BLS Respiratory Protection – A new dynamic partnership

Breathing the future, protecting people, producing innovation.

For 50 years BLS have been providing advanced and 100% Made in Europe products to improve the air quality in the environments where we live.

Innovation

They offer solutions for respiratory protection for industrial, medical, military and urban environments. We generate innovation by engineering our own production machines. We are a boutique of the fourth industrial revolution based on technological culture, collaboration with universities, production automation and quality of relationships.

They want each of their products to exceed customer expectations: design and manufacture them according to top safety and ergonomics standards.

A constant challenge -Innovation

Quality and innovation are the foundation of their path. The protection of people is the value that inspires and that is why they continue to invest in research and development.

“Our goal is to find cutting-edge solutions to meet or anticipate increasingly advanced needs in terms of safety and sustainability.”

With constant relationships with universities allows them to grasp and realise ideas that are always innovative, thanks to the creativity and support of fresh, young minds. These have led to the birth of projects that are unique in our industry, including their circular economy system, which includes reducing emissions, improving production and logistics processes, using recycled materials, converting waste material into secondary raw materials, and the launch in 2022 of the first IoT mask in the industrial world, which integrates protection, design, technology and comfort.

The future lies in “comfort”. Comfort is not a luxury, it is the way to improve the conditions in which workers operate every day.

Layering – an effective way of remaining safe,warm,comfortable and compliant

The best way to stay dry and comfortable in transitional months is to wear breathable garments,this way the air can flow freely in and out of the fabric,preventing the build up of sweat

Broken down ,we suggest base layer,mid layer and outer layer.The base layer optimizes body temperature,mid layer provides protection,outer layer keeps the elements out.

This concept can be used in all areas of operation,including heat/flame,high visibility and general workplace activities.

A huge benefit is that the individual remains safe and comfortable.The commercial benefit is enhanced productivity.

Carbon Neutral – Ideas to Deliver ON

How can you manage your PPE to support your strategy to reduce the environmental impact your business has and deliver your commitments ?

We have put together some ideas which are immediately deliverable with positive input and actions

Biotech nitrile disposable gloves – replace your disposable gloves with the Biotech product. An immediate impact on landfill through science

BioTouch contains a biodegradable technology that kickstarts a biodegradation
process only when discarded in an active landfill environment. BioTouch is more
environmentally friendly with a much faster natural breakdown compared to
regular nitrile.

The ASTM long term testing is in place to verify the extent of biodegradation. This
test imitates landfill environments by limiting oxygen, light, heat, and moisture
and imitates high pressure. The results of this test showed that the compounds in
BioTouch result in 90% biodegradation in just 490 days compared to regular
nitrile, which can take over 100 years.

Workwear has been developed using recycled PET (plastic) and fibre technology. High Visibility garments are also now available using the same principles

REPREVE® is the best-known, most reliable fibre made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles. It is the only eco fibre with U-Trust verification certifying that the requirements for recycled content have been met. Throughout the supply chain, REPREVE® uses unique Fiber Print tracking technology to test products ensuring that they contain REPREVE® – and in the right quantities.

FE ENGEL garments use Repreve are are available in a number of styles.

ECOVIZ is a fast developing range of high visibility workwear manufactured by LEO and featured strongly in our range.

Whenever the opportunity arises, Leo are looking to use more sustainable components and fabrics. In 2019, Leo replaced the fabric on their very popular Coolviz range to EcoViz® RP, a1 00% recycled polyester which conforms to ISO 20471.This has developed further and incorporates trousers,coveralls,weather wear and Sweat shirts

Footwear manufactured using PET(recycled plastics) and polyurethane under the brand of GREENFIT from Cofra provide high levels of comfort, performance and safety. This range is now extended to 41 styles

You can take positive actions with your choice of PPE,don’t think about it, DO IT
