Textile
Research and Development company, Supreme Corporation®, of Conover North
Carolina introduced a new cut, slash and abrasion protective apparel to the
motorcycle industry. The product, Tuff-n-Lite® is presently one of the
strongest materials in the World. Tuff-n-Lite® is ounce for ounce 15 times
stronger than steel with the comfort and flexibility of cotton.
Senior
Account Executive, Walter Schulein, says “unlike commonly used aramids,
Tuff-n-Lite® will not sacrifice its strength when wet or exposed to
sunlight. It is also not affected by
disinfectants, laundering, perspiration or common household bleaches.”
Their
clothing line includes shirts, pants, and leather bonded Tuff-n-Lite which
offers 7 times more cut resistance than standard leather and up to 10 times
more abrasion resistance than carbon steel.
The
Insurance Information Institute reports that 4,798 people died in motorcycle
crashes in 2006. About 88,000 motorcyclists were involved in crashes in 2004.
A
safety product like Tuff-n-Lite® is well past due in the motorcycle market.
