Gloves launch
February 1st 2009 As well as showcasing its complete
range of high quality gloves, hand
protection specialist, Ansell will be
introducing two cut-resistant
innovations at Health & Safety '09
Sandown: the PowerFlex 80-658
extreme cut-resistant glove and the
HyFlex 11-435, said to be the first
cut resistant level 5 glove made with
water-based polyurethane (PU).
Intended for high cut-risk work
handling glass, metal, scrap waste
and recycling, Ansell's PowerFlex 80-
658 is said to be the first three
quarter dipped glove with a cut
resistance level of 5 to offer the extra
forearm protection of an extended
knitwrist. The addition of cotton
isolates the skin from direct contact
with the cut resistant yarns.
The HyFlex 11-435 is a knitted,
seamless, 13-gauge supported and
dipped glove offering resistance to
cuts, abrasions and burrs (EN388
performance levels: 4-5-4-2). This
new glove is intended for handling,
maintenance, preassembling and
cutting of dry or slightly oily parts,
glass, sharp objects and components,
sheet metal and ceramics. Composed
of nylon, fiberglass and Dyneema,
the liner is said to offer excellent
breathability and a cool feeling.
