HexArmor strives to position itself as the true innovator in PPE(personal protective equipment), utilizing SuperFabric® technologies that provide performance characteristics unlike any other technology on the market for cut, puncture, and needle risks.
HexArmor Gloves made with SuperFabric material, provide puncture resistant protection by the tiny, hard guard plates that are adhered to conventional and non-conventional base fabrics. Because the gap between the guard plates is very small and the multiple layers, HexArmor gloves provide high levels of puncture protection from sharp, pointy objects.
HexArmor provides safety solutions to end or greatly reduce injuries on the job, and lower overall cost of purchasing personal protective equipment (PPE). HexArmor is constantly working with the largest industrial and service companies in the world to come up with industry-changing products that defeat the toughest mechanical risks in a variety of work environments.
Puncture Resistance vs. Needlestick Resistance
Needles are sharp, beveled instruments designed to pierce flesh. To stop them, you need to put something hard in front of them, such as the unique protective plates found in SuperFabric material. ASTM testing for puncture resistance is done with a rounded test probe, and measures bust strength.A .25G needle tests true needle resistance.
Perfect for law enforcement, metal fabrication, hazardous materials, general manufacturing and much more.
FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between puncture resistant gloves and needlestick resistance gloves?
A: Both HexArmor Needlestick and Puncture Resistant Gloves are engineered with SuperFabric materials however, they have different purposes. HexArmor puncture resistant gloves are designed to deflect and block blunt forces of industrial puncture hazards inlduing nails, silvers and wires. HexArmor needle resistant gloves feature multiple layers of SuperFabric designed arrest, trap and block needles and other hazards. They are tested using actual 25 gauge needles to deliver the highest level of protection.
Q: What makes HexArmor products highly cut and puncture resistant?
A: Hexarmor is the leading manufacture of puncture, needlestick and cut resistant gloves. All HexArmor Gloves feature innovative configuration of SuperFabric technology which offers the highest resistance to lacerations and slashes like no other material on the market. While other yarns such as Kevlar, Dyneema or Spectra protect users from straight edged cut hazards, they do not offer sufficient protection from other variable hazards such as metal burrs, wires, or silvers.
