The requirements for textile materials (and thus protective clothing and footwear) require continuous improvement of the production process of polymers, fibers, materials, clothing, footwear and equipment, which take on new properties and thus provide the necessary protective properties, such as:
- heat protection,
- flame protection,
- chemical protection,
- UV radiation,
- various radiation sources (ionized),
- reduction of tendency to static electricity (antistatic properties),
- anti-ballistic properties,
- mechanical hazards,
- resistance to microorganisms (bacteria, viruses),
- water repellent properties,
- waterproofing, and other protective properties.
