With 260 g/m² and its special finish it’s an optimal fabric for producing smocks and overalls which are typically needed in those industries.

Ultra LSR means Lauffenmühle Soil Release, and behind that name there is the innovative multifunctional article: for soil-repellency and simultaneous efficient removal of dirt from industrially washed clothing. The special yarn character in combination with the two barriers of the finish enables us to get these very good results for soil release - in combination with the soil repellent efficency of the fabric - also for industrial washing due to the E.T.S.A. standards. Beside phantastic technical performances like extraordinary dimension stability, abrasion resistance and moisture management, soil repellency could be combined with the added value of an improved soil release effect.

 

d) Fabric for the special demand of vector protection

Vector      Weight: 150 g/m²; Blend 95/5% CO/PES; Usable Width 160cm; Weave: K 2/1S; Colour: Orange

 

Protection against vectors, defined as “desease transmitting animals”, is very important when working outdoor, as most of the serious fever-related diseases in humans are triggered off by micro-organisms transmitted by insects: Vectors such as flies can carry on their legs a large number of microorganisms, which cause diseases (typhus, dysentery, cholera or trachoma, worldwide the most frequent cause of blindness) when exceeding a certain number. And the second possibility is that vectors spread bacteria, viruses or parasites by stinging or biting. In this way they transmit germs from an infected host into the body of the new host. The new fabric developed by Lauffenmühle now helps to reduce mosquito bites and protects also against other unwelcome guests, such as ticks (in the temperate zones of Europe for example, ticks can transmit Lyme borreliosis with one single bite).

The new Lauffenmühle fabric meets Technical Supply Specifications TL 8305-0331 (BWB, for NATO army use), which means that the textile fabric which has been given the vector protection treatment and the textile garments made from it must be permanently effective against all blood-sucking arthropods (vectors). The certified testing results of this latest development of Lauffen-mühle confirm good protection even after 50 washing cycles according to EN ISO 15797,  75°C).

 

 

Produits antibactériens pour la protection permanente contre les infections

 

De même, nous offrons à tout le secteur de la santé - tout comme à tous les autres secteurs comme le secteur agro-alimentaire, pour lesquels l'hygiène et la protection contre les infections qui peuvent être transmises par les bactéries - des produits avec un effet permanent antibactérien. Sur la base de la connaissance que les ions d'argent offrent ici la protection adéquate, nous travaillons pour nos tissus des fils dont les fibres contiennent des ions d'argent fermement et durablement fixés. Ainsi, nous obtenons un effet antibactérien permanent, même après de nombreux lavages industriels à haute température. En outre, nous respectons ainsi l'environnement car les ions d'argent fermement fixés restent dans le tissu et les eaux usées des laveries ne sont pas polluées avec les substances utilisées.
