  "articleBody" : "When we buy a safety device, we evaluate its design, mode of use, comfort and price, but we do not always ask ourselves how it is created and manufactured. The origin of a PPE, on the other hand, is of great importance for what it will later be used for and, above all, for the guarantee that this information can offer the user. In fact, having a direct relationship with the real manufacturer reinforces confidence in the product itself. For example, knowing who designed an heat resistant glove, having the certainty that the regulations have been respected, that the raw materials chosen are of quality, and being able to have a contact person both at the time of purchase and in the after-sales service, represents an added value, which is not always available when purchasing through intermediaries. Coval Safety: the responsibility of being true manufacturers Coval is a brand that invests in the knowledge that customers must be satisfied without compromise. This is why we try to anticipate our customers' needs, with the constant aim of innovating our offer and filling gaps in the market. Over the years, the company has invested energy and resources in order to achieve an ambitious goal, namely to contribute to the creation of a world where people's safety and health really do come first. Indeed, in a market dominated by mediocre objects with a very short life cycle, we want to be leaders. We want the market to be aware that the choice of a high quality product should never be questioned when it comes to safety. High-end PPE We have the opportunity to improve this planet: we are real manufacturers of our products and we know the value they represent for our customers. Our goal is to create a virtuous circle from which all stakeholders benefit: individuals, families, companies and our environment. We do this by ensuring consistent quality in our products. Here is how: 1. In-house production 2.Direct selection of the best raw materials 3.Constant contact with our production sites 4.Direct monitoring of each production step, which allows for a high quality product If you also want to enter the world of Coval Safety, contact us and make an appointment with our consultants.",

  "articleBody" : "Returning from the 2024 edition of Safety Expo in Bergamo and the Preventica trade fair in Lyon, we would like to make a few remarks on a question that we are asked very often: Is it still worth participating in trade fairs? We asked this question to Martina Pieropan, Export Sales Manager of Coval Safety. Here is what she told us: There is no doubt that organising an event such as a trade fair and managing several days off-site involves a major commitment, both in terms of costs and time, and many companies are no longer willing to take on this burden without seeing a tangible feedback in the immediate future. In recent years, due to the various economic crises and a pandemic that has totally changed economic and social structures, the approach to this type of event has also changed considerably: some have switched to remote meetings with customers and suppliers, organising online calls and meetings, thus reducing expenses and eliminating distance through technology. But, in my turn, I want to ask a question: are we really sure that what at first sight seem to be advantages, are not in the long run counterproductive in the relationship with the customer?. How important is face-to-face contact with distributors and users? I would say it is essential. The efforts to participate in a trade fair, which takes months of planning and preparation, always lead to one of the fundamental things in the relationship with one's customers: real knowledge of the problems they face every day. This happens through listening, confidence and empathy that we know how to demonstrate in contexts of mutual exchange. All of this is undoubtedly an added value, a way of offering the customer excellence in expertise and a strong and reliable pre-sales and after-sales service . Safety Expo and Preventica: Review of the past few days in the field of safety The days spent at Safety Expo and Preventica were precious days, where we were able to present our product families and all our new articles live . Not only that, we met a dense network of agents, distributors and customers, who gave us different points of view on the common denominator of Safety at Work. It is precisely in thedaily experience of each of them that we find inspiration and energy to study even better PPE and that we understand the course to follow to fill certain gaps, not only in products, but also in after-sales management. The importance of warehouse management, the need to manage orders in a lean and fast way, the need for ad hoc training to train personnel on the correct use of protective clothing at work, are issues that especially with direct contact and live communication can come to the surface and be handled competently. In our case, this was also possible thanks to the presence at the fair of an experienced and ready-to-listen sales team. We can therefore say that, even if participation in trade fairs does not immediately guarantee certain orders, it does however allow us to consolidate relationships with companies, building their loyalty and showing them live what we can offer them, and this, in the long run, is priceless.

