High-dimensional safety materials with the original technique by Unitika
®
Flame Resistance
“Security relief” environment” “aging society”
We focus On these three things
and carry out material development.
We positively work on uniform business in the specialized field
which is needed specialfunction.
And we've developed safety materials
which clear the global standard by making continuous developmental effort
and utilizing accumulation of the technique.
Protexa is the strongest coined word
that combined protection and hexagon.
We hold the strong conviction about protexa.
“It keep person safety and make relief'
Please look forward to growth in the protexa.

Flame retardant materials
®
“PROTEXA-FR” is flame retardant material which is safety and comfort.
It excels in self-extinguishing. In case of catching fire, a wear is carbonized without
melting and protect a wearer safely.
This material is also tolerant to adherence of acid, alkali, etc.
Safety
Moreover, it excels in antifouling and hygroscopicity like a cotton.
That’ s why it’ s very comfortable in the hot weather.

The feature of retardant materials 'PROTEXA-FR'
Flame retardance
The limiting oxygen index is highly excellent in self-extinguishing.
When a cloth catches on fire, it is carbonized without melting and protect a wearer safely.
Chemical resistant property
Since this material has durability of chemical, it minimize the damage from acid, alkali,oil etc.
Hydrophilic nature
Since it excels in hydrophilic, grease can be easily dropped off by normal home laundry.
Water absorption properties
Since it has the water-absorbing property and hygroscopicity efficiency almost same as
cotton,the material is suitable for the workers in the hot weather.
Gentle wear
Comfortable clothing similar to cotton.

High visibility material
®
High-visibility material is needed if you work when there is low light and poor visibility, especially if you are
working around moving vehicles(cars,trucks or other machinery traveling under their own power-e.g.
forklifts,backhoes,etc). High-visibility items allow you to be seen by the drivers of those vehicles sooner and more
readily.This fact increases your safety at work.
Standard
Chromaticity and brightness are prescribed as safety garments in international standard ISO and European
standard EN-ISO20471.
PROTEXA-HV cleared these standards.

ISO20471 is a standard about high visibility
safe dress.
EN-ISO20471 is a European standard revised
by EN471, and the standard values are the
same as ISO20471.
Both standards hold a rule about Day-Glo
material and the hue (a chromaticity coordinate, luminosity) of the safe dress, sewing
specification, and physical properties.

High antistatic property material
®
"PROTEXA-AS” clear the IEC standard which is an international standard.
This antistatic material keeps surface resistivity low level and lessen the bad
effect to the electrical product.
The feature of high level antistatic material protexaAS.
・This material is using the polyester conductive yarn MEGANA which surface resistivity is less than 107Ω.
・This material has a durability of washing.
About IEC
The lnternational Electrotechnical Commisson (IEC) is the world's leading organization that prepares
and publishes lnternational Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
Over 10,000 experts from industry, commerce, government, test and research labs, academia and
consumer groups participate in IEC Standardization work.
Difference between IEC and JIS T-8118
The international standard for the purpose of reducing the electrostatic outbreak of the product.

Clothe is continuous at electrically.
Surface resistivity is under 1.0x1012Ω.
In case the cloth can ground,surface resistivity between two point is under 1.0x109Ω.
JIS T8118 is the Japanese standard, and the purpose of this standard prevent ignition
and explosion by the spark.

The cooling material for the summertime
®
"SARACOOL" is the cooling material for the summertime which has two
excellent features:this product keeps the cool in your cloths,and presents you
the comfortable touch.
It has two or three times as good performance of solar‐ ray interception(30-50%
penetrability) as the ordinary materials(regular polyester / cotton),and lower the
inside temperature of the cloths more than 3oC under the summer sunshine.

Core: High concentration special ceramic
polyester kneaded
Sheath: Polyester
Protect you from hot summer sunshine.
"SARACOOL" makes you cool efficiently by the new ceramic material of high density mixed in
the polyester textile and protecting you from the infrared rays,visible rays and ultraviolet rays.
Keep inside your cloths free from sultriness and stuffiness.
The unique multi-piled structure of this material absords and evaporates the perspiration out of
your cloths rapidly, and keeps the inside of your cloth free from the sultriness and stuffiness.

High quality & High functional comfortable material
®
®
PALPA® is a special construction fiber which is made of
polyester fiber core and covered with cotton as a sheath
part.
Compare with mono polyester fiber, PALPA® has good
sweat absorption and diffusion.
Also, PALPA® has easy-care properties which 100%
cotton does not have, therefore
PALPA® is one of the ideal material which has each
advantage of cotton and polyester.
This type of sheath-core construction can be use for
many kind of application because
of the several variation of sheath-core each part of
material combination.
Polyester
Cotton
Highly quality cotton surface serves soft and gentle
touch for the skin, it is almost 100% cotton feeling.
Polyester core which is covered with cotton sheath part
does not make surface piling.
Crease-free is one of the advantage of PALPA®,
compare with 100% cotton fabric.

Heat insulation & storage material
®
"Thermotron" simultaneously stores two forms of hart‐the heat from the sun and
the heat from the body.
UNITIKA TRADINGS’ state of‐ the‐art technology has succeeded in harnessing
the inexhaustible energy of sun to ensure apparel comfort.
Thermotron redefines “thermal insulation” so it means effective heat storage
coupled with secure prevention of heat leakage.
