Flexothane® fabric of Sioen makes a (big) difference for farmers all over the world

We launch a minifilm that demonstrates this.

For almost 55 years now, Sioen has been providing the agricultural industry with protective garments. The Flexothane® fabric, is the cornerstone in this success. This fabric is produced in our state-of-the-art production plant in Mouscron (Belgium) and then shipped to our manufacturing plants for clothing all over the world.

In this new minifilm that was made during a photoshoot in Ireland last week, you can see just how Flexothane® makes the difference.

About the fabric:

Flexothane® respects the original ‘classic’ rules of good workmanship, a balanced combination between the properties of the base knitting and a high grade hydrophilic layer applied by state of the art coating technology, which guarantees a high and durable quality and comfort for the wearer. We use a PA 6.6 (which guarantees high colour fastness, excellent RF welding properties of the seams, ...) weft knitted base fabric which with an optimized strength and elasticity balance. That makes Flexothane® Classic such a unique and better product than the competition.

About you:

Put on a Flexothane® coat, and you will feel just how light and flexible Flexothane® really is. It doesn’t restrict your movements in any way, on the contrary, it moves with you. Go out and do some work in the pouring rain, in your stables, or take the high-pressure washer for a cleaning tour.

Underneath your reliable Flexothane® layer you’ll be out of reach of chilly winds and you’ll stay perfectly dry. No need to worry about damaging your garment, the rock solid fabric can take more than you think. Flexothane® is resistant to all sorts of oil derivatives, greases, milk and even to some chemicals and blood-borne pathogens. The smooth surface can easily be wiped clean. And after a whole day of hard labour, you can just take off your jacket, throw it in the washing machine and sit back and relax. Because Flexothane® is perfectly machine washable.

Attuned to an intensive day in day out use, a durable Flexothane® garment never lets you down offering the best value for money a hard working (wo)man can get.