  "articleBody" : "When working in contact with open flames or the potential presence of flames, it is essential to wear workwear that offers a guarantee in protecting the worker from heat-related risks. This is precisely why it is important to know and choose the right fireproof clothing, i.e. made of non-flammable materials, in order to reduce the possibility of fabric combustion. This type of fabric is made to withstand contact with very high temperatures, providing excellent protection from flames and slowing the burning time. Characteristics of flame-retardant clothing We can divide fireproof clothing into two types depending on the material from which it is made: 1. Treated fabric, i.e. that has undergone a flame retardant treatment with FR (flame retardant) products with the aim of interrupting or at least reducing the combustion cycle. We can say that PPE created with this material has a sort of expiry date, hence a precise number of washes, which is indicated on the label. 2. Inherent fabric, i.e. that which does not undergo any kind of external treatment, as it is made from naturally fireproof fibres. In this case, the flame-retardant properties do not diminish, as they are inherent to the material, even after several washing cycles. If you want to learn more about this topic, read our dedicated blog. Types of flame-resistant clothing Fire retardant clothing can be of different types, with specific characteristics depending on the risks to which the operator may be subject, for example: Protective clothing against the limited spread of flame Protective clothing against heat: radiant, contact, etc. Protective clothing for welding Work clothing for firefighters Work clothing for forest fires Each of these categories is regulated by specific standards that underline and protect their performance and that must be carefully followed when choosing the right personal protective equipment. ISO 14116, for example, requires protective clothing to be made of non-flammable materials, or at least fabrics that stop burning once the heat source is removed. It ensures that the clothing in question will not contribute to spreading the flame. ISO 11612, on the other hand, covers protective clothing against heat and flame. It specifies the minimum performance that protective clothing must have to be effective in industrial environments such as foundries or glassworks for example. Find out more by clicking HERE. Depending on the work environment and tasks, it is also important to choose the right clothing: there are jackets, trousers, coveralls, gloves and gaiters. And there are also safety shoes with flame retardant properties. The choice of equipment must therefore be made according to the specific needs of the worker, always in accordance with a risk assessment carried out by an RSPP. The Coval Safety aluminised fire-resistant coverall: a must-have PPE for foundry workers. We have dedicated an entire line of aluminised PPE to protect users from the risks of flames and heat of various kinds. One of these garments, essential especially in the foundry sector, is part of the HEAT family, namely the V6KA aramid fibre fire-resistant coverall. This PPE offers excellent resistance from convective heat, but above all protects against radiant heat and molten metal splashes. Designed with a convenient central Velcro and press stud opening, it is ideal for work in foundries, the glass industry and metalworking. Knowing PPE and complying with regulations is the first step to protect yourself from countless risks at work. If you want to learn more about this topic, you can read one of our articles in Safety Magazine. You can find it HERE.",

  "articleBody" : "Those approaching the world of welding should always ask themselves what clothing is appropriate for working safely without sacrificing comfort. Having the right equipment is needed to protect the worker from sparks, heat and molten metal splashes and should provide good freedom of movement and suitable heat resistance. One of the main rules to keep in mind is that the entire body must be covered; in fact, very often we come across welders with bare arms or exposed necks, when in fact even these parts are continually at risk of burns or worse, scalding. In addition, it is essential to use clothing made from welding-specific yarns, that is, which have flame-retardant properties and thus make the device a heat protector. There are various PPE to wear, such as eye and respiratory masks or head hoods; we will focus on clothing for body and limb protection. The welder's clothing: what to wear for protection and comfort THE APRON: Among Coval Safety's offerings for the welding world, the SPARK Split Leather Sleeve Welding Apron is never missing. It has excellent resistance to welding risks and its purpose is to protect the worker from sparks, cuts and abrasions. Because of its apron design with long sleeves attached, the chest and arms are totally covered, ensuring complete protection of the user. THE GLOVES: 42VB gloves made of thermal split leather, fully lined with flame-retardant TNT, with a