MASCOT Technologies
MASCOT has developed its own textile brands to be able to offer you the best products. Below, you will find information about the brands’ features and benefits, so you know what to look for.
Stay warm with CLIMASCOT®-lining
Benefit from a lining of the brand CLIMASCOT® Lightweight Insulation. Besides having a high insulating power, CLIMASCOT® gives you a breathable lightweight material that takes up very little room when compressed. Recycled polyester is used in CLIMASCOT® in order to protect our environment and to reuse as many resources as possible. The CLIMASCOT® lining is thus made from 35% recycled polyester.
Removal of moisture effectively
You give off a lot of heat and moisture when you move around. Preferably, moisture should be dissipated from the body so you don’t get the feeling of being soaked, as this can easily lead to you becoming cold. The right clothes will help you remain comfortable even with high activity levels, as they quickly lead moisture away from the body. MASCOT has clothing made from MASCODRY®, which can handle this for you so you can concentrate on work instead.
Durability in the cold.
Bearnylon® is water and stain resistant, extremely durable and is used primarily as an outer material in MASCOT’s winterwear. Bearnylon® gives products a long life and when combined with a lining, provides insulating properties.
Perfect protection against wind and water
On days with heavy rain you need workwear made from MASCOTEX®. MASCOTEX® is a fabric with a breathable laminate on the back that makes the material waterproof. It is certified to EN 343, the European norm for protection against rain. When MASCOT® makes workwear in MASCOTEX®, all seams are taped so your MASCOTEX® product is 100% waterproof. It is also breathable so you can work comfortably at a fast pace.
Protection against flames and embers
PyroPro® is MASCOT’s anti-static, acid resistant and flame retardant fabric used in the MASCOT® MULTISAFE range. The fabric gets its flame retardant properties from a chemical surface treatment. The fabric also protects against arcs and occasional welding. Products in this fabric are approved according to EN ISO 11612 (A1, B1, C1, E1), EN ISO 14116 (index 3/50x75° C), EN 1149-3, EN 1149-5, ENV 50354/EN 61482-1-2 (class 1), EN ISO 11611 and EN 13034.
Maximum protection against the cold
Thermax® is an insulating, triple layered material developed by MASCOT®. It is used primarily in our thermal underwear as the material is extremely insulating. The fabric is developed for use in very low temperatures and for low activity work in cold environments. It is designed so that the inner polyester layer channels moisture away from the body out to the cotton and modal fibres in the outer layer, so your skin always feels dry. The outer layer of the fabric is also insulating and helps to keep the heat in.
MASCOLAYER® nail protection
MASCOLAYER® nail protection is a textile midsole that guarantees protection against nails and sharp objects underneath the footwear. This type of nail protection is extremely flexible, soft and light. Some of the benefits of MASCOLAYER® nail protection include making the footwear more flexible. This in turn provides excellent protection against cold and heat and increases comfort for the user. As MASCOLAYER® nail protection is a textile nail protection, you can get a shoe that is 100% metal free and therefore conducts neither heat nor cold.
Workwear
MASCOT carefully selects the textile brands used in the workwear. Each textile brand is selected based on its unique properties in order to offer you the absolute best quality. You can read more about the different brands and their advantages and properties below.
Stronger than steel
Some situations demand extraordinary durability. By using Dyneema® in the kneepad pocket material, MASCOT combines properties such as stretch and extreme durability with low weight. The ultra-strong and very durable fibre Dyneema® helps increase the kneepad pocket’s durability while maintaining the comfort when working in kneeling situations.
Fabric for everday wear and tear
High durability is crucial when you are working at a fast pace. Holster pockets and ruler pockets have to stand the pressure when tools, nails and screws are taken in and out of the pockets countless times during the day. MASCOT ensures durability by using lots of CORDURA® fabric on all the exposed places, such as kneepad pockets, holster pockets and ruler pockets. CORDURA® fabric is in fact seven times stronger than cotton. We use both 1000D CORDURA® (quality 11) and the lighter 500D CORDURA® (quality 12).
Leading in moisture wicking
COOLMAX® is the market leader with regard to moisture dispersion. Use MASCOT COOLMAX® garments when choosing clothing that is worn close to the skin, i.e. underwear and socks. COOLMAX® quickly transports moisture away from the skin and disperses it through the fabric where it can evaporate quickly. With the help of COOLMAX®, your skin never feels damp and you avoid any undesirable cooling of the body. Choose products that combine COOLMAX® and wool (quality 871) for two functions in one: efficient moisture wicking and extra insulation. Products containing COOLMAX® are soft, easy to wash and quick-drying.
