Gore standards

Endurance Leather COLLECTION

ASTICO DESIGN

AstiCool

Bovine grain leather processed according to Gore standards and finished with Cool Tech technology . This special finish allows the leather to better reflect the sun radiations and therefore to maintain a stable temperature of the material. This article is very resistant and it is ideal for the production of safety, outdoor and high-performance footwear in general.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

WATER VAPOUR PERMEABILITY

Astico leathers may present four different levels of water vapour permeability which vary according to the type of process needed for the finished article.

Level

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Standard

Elite

Master

Description

Low breathability leather, ideal for leather goods, upholstery and light footwear.

S2 breathability level, compliant with the European norm EN 20344/5. Ideal for safety shoes.

High breathability level, ideal for sport footwear and for Gore-Tex® certification.

Maximum breathability level, suitable for extreme applications. Suitable for Sympa-Tex® certification.

Water vapour permeability

< 0,8 mg/cm².h

≥ 0,8 mg/cm².h

≥ 5,0 mg/cm².h

≥ 7,0 mg/cm².h

SUN- REFLECT

Astico leathers can be processed with an innovative recipe which confers reflectance properties. That means that the leather better reflects the solar radiations and maintains a more stable temperature.

WATERPROOF

Astico has developed 4 levels of waterproof treatments to meet different technical needs, such as EN 20344/20345 norm, Sympa-Tex® and Gore-Tex®.

Level	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4
Name	Basic	Standard	Elite	Master
Description	Superficial water drops protection. Basic waterproof level, ideal for simple non-sport related accessories.	S2 waterproof level, compliant with European norm EN 20344/5. Ideal for safety shoes.	Waterproof level ideal for sport and outdoor shoes that needs to achieve the Goretex® certification.	High waterproof level, ideal for extreme uses. Suitable for Sympa-Tex® certification.