reinforcement on the palm, making them even safer and more durable. They have an adjustable Velcro closure in the sleeve, which allows a better fit on the arm and more protection in case of sparks from welding activities. Wearing gloves with a long sleeve is very important so as not to leave the wrist and forearm exposed, thus risking coming into contact with sparks or contact heat. These PPE should also be carefully chosen according to the type of task being performed. In this regard we refer to our article on different types of welding, which you can find HERE. THE JACKET: Another must-have garment for the welder is the heat-resistant jacket made of split leather with a flame-retardant cotton back and a central Velcro and snap-button closure. The 12-cm high collar is designed and engineered to totally protect the worker, even in parts of the body often not considered to be risk zones, and is lined in fireproof cotton. Read more about this product in our article by clicking HERE. FOOTWEAR GAITERS: SPARK welding gaiters with fastening press studs are another essential PPE for people working in the welding industry: ✅They are designed to reduce the risk of entanglement ✅They grip the leg preventing sparks from entering the shoe ✅They are interchangeable They are suitable for POSEIDON/B and APOLLO/B shoe models and offer not only excellent thermal insulation, but also high performance against mechanical hazards such as abrasion, cutting, puncture and tearing. All garments in the SPARK welding line comply with EN ISO 11611:2015 CLASS 2 A1. Tips for optimal choice of welding clothing Choose the right material: leather is usually used for welding, as it is heat-resistant. For seams, Kevlar thread, with its known flame-retardant properties, is recommended. Choose the right length: in the case of gloves, this allows protection not only for the hands, but also for wrists and forearms. Choose the right level of protection: protective gloves for welding are classified according to the level of protection they offer. It is important to choose the right level of protection for the type of welding you are doing. Check for regulatory compliance: for this we refer to our article on proper label reading. Choose the right size: wearing the correct size clothing ensures proper fit and maximum possible protection for the user, not to mention comfort. All of this is very important when you consider that we spend a large part of our day in the work environment and, especially in certain types of jobs, we find ourselves in uncomfortable positions, even for a prolonged time.

  "articleBody" : "So many workers put their safety at risk every day to perform often dangerous and uncomfortable tasks. In addition, they come into contact with sharp and cutting materials, flames, heat, sparks or dangerous substances. The part of the body that is often most exposed to these dangers is undoubtedly the hands. This is precisely why it is essential to know and use the right PPE, depending on the work to be performed and the environment in which these operations take place. Features of an ergonomic glove To be able to understand the importance of using the correct PPE, one only has to think of all the time we spend at work, wearing safety equipment to perform repetitive and sometimes unskillful or dangerous actions. Consequently, the level of comfort is also a prerequisite for successful work. But when can a glove be defined as ‘comfortable’? Here are some characteristics: 1. COMFORT: which is given by the shape of the PPE and the use of materials with a high degree of elasticity and adaptability, which guarantee a comfortable fit. 2. THE FIT: in fact, if the gloves are too small, movements are difficult or, on the contrary, if they are too large, dexterity of movement decreases. This is precisely why we always stress to our customers how important it is to choose the correct size. 3. THE GRIP: to grip and hold objects, often hot or sharp, securely. How important is it to have a glove with a double fit: right hand and left hand? Another important point in the study and design of the right PPE for hand protection is to have a dedicated glove for the right hand and one for the left hand. Being able to use the glove in a double fit is an added value for workers with complex and repetitive tasks, as it improves the efficiency and at the same time the comfort of the gloves. Coval offers a number of glove designs that lend themselves to different uses and provide protection from contact heat up to 250° and even 500° according to EN 407 for thermal hazards. Heat-resistant F2/15 oven and food industry mitten: made of thermal crust, two fingers, lined on the inside. Added value, the 35 cm sleeve, for better protection of the forearm when handling hot pans and utensils. F2AGP aramid heat protection mitten for foundry, which protects up to 500° heat by contact; it therefore offers extreme protection against extremely high temperatures: where there is a heat source or casting, or in case of prolonged contact with hot objects. Aramid fibre mitten for contact heat F2TK, up