In the market for Protective Clothing Ames Europe is an important player as development partner and producer of substrates for PVC and PU coatings and linings.

High quality knitted fabrics have been developed for the protective clothing sector with (semi) permanent flame retardant, anti bacterial or anti-static properties. These products are suitable for PVC and PU coatings and breathable membranes such as PTFE, PU and PE.
