Fabric Descriptions

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100:
The fabrics used for our Stancord and Comfort qualities and our EN 471 protective clothing are all tested according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 ensuring body-friendly garments. In the production no formaldehyde or other toxins are used, neither is chlorine used in the bleaching process. Prohibited Azo-dyestuffs and nickelous buttons/ zippers are not applied either.

MATCHFORM:
Through many years of experience with production of both workwear and men's wear we have trimmed the fit and material to obtain the optimum design for our models. Engel workwear models are developed according to the new MATCHFORM system which is an ergonomic tested system granting the wearer maximum freedom of movement at work via cut, stitching and material choice.

FE-TEX MEMBRANE CLOTHING:
FE-Tex membrane clothing provides effective protection against the effects of wind and water while ensuring that the body can breath. The special fibre structure of the FE-Tex membrane ensures that body heat and moisture can pass through the membrane while external influences are prevented from entering. Particularly suitable for work requiring heavy physical exertion which generates a high level of body heat.

STANCORD+:
Our Stancord+ products are marked with the EC-Flower which ensures that the fabric used is among the least environmental impacting fabrics - without deteriorating the quality or the efficiency. The Flower is the European ecolabel that guarantees that the products are tested for chemical remnants that are harmful to health and the environment. By using ecolabelled products, you can be sure to buy workwear of a high environmental quality that independent competent bodies have submitted to thorough tests over and over again.