to 350°. Ideal in environments such as: food industry metal working handling of hot objects What are the risks to which the worker is most exposed? As mentioned above, risks can be various, depending on the job and the target sector. Here are some of the most common examples: Mechanical risks: cuts, scratches, abrasions Biological risks: contact with micro-organisms Chemical risks: contact with chemicals or solvents Physical risks: intermittent vibrations or repeated shocks Thermal risks: contact with sparks, metal splashes, radiant or contact heat, flames To try to avoid or limit the damage resulting from accidents related to these hazards, it is important to choose the most appropriate safety device, taking into account different elements, such as: the material from which they are made the study of the ergonomics of the product, which must best suit the user Certainly, the choice of raw materials and yarns can make a difference, as can the study of details. And it is precisely here that we want to focus on in this article. How important is the study of glove ergonomics? Safety devices used for hand protection are not all the same. An example? If two people both work in a foundry, it does not mean that they have to use the same heat-resistant glove. In fact, depending on the task, the duration of use of the PPE, and the size of the user, it will be necessary to evaluate which product is most suitable for the purpose. Here are some glove options that can be found in the Coval Safety range: Mitten 3-finger glove 5-finger glove Each of these proposals lends itself to a different use. Why choose a 5-finger heat-resistant glove rather than a 2-finger mitten or a 3-finger glove? Let us give some examples to understand this. The 5-finger glove provides greater freedom of movement and dexterity than other 2-finger or 3-finger designs. It is, however, less practical to remove in an emergency. They are mainly used in sectors where precision is essential, but also in foundry, glassworks and welding. The 2-finger mitten, ideal for those working in the Ho.Re.Ca field, on the other hand, allows the air to act as an insulator: the same mitten produced with 5 fingers or with 2 fingers can therefore have a slight difference in terms of thermal insulation, i.e. it delays the perception of heat more. In addition, the handgrip is more suitable when there is a need to easily slip the PPE on and off, during normal working activity or in an emergency. The 3-finger glove, on the other hand, is an excellent compromise between the 5-finger glove and the handgrip; it is recommended for applications in the catering industry, when for example there is a need to handle pans or grills, as it offers a firmer grip on hot objects.

For every worker in different industries or in the same industry, Coval studies and offers different solutions, in order to enjoy the working day in safety and comfort. For example, gloves that reduce hand or finger movements require the worker to exert more muscular effort to perform the required tasks. This increases the risk of tensions that can cause fatigue in the hand, or lead to persistent and painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. And it is precisely with a view to offering our customers something designed for them and their everyday needs that we strive to differentiate our products according to sector and task. With us, you will not only be able to try out the most suitable products for your needs, but you will also have access to expert consultants to guide you in your choice and the opportunity to benefit from our Training. You will discover all the features of the PPE you wear, understand what size is right for you and the importance of details such as sleeves or glove length.

  "articleBody" : "In the world of work safety, it is often required that the PPE used by workers is fireproof, i.e. it has the ability to limit or prevent the combustion of materials and is therefore non-flammable. Fireproof clothing provides a protective barrier between the worker's body and flames, minimising the risk of serious injury or burns in the event of a workplace accident. These garments are designed for those working in high-risk environments, such as: firefighters industrial workers professionals working in high-risk fire sectors, such as: metalworkers, blacksmiths, welders In this article we want to explain the difference between the two types of fabric, their advantages, disadvantages and when it is preferable to choose one or the other. 