Material applications

  Characteristic Remarks
Cotton
Natural fibre (87% cellulose) 		Very comfortable fibre. Good absorption capacity of perspiration. Cotton fibres are mixed with polyester fibres by Showa in order to associate comfort with a high mechanical resistance
Polyester Polyester fibre has good mechanical resistance and elasticity (takes back its form after putting out shape) and wash ability. Polyester fibres have poor absorption capacity of perspiration however Showa is mixing together with cotton fibres in order to avoid this disadvantage.
Polyamide Polyamide fibre has good mechanical resistance, elasticity (takes back its form after putting out shape) and wash ability. These fibres are absorbing only few liquid and dry therefore easily.  
Kevlar®
Polyaramide fibre made by DuPont 		The Kevlar® fibre provides high cut resistance (3 times higher than cotton gloves and 5 times higher than leather gloves). Good protection against convective heat. Kevlar® gloves in contact with ultraviolet rays are changing colour (turn in brown) and loosing some properties and therefore have to be stored sheltered from direct light
Dyneema®
Polyethylene fibre made by DSM 		The Dyneema® fibre provides high cut and abrasion resistance. This fibre is well resistant to several chemical products, liquid and detergents.
