In jobs that require exposure to potentially inclement weather, it is important to differentiate between the properties of waterproof and water-resistant clothing, as these terms refer to two different properties. Waterproof clothing, meaning water-resistant, specifies that it has been designed with materials that will not deteriorate or allow water to seep through in cases of light rain (drizzle) or splashing. Waterproof clothing, on the other hand, ensures that water does not seep in, even in heavy rain or in an environment where there is a high risk of the person feeling the rain on their skin, for example in maritime work. Therefore, the difference between waterproof and water-resistant clothing is obvious. A garment with the characteristic of being waterproof will eventually leak and the professional will notice that the liquid has penetrated the garment. This does not happen if it is a waterproof reference which, of course, must be properly certified according to EN 343 standard which lists the characteristics that garments must have against the influence of bad weather, wind and cold above -5 ° C. Weather protective clothing is classified according to two criteria: its resistance to water penetration and its level of breathability. According to EN 20811, the resistance to water penetration of a fabric must be measured in two different conditions: on the fabric and its new seams and on a treated fabric. The fabric can be considered treated if it has been washed or dry cleaned (5 cycles), has been subjected to abrasion, repeated folding and has been subject to the influence of fuels and oils. To measure the level of breathability of a garment, its resistance to evaporation must be determined. The lower it is, the more breathable the material is considered to be (it lets perspiration escape), while the more breathable the fabric is, the more comfortable it is for the wearer. Which is better waterproof or water-resistant? In most of the possible situations where this type of clothing is to be used, the tendency will be to consider a waterproof garment much better than a water-resistant one. However, it is necessary to assess the specific needs of each professional activity. It is possible that due to the characteristics of a job and the space in which the professional must work, a waterproof garment may not be necessary, so he/she will be able to carry out his/her tasks more comfortably with a waterproof one and the company will avoid investing in the wrong workwear references. Which material is the most waterproof? The fabrics that are considered to provide the best performance in preventing water seepage and provide the best breathability are waterproof fabrics such as gabardine, nylon and polyester. Most importantly, in most cases these textile fibres include a special coating, which prevents water from penetrating the fabric. The most common is polyurethane or PVC and a high thread density. The regulations that waterproof workwear must comply with The legislation in force, under which waterproof workwear must be certified, is the EN 343 standard for protection against the elements, which establishes the materials and seams of protective clothing against rain, snow, fog and humidity. Specifically, garments are made with particular attention to seams, to guarantee waterproofing of the garment because this is the most vulnerable area. This standard specifies the necessary requirements for clothes to offer maximum protection against rain and bad weather, with respect to the highest standards of waterproofness and breathability. Juba's workwear catalogue features various waterproof references. On the one hand, the full waterproof suit with thermo-welded seams made from 100% polyester material on 0.18 mm thick PVC coating, known as ‘IGUAZÚ’, is available in three colours: blue (802RHAZUL), green (802RHVERDE) and yellow (802RHAMARILLO), and it will resist rain and cold. This garment is designed with an internal fixed hood with zip fastening, back and underarm ventilation and an elasticated cuff on the inside of the sleeve. The jacket has a zipped front closure with adjustable drawstring, while the trousers have an elasticated waist and slit pockets. This reference is an example of waterproof workwear. The waterproof alternative in Juba's catalogue is the ‘DANUBIO’ full waterproof suit, also available in three colours: blue (804RHAZUL), green (804RHVERDE) and yellow (804RHAMARILLO). In this case, the waterproofing of the garment is certified for cold and rain, according to the existing regulations, as can be seen in the product description. This is a water suit with the following characteristics: Made from 100% polyurethane on a knitted polyester backing. Polyurethane degrades more slowly than PVC and does not crack, provided it is well maintained. Very elastic and light, which provides great comfort to the user. A fixed outer hood compatible with helmets and caps with drawstring adjustment was included in the design of the jacket. Double zip and placket with button closure. Elasticated cuff to keep out the cold and rain. The trousers of this wetsuit, which can also be purchased separately for tasks where upper body protection is not required, have an elasticated waistband. Waterproof work clothes according to the professional sector First of all, it is important to think about the requirements of a job depending on the needs