Ansell has combined safety and environmentally friendly production with the launch of HyFlex 11-435, cut-resistant work gloves. The gloves are made of water-based polyurethane, which is achieved by substituting water for dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent in the manufacturing process.
The gloves are made with a combination of glass fiber and nylon yarn plaited with Dyneema fiber, which provides users with ANSI Level 3 and EN Level 5 cut protection. These combinations of fibers make the gloves more breathable, and feel cooler during use.
The new gloves enhance safety and dexterity for workers in a variety of industries. In addition, the polyurethane does not penetrate inside the gloves, resulting in a softer feel on the skin.
The use of water-based polyurethane in our HyFlex 11-435 gloves is a major advance in long-term safety and care for the environment, said Laura Proctor, Ansell Senior Marketing Manager. These gloves are Ansells answer to the customers call for a more stringent and environmentally safe manufacturing process without compromising on the safety of workers.
The gloves are available in sizes 6-11 and can accommodate a variety of industries.
