Trusted Applications in Safety Equipment

WTEC offers a comprehensive range of foam, sponge, and specialty materials engineered to meet the stringent demands of the safety and personal protective equipment (PPE) industry. Our solutions support manufacturers of industrial safety gear, occupational health products, and consumer protection equipment—delivering high performance in impact resistance, acoustic control, and ergonomic comfort.

Description

WTEC’s safety-grade materials are widely used in:

  • Impact Absorption & Cushioning
    High-resilience foams integrated into safety helmets, knee pads, and protective vests to absorb shock and reduce injury risk.

  • Acoustic Insulation & Noise Reduction
    Sound-dampening foams used in ear muffs, communication headsets, and industrial noise barriers to protect hearing in high-decibel environments.

  • Thermal Protection & Fire Retardancy
    Specialized foams like graphite and melamine provide heat resistance and flame retardancy in welding masks, fire suits, and thermal gloves.

  • Comfort Liners & Ergonomic Padding
    Soft PU and EVA foams used in helmet liners, face shields, and other wearable PPE to enhance comfort during prolonged use.

  • Sealants & Spacer Components
    EPDM and PE foams used to seal and align components in respirators, goggles, and full-face masks—ensuring airtight protection.

  • Laminated Protective Panels
    PU foam laminated with technical fabrics or films (via water-based or flame lamination) for:

    • Helmet interior padding

    • Protective face shield inserts

    • Industrial visor seals

    • Noise-reducing headgear components