of both the professionals and the environment in which the professional activity is carried out. In general, waterproof workwear is most commonly used in all outdoor jobs where there is a risk of heavy rain or constant water, from construction to agriculture, gardening or even fishing and all types of work related to the sea. Care for waterproof or water-repellent work clothes The best care is to follow the care label on each garment. Thereafter, this type of clothing should be kept aired on a day-to-day basis so that it does not become caked. In case of soiling, it is advisable to treat the dirtiest areas, e.g. collar, sleeve cuffs or pockets, before putting the garment in the washing machine. In any case, cleaning should never be a recurring action, although most Juba wetsuits can be washed at 30 degrees in the washing machine. Some simple steps to clean a wetsuit: Conventional detergent, fabric softener or bleach should not be used for washing, but it can be an interesting option to opt for liquid products for delicate clothes or special products for technical and outdoor garments that can be rinsed well. Powdered soap should never be used, as it can clog the membrane. All zips and velcro should be closed before putting the garment in the washing machine. Select the delicate programme on your washing machine and the washing temperature, depending on the membrane in question, between 30 and 40 degrees, unless otherwise indicated on the washing label. Then allow the garment to air dry.

The acronym PPE stands for ‘Personal Protective Equipment’ and refers to clothing worn by a professional to protect themselves for visibility, heat/cold protection or, for example, protection against welding sparks. However, workwear should not always be considered as PPE, as there are situations where many garments do not meet the specific guidelines for PPE. PPE workwear is governed by specific regulations for use in each situation. In general, in any sector or professional activity it is very important to know the associated regulations. However, some sectors require additional precision, especially when workers' safety is at risk. What is PPE at work? Occupational PPE is equipment that must be worn by workers to protect them against one or more risks that may pose a threat to their safety or health. Any complement or accessory that is used for the same purpose in the work environment also falls into the category of PPE. In many countries, the mandatory use of PPE is laid down in national occupational health and safety legislation. In addition, international organisations, such as the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA) in the United States, issue guidelines that influence national regulations. When is workwear PPE? The regulations establish when workwear is considered PPE and also the safety characteristics it must meet. But before knowing when it is PPE, it is also important to identify when it is not: The simplest work clothes and those uniforms that are not intended to protect health or physical integrity. The equipment of rescue and rescue services. Protective equipment for military, police, law enforcement and road transport personnel. Any sports equipment for self-defence or deterrence. Portable devices used to detect and signal risks. In addition to differentiating PPE workwear from other types of clothing, there is also a classification of PPE according to the seriousness of the risks from which it protects the worker: Category I PPE: protection against minor risks. Category II PPE: protection against serious hazards, not included in category I or III. Category III PPE: protection against major hazards that may represent a mortal danger or very harmful damage to health. Finally, in PPE clothing, it is necessary to identify those specific risks for which each garment has to be prepared, so the variety available is very extensive, knowing the importance of PPE will help to understand why they are necessary for the prevention of occupational hazards in each workplace. Just focusing on chemicals that may be hazardous, we have the following categories and subcategories of protection that make specific PPE advisable: Exposure to hazardous gases and vapours.ç Exposure to chemicals in liquid form. In the form of a pressurised jet. In the form of liquid spray. In the form of splashes. Exposure to hazardous particles or fibres. Exposure to radioactive particles. Exposure to biological agents. Exposure to electrostatic charges. Exposure to limited flame spread. Juba has a wide selection of disposable coveralls that help protect by creating a barrier to prevent any harmful agents from penetrating. Advice from technical professionals on how to select the most suitable PPE for each work environment. Differences between PPE and workwear In conclusion, PPE and workwear do not refer to the same term. Specifically, there are two key differences between them: PPE workwear is associated with very specific protection regulations depending on the risk to which the worker is exposed. Workwear does not have to follow any specific standards, it can only be guided by the company's image policies. The main function of PPE is to protect workers from certain hazards. On the other hand, workwear is mainly used to create homogeneity among professionals in the same company, to make it easier for clients to recognise them or for corporate image.

