Juba launches a new pair of trousers inside the Kasual Range; the new reference 988 SUMMER with a tight fabric is ideal for the next change of seasons and even for the hotter months. The material used for the dressmaking is very breathable what helps to expel sweating. Thanks to its composition with elastane it is very flexible and comfortable. This model is exclusively commercialised in brown colour, a novel colour with a modern style. It is moreover acceptable for the dirtiest environments. Two reflective stripes have been added in the knees for a better night visibility. The elastic in the waist makes an easy adaptation of the body of each user. As usual in Juba workwear’s catalogue, the trouser is available in a wide range of sizes, from S to 3XL, being appropriated for women too. It has two front pockets and one more at the back with a zipper closer.

Juba has recently incorporated to its glove’s catalogue and new range “Juba Kids” a model designed for kids specially thought up as an educational toy. These gloves are made in natural latex and have been submitted under a chlorinated treatment to reduce allergy risks. They are cotton flocked in the interior to absorb sweat. The form is anatomical and they are waterproof. The gloves have a number in each finger to facilitate the numeric learning. They are adequate to paint directly with the hands or with paint brush, to collaborate with the care and watering of plants or in a vegetable patch or even help in house works or the cleaning of the pets. Keep learning and having fun with the hands clean! It is commercialized with a header card for the point-of-sale in one size for kids between 4 and 6 years old.

Engineered yarns are one of the greatest innovations in manufacturing cut-resistant work gloves over the last few decades. Created by combining two or more fibres, the threads produced in this process make work gloves more resistant to cutting, whilst also providing great dexterity and touch. Engineered yarns are responsible for this great step forward in protecting workers' hands but... what are they exactly? These threads are the result of manufacturing using two or more fibres, with infinite combinations. The high-resistance components such as Kevlar® or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) such as Dyneema® are used in the core of the engineered yarn that can become more resistant to cutting by combining this central thread with other fibres. The Dyneema® fibre is polyethylene with an ultra high molecular weight known as UHMWPE, developed and patented in 1990 by Dutch multinational DSM. It is manufactured in a patented spinning process where the fibres are stretched, heated, lengthened and cooled. The stretching and turning encourage molecular alignment, high crystallisation and low density, all giving it great cutting resistance. Dyneema® has extremely long molecular chains that transfer the load more effectively to the polymer skeleton. Therefore, it is stronger at the same weight or lighter with the same strength as alternative products. Up to 15 times stronger than steel (weight for weight). Up to 40% stronger than aramid fibres (weight for weight) The Juba catalogue includes cut-resistant work gloves manufactured using different engineered yarns. Here are a few examples of how to combine different threads to obtain cut-resistant gloves intended for a variety of uses.   4400. Dyneema® fibre + fibreglass Uses: Naval and wind-power construction.

Several jobs inevitably imply exposing our hands to the cold. This can lead to a variety of injuries or diseases, some very serious, if the right measures are not taken. Standards The UNE-EN 511:2006 standard specifies requirements and test methods for work gloves that protect our hands against convective and conductive cold down to -50 °C. Marking All gloves should be marked with this pictogram (picture on the right), distinguishing insulation levels for convective cold (a), contact cold (b) and water penetration (c). Types of jobs that require cold protection gloves: - Jobs in cold chambers: including chambers that keep food fresh between 2°C and 8°C and others that freeze food below -25°C, etc. - Open air jobs: farming, road maintenance, airport ground crew... night shifts (fishermen, security staff, etc.) or working at a considerable height (vertical work, etc.), etc. - Indoor work with no heating: particularly if this is sedentary work, such as security staff guarding the inside of a factory, work sitting down, etc. - Jobs in contact with cold water or handling wet and/or cold objects, such as fishermen, working on oil platforms, handling frozen food, assembling metal components, etc. For jobs where hands must be protected not only against the cold but also from water, Juba has included items in its catalogue featuring special membranes and 100% watertight work gloves. Our recommendations:   H260 - New! Work glove with synthetic leather on the palm, an elastane back and a reflective strip across the knuckles. Exclusive packaging in individual wrapping for sales points. 411CFV - Glove made of water-repellent full-grain leather with a Thinsulate® lining (40 g), suitable for temperatures down to -10ºC 6k30 - Robust glove, 100% waterproof. Resistant to salt and chemical products. Gloves with Actifresh® treatment that prevents unpleasant odours and eliminates bacteria caused by sweat plus the Sanitized® treatment that prevents skin irritation. 5658TH - 100% waterproof. Resistant to chemical products. Removable thermal lining inner glove, made out of acrylic looped fabric that maintains hand temperature effectively. Very comfortable, quick dry. Actifresh® treatment that prevents unpleasant odours 5130W - PVC-covered palm with HPT technology (Hydropellent TechnologyTM). The terry-loop fabric inside keeps hand temperature stable when temperatures drop to around 0º C. Suitable for food use according to Regulation 10/2011 CRYOPLUS - Work glove with an inner polyester fleece lining or greater thermal insulation and Porelle® membrane that makes it breathable whilst stopping liquids from penetrating it.   *** By clicking this link, you can access all work gloves in the Juba catalogue offering special cold protection.

  The H257 Feel&Grip work glove by Juba has received its second award so far this year. Considering its technology, safety and respect for the environment, Cecofersa gave it the 3rd special prize for Innovation 2017 in the hardware and industrial supply sector. The palm design of this work glove is equipped with micro-suckers using ANR technology, giving maximum grip in wet and dry environments. CECOFERSA, currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, is the largest Spanish Distribution Chain for Industrial Hardware and Industrial Supplies. It has more than 120 member companies and 250 establishments in Spain and Portugal.