1.Fabric with fire retardant treatment Treated fabrics are originally created as materials that are not naturally flame retardant, and are therefore prone to combustion if in contact with flames. They are then subjected to specific chemical treatments and coated with substances that protect and retard the effect of flame, such as Flame Retardants (FR), which may include substances such as aluminium, magnesium, boron, red phosphorus and nitrogen. These agents act by interrupting the combustion cycle, slowing down the transfer of heat. ✅Benefits: this fabric is certainly cheaper than the inherent flame retardant fabric, and this is often optimal for companies that have to stick to certain budgets. ❌Disadvantages: the level of protection cannot be guaranteed for a long time, as the products used to treat the fabric lose their effectiveness with the number of washes. Precisely for this reason, the manufacturer must be able to guarantee the safety level with accurate certifications and the company must have a thorough knowledge of the Safety Device in order to know when to replace it. 2.Inherent or intrinsic flame-retardant fabric This type of material differs from the previous one in that it is composed of naturally flame-retardant fibres that protect the wearer of the PPE from heat and flames ✅Benefits:The inherent flame-retardant fabric has a superior hold and durability if the safety device is maintained properly, precisely because it is not treated with external chemical agents that lose effectiveness with washing. Moreover, because it is not subjected to surface chemical treatments, it is free of potentially dangerous substances and can be safely washed at home. ❌Disadvantages: It is certainly a more expensive product precisely because of this important innate quality and, in some cases, is not purchased due to budget constraints. How to choose the most suitable clothing for theprotection of the user? Several factors must be considered when choosing the right safety device: not only the quality of the fabric used, but also comfort and the budget available. In this specific case, although the inherent material may seem the most suitable, one must also consider the standards achieved by the product. Over the years, in fact, there have been major technological improvements in the chemical treatments of fabrics, which have led to increasingly higher levels of protection, offering better quality and durability. We can therefore say that if the PPE meets the standard and level of protection you need, and if you take into account the fact that treated fabrics have a limited lifespan, both choices will meet your needs and guarantee a common goal: protecting the worker from flames and heat. What standards regulate flame-resistant clothing? According to the latest regulations, flame-resistant workwear has become mandatory in many industrial environments. These regulations set strict safety standards, and they are: EN ISO 11612 defines minimum requirements for clothing offering limited protection against heat and flame. EN ISO 11611 covers protective clothing for welding and related activities. Garments complying with this standard must offer protection against small splashes of molten metal, brief contact with a flame, exposure to UV radiation and convective heat. EN ISO 14116 sets out the performance requirements for materials and construction of protective clothing with limited flame spread. NB: A specific standard regulates fire-fighting clothing for firefighters and is EN 469:2005+A1:2006 Choose your workwear from the Coval Safety range What if we told you that among the PPE produced by Coval Safety, you could find a line of workwear made of inherent fabric, which guarantees protection with maximum effectiveness? Let's talk about PPE from the ProWear D3 E3 anti-heat range. COMPARED TO FLAME-RESISTANT, MULTI-STANDARD COTTON CLOTHING: More thermal insulation Maximum resistance to molten aluminium and iron splashesUnaltered flame-retardant properties after washing Fabric has no treatment Here are some of our proposals for multiple protection: The PROWEAR D3 E3 fireproof jacket for molten metal protection, soft and comfortable, made of inherent fireproof fabric, is designed for all operators in the land industry, where the risk of contact with molten metal splashes is high. In fact, the metals do not cling to the fabric, but rather slide off, thus better protecting the wearer. The fabric's intrinsic flame-retardant properties allow it to maintain its functions unchanged over time, even after washing, guaranteeing not only protection, but also hygiene. The mixed wool composition of the fabric ensures a constant body temperature, thus offering a product that is cool in summer and warm in winter. Regulatory pictograms are embroidered with flame retardant yarn. This allows you to always wear PPE that is recognisable and distinguishable from other clothing such as cotton or multi-norm. For all-round protection, you can combine the jacket with the PROWEAR D3 E3 flame-retardant trousers for molten metal protection. In this case, the waistband with belt loops, the stretch fabric at the back and both back and side pockets make them practical even in critical working positions and ensure that all parts of the body are always protected. Everything is available in 6 colour variants: blue, dark blue, grey, dark grey, red and orange for a recognisable and unified corporate image. NB. A version with reflective side bands is also available, making it even more visible and safer for operators working in dark or poorly lit environments. NB2: Not a substitute for aluminised clothing, recommended for extreme operations near heat sources and molten metals. Our team is here to guide you through the world of safety!",