Among the workwear products available in Juba's catalogue, it is possible to find different manufacturing materials, some of the most common being cotton and polyester. Both offer optimal properties for different types of work, so it is advisable to know the differences between these two materials, in order to use the best workwear for each situation. Differences between cotton and polyester workwear The differences between cotton and polyester workwear become clearer when you know the properties of each material. We highlight below the most important ones for each: Characteristics of cotton for workwear Cotton is a natural fibre that is recommended for workwear due to its lightness, freshness and comfort, as it is an absorbent and soft fabric. Cotton is insulating, hypoallergenic and will not generate static electricity. In this way, it guarantees good breathability while maintaining body temperature. Cotton is also hard-wearing, so in workwear it can offer good durability. In addition, it does not crease easily and can regain its shape after heating. Characteristics of polyester for work wear Polyester is a polymeric material that stands out in workwear due to its high resistance, lightness and the comfort it provides to the wearer. Due to its characteristics, it is more resistant to stains, including oil and grease. In addition, it is easy to wash and dry. Polyester also has good waterproofing properties, so it is more resistant to rain and contact with liquids. Guide to choosing the right fibre for your work sector Based on these characteristics that help us differentiate the properties of cotton versus polyester, we can better identify which garments to use according to working conditions: In cold environments cotton is more recommendable as it provides a feeling of quality that polyester does not transmit. However, it is waterproof, so it is preferable if the work environment is very humid or wet. However, polyester can be a flammable material, so it is not recommended for workplaces where there is fire or extreme heat. Maintenance is another factor to consider. Polyester can be washed and dried more quickly, so you can have work clothes in perfect condition in less time. In case you need protection from rain, polyester's waterproof properties make it more recommendable. Juba's polyester clothes include the 740DN THERMAL UNDERWEAR thermal T-shirt made from 73% polyester, 22% polyamide and 5% Lycra. This thermal T-shirt has an intelligent fabric (ACTIVE PRO), with thermal regulation and sweat evacuation, which adapts to environmental conditions and guarantees optimum comfort. If what you need is a workwear item made from cotton, Juba's workwear catalogue features a number of references made from this material. Among them, Juba's 100% cotton coveralls are available in two colours: traditional blue and navy blue. Coveralls are a basic garment for many trades and types of work, both indoor and outdoor; as it is a complete piece, it covers the worker's body completely and protects it from dirt and other aggressions without leaving areas uncovered. At Juba we have a line of work wear made exclusively with cotton, including trousers, polos and T-shirts, jackets and coveralls in navy blue and navy blue In addition, among Juba's most outstanding models is 770 Nature, a 100% organic cotton polo shirt, made without chemical substances that may be harmful to some sensitive skins. This cotton polo also has the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), a certificate that encompasses the process of gathering raw materials, going through manufacturing to labelling in an environmentally and socially responsible way with at least 70% certified organic natural fibres, in order to offer guarantees of safety and credibility to consumers.

