WHAT MAKES FLEXOTHANE UNIQUE?

Breathable, extremely comfortable
Flexothane® is a breathable fabric. The knitted fabric absorbs perspiration avoiding that
clammy feeling. Your body stays dry and your body temperature is regulated
We use a PA 6.6 (which guarantees high colour fastness, excellent RF welding properties of the
seams, ...) weft knitted base fabric which with an optimised strength and elasticity balance.

3 LAYER TRANSFER COATING ON A CONTINUOUS MACHINE

The Flexothane® fabric is the result of the Groups’vertical integration, where the entire production process is controlled from fabric to
finished product. Flexothane® is produced on the transfer coating lines of the Sioen Industries Group. Extended durable protection
against hydrolysis is key to this fabric.

Competitors materials are often based on a 1 coating head machine combining top 1 and 2 in one thicker layer in which the solvent is
forced to evaporate through a thick layer of PUR during one oven passage. This can create pinholes which cause problems with
waterproofness, and even more problems after stretching the material. Furthermore, the elasticity of the coating must be optimized so
that it’s a perfect marriage with the elasticity of the base fabric.

THE FLEXOTHANE® EXPERIENCE

Underneath your reliable Flexothane® layer you’ll be out of reach of chilly winds and you’ll stay perfectly dry. And when the rain stops or
you turn off the pressure cleaner, you can bet the outer layer will be dry in the blink of an eye! No need to worry about damaging your
garment, the rock solid fabric can take more than you think. Or about making your hands dirty.
Flexothane® is resistant to all sorts of oil derivatives and greases (even to some chemicals and bloodborne pathogens!). The smooth
surface can easily be wiped clean. And after a whole day of hard labour, you can just take off your jacket, throw it in the washing machine
and sit back and relax.
Because Flexothane® is perfectly machine washable. Attuned to an intensive day in day out use, a durable Flexothane® garment never
lets you down offering the best value for money a hard working (wo)man can get.
