Snickers Workwear catalogue ENG 1
D3O® D3O® smart materials specialise in impact pr
otection and shock absorption. Its unique patented polymer composites contains a chemically engineered dilatant as an energy absorber. The material’s molecules flow freely in standard conditions, but on impact, they lock together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to their flexible state. This unique characteristic provides enhanced impact protection, while providing versatile and flexible materials that can be manufactured for a host of impact protective applications. Note: D3O® does not ”go hard”. Snickers Workwear uses different D3O® material grades specially tuned for a wide range of temperatures that offer enhanced cushioning, long-term comfort and superior impact protection on key contact areas.

LYCRA® T400® LYCRA® T400® fibre provides excellent performance and aesthetics in applications that require low to moderate stretch. It’s a multi-component yarn in which different polymers are joined together within each filament. When exposed to heat, each polymer shrinks to a different degree, producing a smooth helical crimp. Because the crimp is not mechanically induced, the stretch and recovery of LYCRA® T400® fibre is greater and more durable than those of textured yarns. 18% of the polymer is made using renewable plantbased material for a more sustainable lifestyle. advanc ed technology OEKO-TEX® The OEKO-TEX® label indicates the additional benefits of tested safety for skin-friendly clothing and other textiles.