Safety gloves are an essential piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for professionals who work with chainsaws or, of course, people who use this tool in their daily domestic life. Although indispensable in various tasks such as pruning, tree felling and forestry work, they also represent a high risk of serious injury. Therefore, selecting the right gloves not only protects hands from cuts and abrasions, but can also make the difference between a safe job and an accident. At Juba, we want to explore the importance of work safety gloves designed specifically for chainsaw use. We'll cover their key features, materials of construction, safety regulations and tips for choosing the right gloves. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an occasional chainsaw user, this guide will help you decide how to protect your hands effectively.    How chainsaw cutting gloves protect your hands The main function of chainsaw gloves is to protect the professional's hands from potential accidents during work, and one of the key elements of this protection is the layers of anti-cut material on the back of the glove.  Depending on the model, the number of layers may change, increasing or decreasing the level of protection offered. The materials used in these layers also play a crucial role, and can range from Kevlar linings, which offer exceptional cut resistance, to leather fabrics and synthetic reinforcements that enhance the durability and comfort of the glove. In addition, there are multiple options for additional protection that can be incorporated to maximise safety, thus adapting to the specific needs of each task and user. Choosing the right glove requires taking into account both the type of work to be carried out and the level of protection required, thus ensuring that the operator's hands are always well protected against any eventuality.   Other characteristics of chainsaw gloves Chainsaw gloves have a wide variety of features to adapt to each type of activity and offer the best protection and comfort to the user. Among the available options, some models stand out for including high quality leather, which provides exceptional softness, flexibility, and an unbeatable feel, ideal for those looking for a comfortable experience without sacrificing safety. In addition, many of these gloves are designed with stretch textile inserts in strategic areas, which significantly improve hand mobility when handling various tools, thus offering greater freedom of movement without compromising protection. The adjustable wrist closure is also a common and highly valued feature, as it allows the glove to be adjusted for optimal support, preventing it from slipping during work. In the Juba catalogue, some references include gloves with a water repellency treatment, which adds the advantage of water repellency. This feature is particularly useful to prevent the professional's hands from getting wet and the glove from retaining water, thus maintaining comfort and functionality in wet conditions. The combination of these elements makes chainsaw gloves not only a protective tool, but also a complement that facilitates the performance of the most demanding tasks.   Choosing the right chainsaw gloves Chainsaw gloves can be very different, so it is important to choose those that best suit the needs of each type of work. Never lose sight of the specific regulations for this sector. Gloves for use with chainsaws must meet the Mechanical risk standard (EN388:2016) with a level 2 abrasion resistance, a level 1 blade cut resistance, a level 2 tear resistance and a level 2 puncture resistance. Once these values have been obtained, the glove will be certified according to EN ISO 11393-4:2019. The protection against cutting by chain saws must be assessed by the chain speed. In this case, it would be obtained: Class 0 corresponds to a speed of 16 metres per second. Class 1 corresponds to a speed of 20 metres per second. Class 2 corresponds to a speed of 24 metres per second. Class 3 corresponds to a speed of 28 metres per second. This standard also defines the design: Gloves with design A will have cut protection in the metacarpal area, but not on the fingers or thumb. Design B gloves apply to three-fingered gloves and mittens, which protect both the metacarpal area and the fingers, except for the thumb. And finally, the standard will define: Type 1 when the protection is on both hands.  Type 2 when the cut protection is only on the left hand. Juba offers different sizes and formats of gloves (length and thickness), as well as different colours from which to choose the most suitable for each job. Specifically, in its firm commitment to offering the most appropriate gloves for each professional sector, Juba has expanded its collection of chainsaw gloves and has just launched two new references: MT160 POWER CUT and MT170RE.   Features of Juba's MT160 and MT170RE gloves Made of natural goatskin: excellent feel, flexibility and safety. Elasticated nylon and neoprene cuff with adjustable closure. Stitched with Kevlar thread for strength and durability. Inserts in fluorine orange, identifying this sector, with elastic fabric in the joints for increased mobility when handling tools. Certified to EN ISO 11393-4:2019 ‘Chain saw cut protection’.           Design A: Cut protection in the metacarpal area.           Type 2: Chain saw cut protection on the left hand, the hand opposite to the hand that handles the tool.           *Juba offers the option of ordering gloves with protection on the right hand for left-handed people or with protection on both hands (Type 1).   Differences between Juba MT160 and MT170RE gloves 26 layers (MT160) vs. 30 layers (MT170RE) of anti-cut material on the back of the left hand. Class 1 (20 M/s MT160) vs. Class 2 (24 M/s MT170RE).  Chain speed.         MT170RE: Skin reinforcement in the area between thumb and index finger on the back of the left hand.   Details of the MT160 POWER CUT gloves: Potential injuries in chainsaw work or safe working practice can never be replaced by chainsaw PPE. Therefore, when working with this type of tool it is essential to follow the instruction manual of both the personal protective equipment and the corresponding machine, as well as any applicable national accident prevention regulations. On the other hand, the standardised tests used to determine protection classes cannot assess factors such as the condition of the chainsaw chain's cutting edge, its tension or the angle of impact.  

