Introduction to the
Sio-Safe™ fabric family
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.
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.
