Elastics that protect and preserve

Comfortable narrow textiles for work, health and sport

With an area of around 1.8 square metres and a weight of 3.5 to 10 kilograms, the skin is the largest and heaviest organ in the human body. It serves as a barrier against heat, injuries and infections. Narrow textiles from JUMBO-Textil protect and preserve this important organ.

Comfortable: waistbands on gloves, sleeves and trousers

On gardening gloves, uniform sleeves or work or sports trousers – elasticated woven waistbands are often used in places where people are active for many hours. The skin is often exposed to heat, UV light and other irritants. Our elasticated woven tape not only offers a particularly high level of comfort. It also protects the skin from these stressors.

Comfortable: textiles for orthoses and prostheses

In addition to workwear and sportswear, orthoses, prostheses and exoskeletons are often worn next to the skin. To ensure that users enjoy wearing them, the textiles used must be particularly comfortable, i.e. soft, skin-friendly and of high quality. Like the narrow textiles from JUMBO-Textil: our woven tape with a skin protection layer on both sides ensures that the aids support people in their mobility and at work – and protect their skin.

Ecological: textiles in accordance with strict ecological standards

„At work, in rehabilitation applications or during sport – activities where textiles are worn directly on the skin require particularly skin-friendly products,“ emphasises Jean Poburski, Sales Manager Technical Branches. “Our narrow textiles – such as our Velcro® elasticated belt – are therefore tested and certified in accordance with the particularly strict OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Product Class I.“
