General Specifications
Safety First Sales Limited achieve the protection required in each apron by using vinyl sheets with a lead equivalency of .25LE & .175LE.
Multiple laminates of lead vinyl result in three possible Lead Equivalencies of .25 LE, .35 LE and .50 LE.
The lead vinyl is sewn between two sheets of either PVC or PU coated nylon (the coating being on the reverse side of the nylon to help water repulsion). For comfort, Nylon would normally be used on the inside of the apron. The outer material is determined by the aprons' intended use. PVC is easier to clean (when necessary) than nylon.
The average weight of aprons supplied are as follows:
Lightweight – average weight of 3.30 kg/m2.
Superlight – average weight of 3.00 kg/m2.
All weights and measurements carry a +/- 10 % tolerance

All tests have been carried out in accordance with IEC 61331-1:2002
In most of our products, we have improved levels of comfort and assisted posture. All aprons incorporate shoulder padding where the design allows, many of them are supplied with a lumbar support belt (LSB). The belt (when used correctly) allows for the redistribution of the aprons weight from the shoulders only onto the hip, at the same time giving additional support to the back in the lumbar region.
