights and blends, the mid and heavyweight polyester/cotton fabrics also offer the additional protection of, Klopman's exclusive high-performance water and oil repellent finish which helps to maintain a garment's life and smart appearance. Ideal for use in full garments, together with reflective tape and panels as appropriate to the requirement and regulations, Luminex fabrics are just as suitable for use in trimmings. In order to fully meet the stringent requirements of EN 47:2003, the range is complemented by Klopman s Super Colours, a unique collection of non-fluorescent colours specifically developed for use in combination with high visibility fabrics, and offered in a variety of fabrics providing designers with an exciting range of options. In addition to the standard range of High Visibility fabrics, Klopman offers fully accredited High Visibility Yellow versions of a number of multi-functional and dedicated flame retardant fabrics, for multi-risk areas.
