For the first time at Naidex, Aussie Fleece is showing Australian sheepskin products which have been protected with Woolprotec®.
Woolprotec® sheepskins are produced from specially cross-bred Merino sheep which provide the ideal balance of wool fibre length and high density (over 5000 to 6000 fibres per square cm). This gives sheepskins that provide strong springy support coupled with soft feel and comfort.
The unique tanning process means that these sheepskins can be washed in regular washing machines and tumble dried without shrinkage, stiffening of the leather or any loss or flattening of the soft springy support of the fibres.
Medical sheepskins can help provide relief for Arthritis and Rheumatism sufferers, those suffering from sleep disorders, people with RSI, wheelchair users, sports people, anyone prone to pressure ulcers.
Woolprotec® Natural GOLD sheepskins can be machine washed at up to 60C and cool tumble dried or left to dry naturally, while Medical GREEN sheepskins can be machine washed or industrially washed at up to 80C (Hospital requirements for thermal disinfection) and then warm tumble dried without any loss of the natural characteristics of the wool.
