Technical information

Fabrics

LCC dual sources its fabrics worldwide from trusted sources and well established connections. This has the advantage of cutting lead times and finding the best quality fabrics. All fabrics have been tried and tested to acceptable standards for durability and performance, both of prime importance within the workwear rental field.

Our garments are manufactured in an extensive and varied series of fabrics and colours, selected with regard to end use and performance requirements. All fabrics are suitable for Industrial and Domestic Laundering processes, and we are happy to provide our customers with information about Laundering on request.

General Purpose PPE garments are primarily offered in a series of different mixtures of Polyester and Cotton blends, and in a number of different weights.

All fabrics have been tested to the highest EN or International Standards, and references to test information are available to customers, on request. Fabrics for the Cleanroom, Food Industry and static control are held in stock, we can also offer flame-retardant or hi-visibility garments primarily to a specialist requirement.

For more complex PPE garments, we provide additional technical and testing information conforming to EN Standards.

Our technical staff offers advice and assistance to our customers in making the appropriate and suitable choice. If you are unsure of your requirement in this regard, please contact us directly for guidance from our team.

Standards

LCC Clothing Ireland makes workwear which falls under the definition of personal protective equipment (PPE), and is therefore marked in accordance with the CE marking regulations (EN standards). Such workwear is intended to protect against accidents or injuries when working under conditions involving cold, heat, flame, rain and reduced visibility.
