Material Information

100% cotton

Silver Line, Classic Line, White Line , etc.
The cotton is available in gram weights of 300 to 370g/m2. Cotton is a comfortable material, but it absorbs more dirt and moisture than synthetic-blend materials. Cotton is naturally anti-static. The cotton used in Jobman's garments is sanforized, i.e. preshrunk, to keep shrinkage during washing to a minimum. Almost all Jobman's cotton garments can tolerate industrial washing at 85°C.

flame For welding, we recommend our flame-retardant welding garments that are certified in accordance 'with EN470-1 and EN531 A, B2, C1.


Polyester/cotton

Base Profile, etc.
An easy to care for and versatile material made of 65% polyester/
35% cotton (260g/m2), which can tolerate industrial washing.
Polyester/cotton is normally used in garments intended for the
industrial, transport and service sectors. This fabric retains its
colour well, which makes it a practical choice for profile clothing.
Can be washed at 85°C.


Safety Clothing
Polyester/cotton

Hi-Vis EN471 High visibility clothing
For technical reasons, the proportion of polyester/cotton in the
fluorescent and blue elements of these garments is different. The
fluorescent fabric is a 70% polyester/30% cotton blend, while
the blue areas are 65% polyester/35% cotton. The slightly higher
polyester content of the fluorescent colours helps the garment
retain its colour better. The gram weight is 260 to 280g/m2.
Can be washed at 60°C. These garments must be washed
separately and the maximum number of washes is specified on
each garment. In order for these garments to comply with high
visibility requirements, it is extremely important that the washing
advice be followed carefully.


PolyFab

Poly Line
Garments in the Poly Line range are made of PolyFab, 100%
polyester with a gram weight of 315g/m2. PolyFab is a unique
material developed by Jobman. It is extremely hardwearing. The
brushed inside makes the material comfortable to wear and feels
just like cotton.
PolyFab has been tested and approved in accordance with
EN469 7.5 against penetration by: oil, sulphuric acid 30%, hydrochloric
acid 37%, formic acid 85%, sodium hydroxide 40% and
iso-octane. The density of the fabric also contributes to other
substances such as glue, paint, filler and small particles like dust
and soot having difficulty penetrating the clothing. The seams of
garments have been tested and approved against penetration by
hydrochloric acid 37%. The surface has been treated to be able
to repel moisture.
PolyFab can be washed at 85°C and should be tumble-dried at
a high temperature. (The surface treatment is reactivated by the
heat.) Do not use fabric softeners.

Öko-Tex standard 100

The human environmental standard
Many of Jobman's products are approved in accordance with Öko-Tex
standard 100. This means that the product does not contain
substances that can prove harmful to humans if there is direct
contact with them. Naturally, this also has a positive effect on
global environmental issues.
Öko-Tex is an internationally specified
standard. The entire manufacturing process
and all elements of a garment must fulfil its
requirements.


Dry-Tech

Dry-Tech functional clothing
Dry-Tech is a 100% polyester material made up of microfibres
that rapidly transport sweat away from the body and distribute it
over a larger area, a 'wicking effect'. The microscopic particles of
water then evaporate quickly. The result - the garment stays dry
and you feel fresh all day.
Dry-Tech is shape-stable, non-iron, retains its colour well and can
be washed at 85°C.


Lining

Winter clothing
The pile lining used in a number of our garments is warm and
comfortable and therefore suitable for use in, for example, the
body of jackets, which need to be really warm. Our pile lining
has a long life and keeps its heat-retaining properties even after
washing. Fleece is a more modern version of pile.
Our quilted lining is thinner and more versatile and thus suitable
for garments, or areas of garments, where mobility is important.
This quilted lining is also suitable for dusty environments, as the
surface can easily be brushed clean. The lining can move slightly
during washing.


Polyurethane-backed polyester

Winter clothing
Several of our winter garments are made from a durable form of
polyester with a polyurethane coating on the inside, which makes
them windproof and water repellant. Polyester is easy to keep
clean and can withstand battery acid and oil.


Granyte

Granyte Line
70% polyester/30% cotton weighing 260g/m2. Granyte is an inhouse
developed, hardwearing yet easy to care for material that
is water and dirt repellant. It is suitable for use in dirty environments
where the garments are subjected to a lot of wear. Granyte
retains its colour well, can be washed at 85°C and can be tumbledried
at a lower temperature.
