Macron Safety CutPro™ Natural Clothing

Cut resistant garments for workers in high mechanical risk areas require specially engineered fabrics designed to protect without compromising comfort and appearance. Norfab’s new CutPro™ Natural line of fabrics employ unique NorFab yarn designs that combine the strength, high thermal capability, cut resistance and durability of Teijin Twaron® with the hardness of stainless steel. The unique composition of CutPro™ Natural provides outstanding protection against hazards posed by sharp objects and revolving or reciprocating blades.

Garments made with this CutPro™ Natural fabric provide:

• ANSI/ISEA  105-2011 Level 4 Cut Protection, Level 4 Puncture Resistance, Level 2 Abrasion Resistance
• 100% inherent flame resistance that will never wash out or wear out
• Appearance of natural Twaron® brand fiber masks the presence of stainless steel wire.
• For Use: Sheet-metal handling, Glass handling, Automotive assembly

Outlast® technology, originally developed for NASA, utilizes phase change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort.  Outlast® technology is comparable to ice in a drink; as it changes from solid to liquid, it absorbs heat and cools the drink, keeping that drink at the desired temperature for longer. Outlast® phase change materials work in the same way, but are microencapsulated to be permanently enclosed and protected in a polymer shell. We call microencapsulated phase change materials Thermocules™.

This encapsulation process makes the Thermocules™ exceptionally durable for many applications. These Thermocules™ can be incorporated into fabrics and fibers and have the capacity to absorb, store and release excess heat.  This gives any product containing Outlast® technology the ability to continually regulate skin’s microclimate. As the skin gets hot, the heat is absorbed, and as it cools, that heat is released.

Outlast® technology is not wicking technology, which manages moisture by reacting to your sweat and pulling it away from the skin. Outlast® technology will proactively manage heat while controlling the production of moisture before it begins. That’s the Outlast® difference.

Apparel

Outlast® technology takes comfort to the next level by proactively alleviating spikes in skin temperature throughout the day. With Outlast® technology added to apparel products, individuals will feel just right, no matter what the activity or season.

With added comfort you also provide added value for your customers. Outlast® technology is a tested and proven benefit that many trusted apparel brands are already taking advantage of. The following are some examples of apparel products and the appropriate Outlast® material to use.
