Knee pads for occupational safety for over 90 years<\/h3>\n

Our traditional company was founded in 1932 in the Ruhr area and was one of the first companies in the world to develop and manufacture knee pads. As a reliable supplier for professional knee protection in mining, the mining DIN standard 23311 was developed in cooperation with the mining standards committee as early as 1953. This established optimal protection for users and at the same time a high quality standard for knee pads from our company. The requirements of the new European standard DIN EN 14404 from 2005 are of course met while maintaining the old quality standards.<\/p>\n

Registered quality<\/h3>\n

With the protected trademark Wohltat\u00ae, our products today still stand for high-quality and robust knee protectors for a spectrum of different users that has grown over the decades. They provide effective and durable protection of the knees during all types of kneeling work. What started then with the production of knee pads for work in mining, today represents a company that develops and produces knee pads in all areas of manual work for protection and safety.<\/p>\n

Knee pads for floor layers, gardeners, carpenters or do-it-yourselfers are just a few examples. In our
\n range<\/strong>
\n<\/a> you will find the right knee protection for every craft.<\/p>\n

In the heart of mining<\/h3>\n

Our knee pads have been successfully in use for over 90 years. Our location, right in the heart of the mining industry in the Ruhr region, has been particularly helpful in developing and continuously improving our products in line with application requirements. Until today, the high quality standards to our knee pads from the mining industry have remained.<\/p>\n

Sustainability in production<\/h3>\n

To achieve this we work with high quality materials. When selecting our suppliers, we prefer raw materials and materials from Europe, with an ecological footprint.<\/p>\n

Why rubber knee pads?<\/h3>\n

Rubber is highly elastic, chemical-resistant, permanently heat-resistant up to at least 80\u00b0 and abrasion-resistant. Aging process or material fatigue occurs only after years.<\/p>\n

Why knee pads made of TPE?<\/h3>\n

Knee pads made from thermoplastic elastomers (a rubber-like plastic) can be manufactured more quickly and inexpensively and are a low-cost alternative to rubber knee pads. However, TPE is not resistant to chemicals and is less elastic. The knee pads are cheaper, but not quite as durable and unsuitable for some uses involving adhesives, mortars, etc.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”20px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Cellular rubber cushion<\/h3>\n

We process almost exclusively cellular rubber for the inner padding of the knee pads. This material has proven itself as it has a very shock-absorbing effect, remains permanently elastic and does not flatten quickly.<\/p>\n

Polyurethane knee pads<\/h3>\n

Polyurethane knee pads are foamed in one piece and are mainly used in the DIY sector. They are a good compromise compared to knee pads with two or more layers.<\/p>\n
