Roots

ROOTS is a world-class manufacturer of flame-retardant workwear and is especially well-known in the oil and gas sector industry and renewable energy market.

Being a world-class manufacturer of flame-retardant workwear, ROOTS produces state-of-the-art products through innovation, product development, fabric development and market research. At all times, health and safety of the wearer are in the focus of the whole product development.

The entire ROOTS product range is always flame-retardant, anti-static and arc-rated (ATPV cal/cm²) as a minimum – and all to the latest EN standards.

One of the latest innovations is the new Flamebuster2.

LATEST INNOVATION: LESS SHRINKAGE + MORE DURABILITY + SUSTAINABILITY

The Flamebuster2 coverall has the lowest shrinkage percentage within the oil and gas market and passes the demanding EN ISO 13688: 2013 industrial laundry test. This test requires a shrinkage of less than 3% after five wash cycles at 75°C and with a tunnel drying temperature set at 155°C.

Take into account that every other coverall in today’s O&G market has a maximum washing temperature of 60°C, followed by a drying temperature of 50°C.

The new Flamebuster2 fabric conforms to the very demanding Oeko-tex Standard 100 certificate.

With the whole range being arc-rated – ATPV cal/cm² – also on layered combinations Roots offer the end-user a one-stop, one-brand solution. All production sites to comply with the Fair Wear Foundation’s Code of Labour Practices to give peace of mind regarding the social responsibility.
