The end-user is key for TenCate Protective Fabrics. Ramon Overdijk, marketing sales manager of TenCate said: "These working people must be able to do their jobs with proper protection. Safety wear that does not hinder but facilitates their tasks, will contribute to integral safety at work. Our fabrics and systems give optimal protection combined with ultimate flexibility and comfort".

One of these innovations is TenCate Tecasafe - XL 9300. A characteristic feature of this fabric collection is the combination of inherent flame-resistant properties, multi-risk protection and optimal comfort. These fabrics are suitable for use in protective clothing, for example in the chemical industry and construction, energy and metal companies.

Now, the collection has been extended to include TenCate Tecasafe - XL 9300 (300 g/m2). A natural cellulose fibre has been incorporated which makes the fabric cool and breathable and ensures comfort. The fabric feels soft and is extremely durable. Its colourfastness is excellent, even after frequent industrial washing. And the colour on the seams and the cuffs remains as good as new.

TenCate has also developed a unique multi-layer system - TenCate Tecasystem.

Each protective layer has a specific function and all layers are geared to each other to produce the integrated system. An example is the multi-layer system for fire fighting clothing.

TenCate Protective Fabrics has developed four new integrated systems including TenCate Tecasystem Millenia 450. This is the lightest multi-layer system on the international market (450 g/m2) to meet the European standard for fire fighting clothing.

The latest fabrics were launched at the A+A 2009 trade fair in Düsseldorf at the beginning of November.