  "articleBody" : "Special operations require special protection, and that is precisely where Coval Safety comes in. Our aim is to make all workers safe from the many risks they face every day by providing them with top-of-the-range safety equipment. Among the categories at risk, we have dedicated a type of clothing to intervention teams in contact with bees, wasps and hornets, such as the Fire Fighters and Civil Defence. Indeed, stings from these insects can be very painful and, in the worst cases, even lethal. Why have a B.Protec suit B-PROTEC is a one-piece yellow coverall in double-layer puncture-proof fabric, tested for puncture resistance according to ASTM F 1342:2005. Available in several sizes, from M to XL and designed down to the smallest detail to fully protect the user: Designed and created with a front zip, arranged transversally on the chest and around the head for complete coverage and ease of donning. Equipped with sleeve and leg bottoms closed with elastic and Velcro, to prevent insects from entering through the slits, but still allowing quick opening. Designed with an incorporated hood, consisting of a large steel mesh visor and a helmet conforming to EN 397. This provides all-round shielding against external danger elements. In addition, the suit includes PVC gloves, which provide resistance to mechanical, chemical and oil hazards. In addition, the yellow colour makes it easier to detect the presence of insects, thus reducing the risk of stings. NB: accessory PPE such as gloves and visor can also be ordered as spare parts. Therefore, the reasons for choosing this PPE are many, as it fully protects the user, while still being easy to wear, with a large visual area, unobstructed, and very light and flexible. When to wear the B.PROTEC coverall This special coverall for protection against bee and wasp stings is the right garment to wear during clean-up operations, removal of insect nests or hazardous pest control. It is also ideal for Fire Fighters and Intervention Teams trained to work in contact with swarms or hornet nests. PPE Preservation As with all PPE, the correct use and conservation of the B.Protec coveralls are indispensable factors for guaranteeing a total level of safety at the time of use. Here are some points not to be forgotten: Store the PPE in a dry place and not exposed to oil and/or grease or heat sources Avoid contact with solvents that may alter its characteristics Clean the suit with a clothes brush. Do not wash Check the expiry date of new, correctly maintained PPE Remember also the limits of use of the B.Protec coverall, i.e. it is not intended for use in fire-fighting (fire brigade), nor is it suitable for use in operations requiring chemical resistance. PPE certified according to ISO 13688:2013 PERFORMANCE: Fabric penetration resistance test: ASTM F 1342:2005 The penetration test was carried out using a needle of a size to simulate the sting of an insect, pushing the needle with twice the force normally produced by a hornet.",

  "articleBody" : "In the world of welding activities, the safety of workers is of primary importance. One of the fundamental elements to ensure a safe working environment is the proper protective equipment, and the welding jacket plays a crucial role in this context. Welding jacket: the ideal ally against incandescent sparks The welding process involves the use of high temperatures, splatters of slag, and sparks. The welding jacket is specifically designed to withstand these extreme conditions, providing an effective barrier against heat and protecting the operator's skin. Made with flame-resistant and heat-resistant materials, this jacket becomes a second skin that offers reliable protection. Using clothing made of cotton or wool, in fact, increases the risk of a spark reacting with what is worn; a certified jacket resistant to such conditions thus becomes a fundamental ally for your safety in the work environment. Welding jacket: why should you wear one? Welding jackets are not only a measure of protection against heat but also play a crucial role in injury prevention. The high-quality fabrics used in their production are designed to resist cuts, thereby reducing the risk of injuries caused by slag or sharp objects. Adjustable closures and elastic cuffs ensure a secure fit, preventing the entry of unwanted debris. Furthermore, like other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), the welding jacket and, in general, all protective clothing certified according to ISO 11611, act as a shield against UV rays emitted during welding processes. Comfort and mobility are often overlooked features Contrary to what one might think, modern welding jackets are designed not only for safety but also to ensure maximum comfort and mobility. Lightweight and breathable materials allow the operator to move agilely while maintaining an optimal level of protection. Compliance with Safety Regulations The adoption of welding jackets is not only a conscious choice but often a necessity