We regularly talk about the presence of our nonwovens in the aeronautics, mobility and transport, and healthcare sectors… Another performance story we like to tell is that of Duflot® with manufacturers of Personal Protective Equipment.
Comfort, suitability for the task, ease of use and, of course, the effectiveness of PPE in preventing injury or illness are the main expectations workers have of their protective equipment.
Behind these expectations lies a set of performances that we strive to meet, exceed or even offer. The multi-functionality of the thermal barriers we design, manufacture and test in-house is appreciated by all those involved in thermal and fire protection. We are committed to finding the right balance between thermal protection and comfort. The flexibility of the Duflot® production tool, combined with the work of our R&D team and the many tests we can carry out in-house, enables us to create new products that are ever more effective, lightweight and comfortable, and that meet the evolving needs of those who wear them to protect themselves.
And since protection and care also mean being mindful of our environment and the transformation of production circuits and processes, you should know that Ecofelt* nonwovens are already available in our thermal barrier, fire-resistant mechanical protection and reinforcement, cutting and perforation ranges.
Duflot® nonwovens play a crucial role in the personal protection of workers. Their breathability, lightness, filtration capacity and fire resistance are as precious as the lives they protect. This responsibility guides and motivates our daily research and decisions.
*Ecofelt: Duflot® nonwovens with the Ecofelt label are composed of at least 50% regenerated fibers (PET, BICO, VIS), post-consumer fibers (aramid, polyester), production scraps (color transitions, second choice, grade B) and organic or agro-sourced fibers (natural: cotton, linen, hemp or artificial: viscose).
