Introduction to the
chemical protection fabrics

Sioen PRO offers high-performance fabrics that protect against chemical hazards while ensuring comfort and durability in demanding work environments. Built on robust polyester bases with specialised coatings, these fabrics are designed to withstand intensive use and exposure to chemicals, oils and fats, while maintaining resistance to tearing and wear.

CHEMTEX

Durable protection for intensive industrial use

CHEMFLEX

Comfortable and flexible protection

CHEMTEX

Durable protection for intensive industrial use

A double-sided PVC-coated polyester fabric designed for intensive industrial use. Chemtex combines strong mechanical resistance with high tear resistance, offering reliable protection against chemicals, oils and fats.

CHEMFLEX

Comfortable and flexible protection

A 100% polyester knit with PVC/PU coating, Chemflex provides chemical, oil and fat protection with inherently flame-retardant and anti-static properties. Its soft, flexible and comfortable feel makes it especially suitable when ease of movement is required.

More options: Flexothane® fabrics for chemical risks

In addition to Chemtex and Chemflex, the Flexothane® range also includes fabrics with chemical protection properties.

  • Flexothane® Classic products such as Banteer and Drangan combine protection against wind and rain with resistance to pesticides and liquid chemicals. They are widely used in agriculture when treating crops with pesticides.

  • Flexothane® Kleen offers weatherproof performance together with protection against liquid chemicals, bloodborne pathogens and infective agents. Examples include Morgat, Killybeg, Nantou and Boulogne, which comply with EN 14605 (spray-tight chemical protective clothing, Type 4) and EN 14126 (protective clothing against infective agents).

When to use these fabrics

Chemical protection fabrics are the right choice whenever work involves exposure to hazardous chemicals, oils or fats. Whether the priority is durability for intensive industrial use, flexibility for greater comfort, or multifunctionality in outdoor environments, our fabric portfolio offers the right solution. Alongside Chemtex and Chemflex, the Flexothane® range also provides protection against pesticides, liquid chemicals, bloodborne pathogens and infective agents, with added weatherproof performance for outdoor use.
