Geo • Adapted for reinforcingasphalt • The basic principal in our solution is the absorption and dispersion ofenergywithin the textileinsteadof in e.G. An asphaltpavement. • We adapttextileconstructionthrough the choice of absorption requirements, yarnfibre and design.
Our own material brand with alternatives for the PPE and the Security business area. • A high performance power sawprotection. • Years of research, tough testing and constanteffortsto make new technicaladvances are key to the material.
Thesis Background: We wanttoincrease the comfortin ourchainsawprotection material. Forest worksers want’s to have trousers that are not to heavy and thick and also transport moisture. Assignment: Help us to find out how to increase the comfort in chainsaw protection material? Which parameters affect the comfort in our material? Helpuswithsomecomfortmeasurements for example air permeability on Swerea IVF. Compensation: Engtex willgivecompension for the thesis.
