Topaz power guard: excellent repellency against gasoline
Topaz power guard, a multifunctional finish
developed by Trans-Textil,
guarantees safety in challenging
situations
by providing turnout
gear
with very good repellency against
gasoline, excellent repellency
against
water and
outstanding repellency against mineral oil. Even
after the
clothing has undergone multiple wash
cycles.
Flame-retardant
laminates
treated with topaz power guard provide additional protection
against direct
contact
with liquid fuels, such as gasoline and kerosene,
and are used by
the police in special operations
apparel and
also in the protective
clothing
deployed in oil refineries.

Topaz Dual Guard
Topaz Dual Guard protects apparel in a double way - not only does the novel
finish lastingly repel water, oil and dirt, it also offers improved wash removal
of
oil and graphite stains, thus helping EN 471 protective clothing to retain
its high
visibility for a longer period. Topaz Dual Guard also offers all the conventional
product features required
for personal protective equipment and along with
enhanced longevity, ensures economic efficiency with regard
to industrial
washing and finishing procedures.

Topaz airtouch
Topaz airtouch will prove to be a real lightweight in clothing use. Applied in
fine droplets to the membrane involved, the new coating protects the
membrane from wear and tear and results in a laminate that can be worn
directly against the skin, doing away for the need for a lining. As an additional
advantage, Topaz airtouch coatings
are made on an eco-friendly aqueous
basis, and can also be modified or upgraded for specific applications.

Topaz bimicro
Trans-Textil is placing a further new development on the market in the form
of
the Topaz bimicro membrane. This unprecedented product combines the
characteristics of a microporous ePTFE membrane with those of an equally
microporous protective polymer layer for high water
vapour transmission and
variable air porosity at high water
impermeability. Topaz bimicro can be optionally upgraded with
Cocona® natural technology™ utilizing activated
carbon derived from coconut husks.