to maintain compliance with workplace safety regulations. Standards in this regard require the use of appropriate PPE, and the welding jacket is an essential element to meet such requirements. Welding products must comply with ISO 11611:2015 - Protective clothing for welding and allied processes. Certified clothing for this standard must cover the entire body and protect the user from sparks and brief contact with fire. Coval Safety: our welding jackets The characteristics of an ideal welding jacket are simple: it must be durable, ensure a long lifespan, resist fire and heat, provide good thermal insulation, and also guarantee good fit and comfort. The Coval range of products assures you all of this. An example from the Coval offering is the V3CR split leather welding jacket. Designed with a central closure and a mandarin collar, it is suitable for any type of welding, particularly in the presence of sparks and mechanical risks. All of this is guaranteed by the ISO 11611:2015 product certification. Another product suitable for welding is the V3FG grain leather jacket. Also available in a version with a flame-retardant cotton back (V3FGSI variant), this jacket is suitable for all types of welding, heavy industry, and environments exposed to incandescent sparks and mechanical risks. The closure is central with snap buttons, and the seams are made of Kevlar thread. Finally, the SPARK V3CTA heat-resistant split leather jacket is the ideal choice to ensure comfort throughout the workday, thanks to an internal pocket, a gusseted structure under the arms, and soft aramid knit cuffs. To cover often overlooked areas of the body, the jacket also features a 12 cm high collar lined with flame-retardant cotton specifically designed to increase comfort, and it has a longer fit, providing greater coverage to the lower back. The welding jacket is not just a piece of clothing but an investment in the safety and health of operators. Its effectiveness in protecting against heat, preventing injuries, and ensuring comfort makes it an indispensable element in any work environment involving welding operations. Workplace safety should guide the selection of protective devices, and the welding jacket plays a fundamental role in ensuring a safe and protected working environment.",

  "articleBody" : "The quality of an heat-resistant product depends above all on the materials used. However, we are not only thinking about leathers or fabrics, the threads used for the seams also have an enormous importance in the level of protection offered to the user. And this is where one of the unquestioned protagonists in our production of heat-resistant gloves and garments comes into play: Kevlar thread. Kevlar thread: what is it and what is it used for? Kevlar thread is a synthetic para-aramid fiber resistant to heat and mechanical hazards. The production process of Kevlar takes place in the laboratory through a series of chemical reactions, which generate fibers suitable for the manufacture of different types of items, both for outdoor activities and for safety. In fact, it is used not only for the production of safety equipment at work, but also in the military or extreme sports, where dangerous situations are the order of the day. The properties of Kevlar thread The synthetic fibers of this type of thread have extraordinary qualities: 1. Toughness and resistance to tearing This material is five times stronger than steel, since it is almost impossible to be able to separate its fibers in the event of an impact. 2. Lightness Kevlar fibers combine a high strength factor with extreme lightness. 3. Flame resistance It has a heat capacity that allows it, when exposed to heat, to withstand temperatures up to 450 °C, beginning to lose its consistency only above 500 °C . Kevlar fibers do not melt, drip or promote combustion. In addition, as a synthetic fiber it has high abilities to maintain its molecular composition even when subjected to chemicals and solvents. https://www.covalsafety.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/filo-kevlar-blogpost.mp4 The video shows us in a concrete way the potential of this thread: in fact, unlike cotton thread, the flame in contact with Kevlar thread does not have time to advance, but extinguishes immediately. 4. Durability over time Kevlar has a high capacity not to lose its characteristics over time. Coval Safety: heat-resistant gloves and garments Kevlar thread is our ally in the production of high-end heat-resistant products. In fact, we use it for all our items: from heavy industry, to welding, from oven gloves to those used by fire and rescue teams. In this way, seams in welding gloves, for example, do not burn and are very tear-resistant. The use of the best raw materials is a key point for us to guarantee our customers excellence in the choice of safety equipment that accompanies them every day in their work activities. Whether it is radiant or contact, our job is to warn the worker of heat-related hazards. If you would like to find out more about our Coval HEAT line, contact us and request a consultation.",
