Choosing the right product is always important in making the workplace safe and productive. Weldas® products
offer a variety of materials, designs, patterns and sizes to suit the needs and applications of the user. This guide
provides a look at all the variations to help you understand what to use based on what is most important to you.
Using PPE that offers the right amount of protection while also providing comfort and durability can increase your
productivity and allow you to hone your skill. Here are some of the primary factors you should consider in your choice:
Protection
Be sure to choose products with the materials and design that make the item
resistant to heat, flame, molten metal spatter and splash, UV radiation, electricity,
cuts, punctures and abrasions.
Comfort
Sizing, fit, dexterity, fingertip sensitivity, weight, sweat absorbency and vapor
transmission (sweat moving from the inside to outside apparel) and oil and water
resistance. These are important factors that can make or break your focus and
productivity. Be sure you buy the product that is perfect for you.
Health
The leather tanning process is a harsh, chemical-laden process. Weldas® is one of the
few companies in the world that tests its products for safe levels of Chromium (VI),
pH values and pentachlorophenol (PCP).
Durability
Abrasion resistance, tensile strength, tear resistance, heat-related dimensional change
(will it shrink or stretch when heat is applied), reinforced seams and stress points as
well as thread strength and flame resistance.

Different portions of the hide offer different characteristics. The side offers the best strength and
pliability, the shoulder offers good strength, and the
belly is the most economical.
Leather is tanned and separated into a grain layer and
a split layer. The grain layer has a smooth shiny side
and a rough suede side. The split layer is rough suede
on both sides.
