ղⱹ® helps protect you and your work in the bodyshop
With a protective barrier built into the material, ղⱹ® coveralls help ensure that users enjoy efficient, high-performance protection at all times. ղⱹ® has an ultra-smooth surface that repels low concentrated inorganic liquids and aerosols while discouraging solid particles from adhering. ղⱹ® coveralls also pass type 5 protection against solid particulates (EN ISO 13982-1), with extremely low inward leakage levels.
ղⱹ® coveralls combine superb protection and rugged durability with relaxed comfort. The unique manufacturing process used for ղⱹ® makes the material fabric permeable to both air and water vapor. Extremely lightweight (42g/m2), soft and supple, ղⱹ® garments are designed to offer users considerable freedom of movement. Thanks to its single-layer composition, ղⱹ® is also extremely resistant to abrasion and tearing.
k8 offers a wide range of chemical protection solutions for most surface treatments and coating work: ղⱹ® 400, ղⱹ® 500, ղⱹ® 600, ղⱹ® 400D and ղⱹ® accessories.
Industry tests such as the “crater test” (used in the automotive industry) have shown that garments made of k8™ ղⱹ® do not release substances liable to damage coatings. Because ղⱹ® garments are made of extremely dense, continuous and tough polyethene fibers, they do not shed or release surface-damaging compounds, thereby minimising the risk of surface contamination while they are being treated. Furthermore, ղⱹ® coveralls help protect surfaces from contamination caused by operators’ hair, skin and particles from clothing worn underneath protective garments. The combination of the ղⱹ® garment’s smooth surface and the antistatic treatment helps prevent particles from adhering.
Enhanced protection: ղ⳦® 6000 garments and accessories
For tasks linked to painting, as the preparation of the paint, cleaning or the use of solvent fountains, k8 recommends its range of ղ⳦® 6000 lightweight, high-performance garments and accessories (sleeves, apron, gown, slip-retardant overboots). ղ⳦® 6000 also helps offer protection against biological risks, a broad range of highly concentrated inorganic chemicals and organic chemicals. For organic solvents like aromatic compounds and aliphatic hydrocarbons, the use of a ղ⳦® 6000 protective coverall should also be considered. ղ⳦® is very lightweight and low-linting, and, like ղⱹ®, it is tear- and abrasion-resistant and contains no fillers or binders liable to be released by the material.
