Warm and easy to see
April 1st 2008 Cardno, manufacturer of
products for the vehicle
recovery industry, uses two
materials from 3M –
Scotchlite Reflective Material
and Thinsulate insulation.
Cardno manufactures and
supplies products for more
than 3000 companies in the
professional recovery
industry, a potentially
hazardous profession where
workers face extreme
conditions. A field that the
company specialises in is
protective clothing.
Recovery workers must be
visible when working on the
roadside, so Cardno includes
Scotchlite Reflective Material
on its jackets.
Cardno's Hilary Reglar says
that Scotchlite Reflective
Material reflects light back
to its source from up to 230m
away, with wide-angle
performance, even in the wet.
Cardno also uses 3M's
Thinsulate insulation. The
thin yet effective thermal
lining eliminates the need
for bulky padding.
Products incorporating in
insulated lining include
anoraks, bodywarmers,
bomber jackets, coveralls,
roadway jackets and liners. More articles from 3M UK Plc: |
