uvex HexArmor patents a technology to prevent cuts, perforations or impacts
SuperFabric®, the exclusive technology for uvex HexArmor extrication or rescue gloves has a resistance level to perforation, abrasion and impact like none other on the market. It's specially designed to prevent cuts and lacerations reaching the skin.
uvex HexArmor's anti-perforation technology is based on the patented SuperFabric® technology to stop hazards and prevent injury. All uvex HexArmor perforation-resistant gloves are put to the test in the laboratory and in real use.
uvex HexArmor incorporates superior abrasion resistance into its line of rescue gloves. “After researching and compiling information, we improved the protection level with our TP-X patented material. We also added pieces of additional fabric to the areas exposed to scraping and excessive wear, like the fingertips and the area between the thumb and the index finger: this keeps users safe, while ensuring a longer life for the gloves.”
Impact resistance
uvex HexArmor impact protection is designed to absorb and reduce the energy of the impact on the back of the hand during on impact. “The patented uvex HexArmor IR-X Exoskeleton, combining plastic with thermal rubber (TPR), provides the optimal hardness and separation to reduce the force of impact by 60% according to ISEA 138 tests, making it the best protection on the market ”.
Anti-abrasion
uvex HexArmor® incorporates superior abrasion resistance into its line of rescue gloves. “After researching and compiling information, we improved the protection level with our patented TP-X material®. We also added pieces of additional fabric to the areas most exposed to scraping and excessive wear and tear, like the fingertips and the area between the thumb and the index finger: this keeps users safe, while ensuring a longer life for the gloves.”
Protection from perforation
A glove with excellent protection from cuts often lacks protection against perforations, which is the number one cause of cuts. In fact, almost all lacerations begin with a perforation. Sharp object hazards encountered due to broken fragments of glass or sharp metal edges can pierce a glove, drag it across the hand and tear the material and the skin. “Common cut-resistant materials like Dyneema® or Kevlar® provide certain protection when the edge is straight but can be easily perforated due to the properties of the material’s fabric. uvex HexArmor's anti-perforation technology is based on the patented SuperFabric® technology to stop hazards and prevent injuries.”
