Sio-Safe™

Reliable multinorm protection

Introduction to the
Sio-Safe™ fabric family

The Sio-Safe™ fabric family brings together a wide variety of high-quality multinorm fabrics. Each fabric has been designed to meet demanding safety requirements while offering durability, comfort and compatibility with industrial laundering. To make it easier to recognise and select the right fabric, the family is divided into four clear sub-groups, supported by a set of modifiers that further enhance specific properties.

Sio-Safe™ Essential

The reliable treated FR solution

Sio-Safe™ Extra

The durable inherent FR choice

Sio-Safe™ Supra

The heavy-duty FR fabric

Sio-Safe™ Aqua

The waterproof FR protection

The Sio-Safe™ modifiers

Beyond the four main groups (Essential, Extra, Supra, Aqua), Sio-Safe™ fabrics can be extended with specific modifiers that highlight additional benefits. Each group exists in a base version, but can also carry one or more modifiers, giving you the flexibility to choose the fabric that best suits your work environment.

  • Eco – made with recycled or other environmentally friendly materials, reducing environmental impact while maintaining multinorm protection

  • Light– offers lightweight multinorm protection that reduces bulk without compromising safety, ideal for long shifts or warm working conditions

  • Flex – incorporates stretch for greater freedom of movement and improved ergonomics, especially in tasks requiring frequent bending, reaching or mobility

  • Spark – offers heavier multinorm protection (± 450 g/m²) designed for welding and allied processes, providing extra resistance to sparks and molten metal

Because the modifiers can be applied individually or together, highly specialised fabrics are possible. For example: Sio-Safe™ Extra Eco Light Flex combines inherent flame-retardancy with eco-friendly design, reduced weight and enhanced flexibility.

When to use Sio-Safe™ fabrics

Sio-Safe™ fabrics are the right choice whenever work involves exposure to heat, flames, electric ARC hazards, sparks or molten metal, whether or not combined with harsh weather or heavy wear. By choosing the fabric group with the modifiers that meet your needs, you ensure your protective clothing is tailored to the risks and conditions of your job.