New waterproof nitrile gloves in black in retail format The lightness and comfort are two of the most outstanding properties of polyester gloves, they also provide good tactile sensitivity and are resistant to abrasion, have good chemical resistance, provide durability and, therefore, a long useful life. Polyester gloves are cheaper than gloves made of other materials. The waterproof nitrile coating makes it a waterproof glove, perfect for ensuring grip in damp, wet and oily environments. An excellent value for money glove. Juba has launched HKSNI100NN KEEP SAFE, a seamless glove in gauge 13 polyester coated with waterproof nitrile. It is a practical and efficient choice for dirty environments due to its black colour, which means it requires less maintenance in terms of cleaning and replacement. In some work environments, wearing dark gloves can project a more professional image, which is important in workplaces where appearance is an important factor. All in all, this is a new Juba reference of interest to all professionals specialising in handling and assembling small parts, in industrial and automotive workshops, in construction and masonry, in light assembly or machinery repair.  

Economical antistatic glove with fingertip coating Nowadays, workplaces where electrostatic discharges (ESD) can occur around sensitive electronic equipment and parts are very common, such as clean rooms for electronics, nanotechnology and semiconductor manufacturing. Such electrostatic charge transfer not only affects the electrical properties of electronic parts, but can also cause equipment malfunctions and failures, interfering with their operation.  Personnel in such work environments must use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to minimise or even eliminate any charge transfer between personnel and electrostatic discharge-sensitive component equipment. As explained in this video, work gloves in such environments must be made to minimise or even eliminate static electricity. Aware that this is a reality that is increasingly present in any work environment, Juba has launched a new reference of antistatic gloves. The PU1100 Antistatic glove is made from polyester and carbon fibre, with polyurethane coating on the fingertips. Professionals who use this new glove in their daily work will be able to work in a tactile, light-weight, flexible and comfortable way. In fact, it has a 13 gauge, so it will fit the hand very well, in addition to being lint-free. And, of course, this model is designed to be able to use touch screens, very frequent nowadays in all work sectors.  The features of this glove make it recommendable for all types of activities related to quality inspection, laboratories, precision handling in jobs with antistatic hazards or, among others, handling or assembly and assembly of parts in dry environments. Regarding safety, PU1100 Antiestatic is a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which complies with all specifications determined in the EN 16350:2014 standard on gloves for protection against electrostatic properties. In addition, protective gloves with electrostatic dissipation, each individual measure must meet the requirement: Vertical resistance (Rv)<1.0x108 Ω. In particular, this reference offers a Rv of 0.596 Mohms.

Cut and heat protection sleeve now 56 cm long. The arms are one of the most exposed parts of the body for many professionals working, for example, in the large glass industry. This type of environment requires the use of anti-cut fibre sleeves for safety, to which a glove appropriate to the activity to be carried out must be added on top. As a novelty, Juba has added 6 cm in length up to 56 cm to its KS5850 sleeve in order to increase the protection of those users who need it in their day-to-day work. KS5856 POWER CUT is the new sleeve in the Juba collection which, following in the footsteps of its 50 cm predecessor, allows the professional to work safely with total comfort, breathability and freshness thanks to a gauge 13.  This blue cuff is made of K-ROCK®, Juba's own fibre with unique characteristics such as high cut resistance and durability. As additional details, the cuff has an adjustable top closure to better adapt to the thickness of the arm. The cuff has an eyelet on the cuff to prevent it from slipping and thus avoid the risk of cuts. In addition, this reference is resistant to contact heat (100°C for 15 seconds). Beyond the glass industry environment, it may also be of interest for machining, aeronautics, household appliances, the automotive sector, cardboard industry or food processing, as it is certified for use in food handling.
