We have incorporated reference HV750P yellow high-vis rain trousers into the Juba catalogue. Some jobs -such as fish-market work, public maintenance with the presence of water or other jobs with water on the ground and a need for visibility- only require water protection of the bottom half and not the jacket. The option of just trousers is therefore a cheaper solution for tasks where only waterproofing in the legs is needed. It is also useful as a spare trouser for your full water suit, since the trouser is the part most affected by dirt and wear. The HV750P trouser is made from a lightweight polyester fabric with a full polyurethane coating ensuring complete watertightness to liquids. All the seams are thermosealed to fully prevent water from entering, as there are no openings or pores between stitches that can let damp in. Whether in the case of heavy rain or large splashes, the HV750P trouser guarantees water will not cross the garment and you can work without worrying about the amount of moisture in the environment or the discomfort of feeling wet. It also has a press stud in the ankle opening to tighten it and prevent water from entering through absorption. The elastic waist has an adjustable cord. This high-visibility trouser model comes in fluorescent yellow. Click here for more product info.

We have launched the high-vis version of our popular 984 SNOW winter technical trousers under the references HV984B (black) and HV984DN (navy). The performance of our original trousers, with their warmth, snug design and elasticity, plus a fluorescent yellow area and reflective stripes for jobs requiring heightened visibility. Increasing standardisation in the labour sector towards safer and more controlled working environments to reduce accidents has boosted demand for high-visibility protection, making the use of clothes with retro-reflective material and the regulations certifying it increasingly common. Our HV984 trousers are certified for level-1 high visibility and have cold resistance for thermal resistance and air permeability. It is a trouser with a micro-fleece inner lining and elastic windbreaker outer fabric with a close-fitting design and articulated knees that lets you move with ease and comfort. Ankle width is adjusted for greater cold insulation. Windproof zippers. For more information on the HV984 SNOW trouser click here.

Introducing our first winter glove from Juba’s K-Rock collection: the 4590WT model. K-Rock is a cut-resistant fibre composed of braided filaments with a lightweight and extremely resistant and durable structure. It enables the breathability and elasticity needed to work safely and comfortably. The 4590WT glove has very interesting features. The micro-foam nitrile coating delivers exceptional grip in wet conditions and with smooth and oily objects and surfaces. It has a touch-sensitive property to work with mobile devices, allowing you to perform handling tasks in cold situations and enter data into tablets, phones and other devices without taking your glove off. Less cold, fewer interruptions, more versatility, more productivity. The 7 gauge lining provides a feeling of warmth and comfort with its woolly texture. Support with gauge 13 K-Rock technology takes cutting protection to level E, multiplying usability. It offers high resistance when handling objects or working on abrasive surfaces. The greater the strength, the longer the durability. A multifunctional glove for working in cold environments with all possible comfort. The half-back cover protects your hands from the cold that can cause poor moisture insulation. The open back enables breathability for the hand. Its insulating properties also let you handle hot parts with a level-2 contact heat resistance for up to 15 seconds at 250ºC. Suitable for use with all types of aqueous, alcoholic and dairy foods with a pH of less than 4.5. We recommend this glove for demanding outdoor work, cold rooms, replenishment, the agrifood sector, warehouses and logistics, roads, food companies with a cold area, the assembly of metal structures outdoors and construction.

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.

Juba has recently incorporated to its glove catalogue the new chemical glove 822 LAUREL PLUS for a wide range of applications. It is characterised for a great resistance to chemical products and an extra length of 50 centimetres. The glove is made of granulated nitrile over a cotton interlock liner that provides good perspiration absorption. The nitrile coating on palm and back offers a solid grip on dry, wet and oily environments with risk of contact with chemical products, and offers an excellent resistance to abrasion. It has an ergonomic design that adapts perfectly to the hand and minimises user fatigue. Furthermore, it is certified with the EN407 standard for gloves against thermal risks, obtaining a heat resistant rating of 1 which guarantees the glove is capable to resist at least 100 degrees for 15 seconds. It is SUITABLE for ALIMENTARY USE for all aqueous, alcoholic, acidic and dairy products even for oily foods with a x/2 reduction factor. There are a wide range of applications where this glove would be ideal like the fishing industry, cleaning and food industry, industries with chemical processes, pumping applications, sanitation and clean water supplies, refineries and industrial kitchens. It is sold in sizes ranging from 7 to 10, individually packaged and has a 1mm thickness.

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.
