ELKA Pro

THE MARKET’S STRONGEST

ELKA PRO is made of the market’s strongest PU/polyamide fabric developed in collaboration with European manufacturers. The fabric has high tear strength, and you get good freedom of movement thanks to the flexibility of the fabric.

EUROPEAN CERTIFICATIONS

ELKA PRO meets European standards for protective clothing, approved by accredited test institutes. All ELKA PRO products are certified EN 343 and most of the products are certified EN 14605 and EN 14126.

HIGH WATER COLUMN PRESSURE

Waterproof fabric and waterproof seams. ELKA PRO has a water column pressure of 20,000 mm.

WIDE RANGE

Most ELKA PRO models are available from XS to 5XL and in a range of colors.

MADE IN EUROPE

ELKA PRO is manufactured at our own factory in Europe. We use European fabric and European trim, and all products are manufactured in accordance with REACH, the EU’s basic chemicals legislation.

HIGH QUALITY

ELKA PRO is manufactured with a waterrepellent backing and reinforced welds in particularly exposed places (under the arms and in the crotch).

ELKA PRO – QUALITY MATTERS

WATERPROOF FABRIC AND WATERPROOF SEAMS

We are experts in high-frequency welding, which is the absolute strongest production technology for waterproof workwear in PU – because with high-frequency welding you achieve a joint that is as strong as the material itself. The result is PU products with a high water column pressure of 10,000 mm – with both waterproof fabric and waterproof seams.

HIGH TEAR STRENGTH

ELKA PRO is produced with a unique PU coating that acts as a waterproof membrane, and which increases the wear resistance and resistance to tears and cracking. The PU is applied to the knitted polyamide fabric, which is much stronger than e.g. polyester, and together with the innate stretch of the fabric, it optimizes the tear strength and thus the product’s durability and life span.

WATER-REPELLENT BACKING

ELKA PRO is made with a special, water-repellent backing – and it is an advantage if you are in a working position where it is unavoidable that water gets up under the rainwear. Thanks to the water-repellent backing, the water will just settle as drops on top of the fabric, from where it runs downwards – and the clothes will remain dry and comfortable.

REINFORCEMENTS

To avoid breakage during heavy stretches, we make sure to reinforce the welds in particularly exposed places. This applies under the arms of smocks and coveralls and in the crotch of bib & braces, trousers and coveralls.

EUROPEAN CERTIFICATIONS

High quality – it’s not just something we say ourselves. ELKA PRO meets European standards for protective clothing, approved by accredited test institutes. All ELKA PRO products are certified EN 343 (protective clothing against water). In addition most of the products are EN 14605-certified (protective clothing against liquid chemicals) as well as EN 14126-certified (protective clothing against infectious agents). The certification means that the individual product has been tested and that you are sure to get a product that meets the EU-set standards for safety and performance.

EXTEND THE LIFE SPAN OF YOUR CLEANING GARMENTS

ELKA PRO has been developed for daily wear in a wet working environment and for close contact with liquid chemicals in accordance with EN 14605. The durability and properties of the clothes depend on use and washing methods. In order to achieve the maximum life span, it is very important to keep the clothes clean, especially after using chemicals at work.

Rinse off the clothes after use – please also rinse during cleaning when chemicals have been used.
Hang up the clothes at the end of the working day.
Wash the clothes regularly – and remember that the outside side must face outwards, so chemical residues are washed off. The ELKA PRO series is approved for 25 washes at 60° C.
No use of fabric softener and impregnating agent.
After washing, hang the garment right side out to drip dry.

ADJUST THE BRACES ON YOUR BIB & BRACE

When using ELKA’s bib & brace products, pay attention to adjusting the braces so that the trousers fit in the crotch.

If the trousers do not fit in the crotch, the load on the weld becomes too big and the PU coating is lifted off the polyamide backing. Therefore – adjust the braces, and your overalls will last as long as possible.
