MICROFIBRE TECHNOLOGY

At SHOWA we believe that comfort is as important as the protection, which is why we reduced the weight and improved the efficiency of our new models. In order to offer this premium combination, we engineered a microfibre fabric using MFT PRO.

WHAT IS MICROFIBRE?

Microfibre is a synthetic fabric with very small fibres or threads. The diameter of microfibre is about 20 times smaller than human hair. The most common types of microfibres are made from polyesters, polyamides or a combination of polyester, polyamide and polypropylene.

Microfibre is used to make mats, knits and weaves for apparel, upholstery, industrial filters and cleaning products. The shape, size and combinations of synthetic fibres are selected for specific characteristics, including softness, toughness, absorption, water repellency, electrostatics and filtering.

MFT PRO FACTS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LOW MAINTENANCE MICROFIBRE

  • [ 1 ] Breathable fabric
  • [ 2 ] Retains original shape
  • [ 3 ] Comfort is similar to natural fibres and soft
  • [ 4 ] High-performance moisture-wicking ability
  • [ 5 ] Enhanced durability
  • [ 6 ] Lightweight
  • [ 7 ] Easily maintained and cleaned

DID YOU KNOW?

Microfibre fabric is widely used in the clothing industry because of its absorption property. Athletes often use microfibre clothing, such as cycling jerseys, to improve their performances during competitions, as it provides a high capacity to absorb sweat while avoiding irritation.

TAKE COMFORT AND PROTECTION TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Professionals need optimized grip and maximum comfort when performing tasks that require extended wear and durability while keeping hands dry and cool at the same time. For workers who move between tasks from general handling to intricate assembly, requiring high abrasion performance, dexterity, finger sensitivity and comfort, SHOWA MFT PRO range is the ideal multipurpose solution. It provides the lightest SHOWA microporous nitrile coated glove supported by a microfibre liner with enhanced gradeability.

Only fibres smaller than 1 denier can be called microfibres. As an example, MFT PRO 381 microfibre is 0.52 denier thick and the whole glove weighs only 19 grams.

Its comfort is further enhanced as breathability and moisture evaporation has increased by 20% compared to our standard offering.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Firstly, the glove coatings grant exceptional grip in 381 grants exceptional while allowing warm air and moisture from inside to escape, thus keeping your hands dry.

Secondly, the MFT PRO liner absorbs perspiration and moisture quickly. Due to the cohesive properties of water, the water molecules are pulled along the thin fibres of the microfibre material. The large surface area created by numerous fibres allows microfibre materials to hold over 6 times their weight in liquid. At the same time the larger surface area and heat from the hand trigger faster evaporation, where drying time is 20% shorter than our standard gloves.

This results in cooler and dryer hands.
