KEY BENEFITS
Explore the high-level protective benefits of this technology application.
Contiene una barriera affidabile dagli agenti patogeni presenti nel sangue e nei fluidi corporei.
Impedisce la penetrazione delle sostanze chimiche comuni presenti nell’area dell’incendio. Le proprietà della membrana rimangono intatte anche dopo la contaminazione.
Impermeabile nel tempo per mantenere i piedi asciutti e comodi durante il lavoro.
Altamente traspirante, fondamentale per consentire la fuoriuscita del vapore del sudore durante le attività faticose.
La costruzione delle scarpe ottimizzata è più leggera e migliora la mobilità e l’agilità.
Estremamente durevole, è dunque una soluzione conveniente per i lavoratori.
È stato dimostrato che le calzature con i laminati GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® resistono all’esposizione a calore intenso continuando a fornire un’eccellente traspirabilità e un’impermeabilità affidabile.
*Solo per calzature per Vigili del fuoco e soccorritori.
Footwear with GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® moisture barriers leads the industry in providing durable protection and highly breathable comfort for the feet. With the addition of GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® technology, the footwear now also provides a crucial barrier against the penetration of viruses and bacteria found in blood and body fluids as well as against the penetration of common chemicals. No other manufacturer requires the level of testing Gore does to ensure the footwear performs over and above the standards. We begin by ensuring that every boot liner is durably waterproof, then expose the finished boot to a battery of additional tests to ensure it’s ready for the challenge. This means professionals working in emergency situations no longer need to compromise on either comfort or protection: This footwear offers optimum levels of both.
Firefighters and technical rescue responders face several common challenges while working, including foul weather, common chemical exposure and the risk of coming into contact with pathogens found in blood and body fluids.
GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® laminates provide protection against these threats, while also offering unparalleled comfort in the form of breathability. This enables feet to stay dry, less prone to injury. and reduce heat stress that can lead to fatigue. When professionals are running up and down stairs, climbing ladders and navigating through unpredictable terrains while responding to emergencies, their footwear needs to weigh as little as possible so they can perform effectively. Leather boots made with GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® footwear laminate are lightweight, form-fitting, and more comfortable - helping wearers to stay energized for longer. With these benefits combined with the right fit, optimum traction, and flexible movement, boots made with GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® footwear laminate work with the wearer and allows them to focus on the task ahead.
VIGILI DEL FUOCO PER INCENDI STRUTTURALI
Fornisce una protezione ottimale dai rischi comuni che i Vigili del fuoco devono affrontare, inclusi calore e fiamme, sostanze chimiche comuni e agenti patogeni presenti nel sangue e nei fluidi corporei.
SERVIZI DI SOCCORSO TECNICO
Una robusta barriera per i piedi contro i patogeni trasmessi dal sangue e dai fluidi corporei, nonché alcune sostanze chimiche presenti sul luogo dell’emergenza. Vestibilità migliorata, comfort e protezione di lunga durata consentono una maggiore agilità nel rispondere alle emergenze.
CROSSTECH® moisture barriers are tested in accordance with ISO 16604/ASTM F 1671, procedure C, SOP-12-013. For this certification the laminate is tested for its penetration resistance to bloodborne pathogens using the bacteriophage PHI-X174.
