For over 36 years in the very work safety market, JGB® is a reference in personal protective equipment, being a pioneer in several technologies that have been embraced by the sector. We have already brought, here on the blog, a list of the more than 10 risks which our equipment protects us from. Today, we present the JGB® brands and their technology fabrics developed for the best protection combined with comfort. Check out!

Kouríon®

As a technology property which comes straight from JGB, Kouríon® is leather specially treated for high temperatures with greater durability – which prevents premature leather hardening. Its design provides comfort and protection to the operator in high-risk areas due to heat exposure.

Kouríon® is most indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Foundries;

• Microfusions;

• Steelworks and continuous casting;

• Blast furnaces;

• Welding in general;

• And in other areas which might need thermal protection.

Forte line

The Strong product Line is made of selected high quality scrap, which provides more durability and resistance. Its distinctive design offers the user protection and comfort. It is indicated for welding processes and for work in areas that need resistance to abrasion, cutting and flying particles.

The Strong Product line is indicated for the following areas and industries::

• Metallurgy;

• Welding;

• Steelmaking;

• Foundries;

• Cement plant;

• Metal mechanics;

• Paper And Cellulose;

• Mounting;

• Mining;

• Services in general;

• Other areas that need resistance to abrasion, cutting as well as flying particles.

Extra line

The Extra Line is crafted from a selected high-quality cowhide material to meet the need for protection combined with comfort and precision of movement. It has different thicknesses of leather, and the modeling has different designs, available in different sizes.

The Extra Line is highly indicated for the following areas and industries:

Texíon® G

In Texíon® G, the mixture of carbon fiber and aramid gives the fabric an excellent thermal capacity, which absorbs calories with difficulty and releases it quickly, resisting up to 800 ^oC when exposed to direct flames for up to 5 minutes. Provides excellent protection against flames and splashes of molten metals.

Due to the lightness and comfort, the fabric makes it possible to manufacture light, comfortable and safer garments. We also affirm hitherto additionally that it is intrinsically flameproof, maintaining its characteristics throughout its useful life.

Texíon® G is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Steel industries;

• Foundries;

• Boilers;

• Explosives areas;

• Pulp and paper industries;

• Handling of fuels.

Texíon® W

As a light and comfortable item, Texíon® W is a blended fabric based on flame-resistant aramid (FR viscose) fibers. One of its main features is the fact that the amount of moisture absorbed by the fabric is comparable to cotton, in addition to offering the user extreme comfort, even when used on the skin.

Texíon® W is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Electricity companies;

• Paper and Cellulose;

• Assemblers;

• Assemblies;

• Mining;

• General Services;

• Offshore;

• Chemical industry;

• Electroplating.

Texíon® L

Texíon® L is a fabric with a mix of highly technical fibers, developed to offer the user protection against splashing of molten metals – especially aluminum, flames and other hazards in the casting area. It offers comfort at work and durability, in addition to carrying the feeling of lightness and flexibility.

Texíon® L is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Steelworks;

• Continuous casters;

• Foundries;

• Metallurgy;

• Steelmaking;

• Cement plant;

• Metal mechanics;

• Paper And Cellulose;

• Assemblers;

• Assemblies;

• Mining;

• General Services.

Texíon® MV

Texíon® MV is a blended fabric based on modacrylic fibers and FR cotton, flame resistant, light and comfortable – ideal for making clothes against thermal risks and metal splashes.

Texíon® MV is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Metallurgy;

• Steelmaking;

• Foundries;

• Cement plant;

• Metal mechanics;

• Paper And Cellulose;

• Assemblers;

• Assemblies;

• Mining;

• General Services.

Texíon® S

Texíon® S is a twill type fabric. Its comfort and moisture absorption, typical of cotton, combined with flame retardancy, make this material suitable for use in primary protective clothing and in workplaces where there is exposure to heat or risk of flames, fully complying with NR-10. Polyamide gives the fabric greater resistance to traction and abrasion, generating greater durability.

Texíon® S is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Metallurgy;

• Steelmaking;

• Foundries;

• Cement plant;

• Metal mechanics;

• Paper And Cellulose;

• Assemblers;

• Assemblies;

• Mining;

• General Services.

Texíon® C

Texíon® C is an anti-tear cotton fabric, with a structure of natural fibers resistant to flames. The comfort and moisture absorption, characteristic of cotton, combined with flame retardancy, make this material suitable for use in primary protections – workplaces where there is exposure to heat or risk of flames, fully complying with NR-10. The Rip-Stop structure is reinforced with a double thread in the weft and warp, providing greater resistance and durability.

Texíon® C is indicated for the following areas and industries:

• Metallurgy;

• Steelmaking;

• Foundries;

• Cement plant;

• Metal mechanics;

• Paper And Cellulose;

• Assemblers;

• Assemblies;

• Mining;

• General Services.
