Fabrics
The core of BASIC LINE lies in its fabric. That is why strict quality requirements are set early on, at the selection of the fabrics, which are subsequently subject to a multitude of tests to achieve the best result.
This resolute approach results in durable, hard-wearing and colourfast fabrics, in which comfort and design are of fundamental importance as well.
POLYESTER-COTTON
(PESCO 61, 65% polyester - 35% cotton, +/- 245 g/m²)
This hard-wearing fibre combination ensures durable fabrics that are also very comfortable to wear at the same time. The blend of polyester and cotton offers high colour fastness, even in case of regular high-temperature washing. Thanks to its well-known qualities, this fabric is widely used in various sectors such as construction, road works and the service industries.
COTTON
(CO 40 - 100% cotton, +/- 300 g/m²)
This cotton variant is used to extend the BASIC LINE work trousers collections. Clothing manufactured from cotton always has a very comfortable feel by nature. In addition, the insulation and ventilation properties constitute added value for work clothing applications. CO 40, the cotton variant used, guarantees a stronger and durable fabric, which benefits the life span of the cotton piece of clothing. When purchasing cotton clothing please always take into account the susceptibility to shrinkage during the first washes.
SOFT SHELL
(PES 19 - 94% polyester - 6% elastane, +/- 280 g/m²)
Soft shell is a light and flexible material that ensure excellent freedom of movement and outstanding comfort. The layered laminated fabric ensures its wearer an excellent insulation. This permeable fast drying, wind resistant material is suitable for daily use in different weather conditions. The interior of soft shell garments is often padded with a fleece fabric for optimal insulation.
FLEECE
(PES 16 - 100% polyester, +/- 260 g/m²)
Fleece is a knitted and brushed fabric that is both flexible and insulating. This synthetic textile keeps its wearer warm while providing a great transport of transpiration moisture. Since fleece is not completely windproof, it is often worn as a middle layer for optimal insulation in combination with a light and flexible fabric such as soft shell.
HIGH VISIBILITY FABRIC
(PESCO 73, 80% polyester - 20% cotton, +/- 280 g/m²)
High visibility is created through reflective strips on the one hand and through fluorescent material processed into the piece clothing on the other hand. The high-visibility fabric BASIC LINE processes in high-visibility clothing consists of a blend of polyester and cotton. This combination results in a durable fabric that is furthermore very comfortable to wear. Combined with the water-repellent and fluorescent follow-up treatment, all clothing manufactured from this fabric meets the EN 20471:2013(+A1:2016) high-visibility standards.
FLAME-RETARDANT FABRIC
(CO 73, 100% cotton, +/- 330 g/m²)
A durable cotton fabric that offers excellent protection for welding and allied processes after a flame-retardant finish. This fabric combines the comfort to wear as well as all insulation and ventilation advantages of cotton with advanced flame-retardant protection. This fabric is therefore appropriately applied in the entire BASIC LINE flame-retardant collection, all garments of which have been certified in accordance with the European ISO standards for welding and heat-resistant clothing (EN ISO 11611:2007 welding clothing, EN ISO 11612:2008 heat-resistant clothing).
FLAME-RETARDANT AND ANTISTATIC FABRIC WITH PROTECTION AGAINST CHEMICALS AND ELECTRIC ARCS
(COPES 75, 75% cotton - 24% polyester - 1% Negastat, +/- 290 g/m²)
For protective clothing in flame-retardant and antistatic material, BASIC LINE consciously selects materials of European origin. The fabric in cotton-polyester, with cotton as its main constituent, obtains its antistatic quality through the incorporation of carbon fibre into the weave. In addition, extra fabric treatments provide protection against liquid chemicals and electric arcs. All clothing manufactured from this fabric has been certified in accordance with the following European standards: IEC 61482-2:2009, EN ISO 11612:2015, EN ISO 11611:2015, EN 1149-5:2008 and EN 13034:2005+A1:2009.
HIGH VISIBILITY FLAME-RETARDANT AND ANTISTATIC FABRIC WITH PROTECTION AGAINST CHEMICALS AND ELECTRIC ARCS
(COPES 77, 50% cotton - 49% polyester - 1% Negastat, +/- 345 g/m²)
For protective clothing in flame-retardant and antistatic material, BASIC LINE consciously selects materials of European origin. The fabric in cotton-polyester, with cotton as its main constituent, obtains its antistatic quality through the incorporation of carbon fibre into the weave. In addition, extra fabric treatments provide protection against liquid chemicals and electric arcs. All clothing manufactured from this fabric has been certified in accordance with the following European standards: IEC 61482-2:2009, EN ISO 11612:2015, EN ISO 11611:2015, EN 1149-5:2008, EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 and EN ISO 20471:2013.
