Retain tactility
June 1st 2006

Described by Ansell as its slimmest and lightest lined HyFlex glove, the HyFlex Ultra-Lite 11-618 is 20% lighter than previous nylon/polyurethane Ansell gloves.

The knitted glove's dipped palms and fingers are just 0.8mm thick, offering what the company believes is the best tactility among dipped gloves on the market today.

Designed for assembly tasks requiring a high degree of precision, the Ultra-Lite was intended for tasks involving repeated flexing and pinching of the fingers and fingertips.

In addition to handling and light assembly applications, the gloves are expected to appeal to those involved with baggage control at airport security checkpoints.

Even in very light assembly operations, the wearing of gloves can help to avoid minor punctures (splinters, wires), cuts and scrapes which may become infected and painful. Gloves protect the skin from the formation of blisters and callouses and even from the drying effects of wood dust or glue.

The HyFlex Ultra-Lite 11- 618 remains consistently low linting and may be washed a number of times without losing any of its properties.

Sweat is said to evaporate easily.
