Ansell has added a new glove to its
HyFlex series: the HyFlex 11-518.
Reported to provide wearers with a 'barehand-like' sensation without compromising cut protection or performance, the ultralight HyFlex 11-518 glove is rated for EN Cut Level 3 protection, making it suitable for precision handling and assembly of sharp, dry, ultra-fine parts.
The HyFlex 11-518 is claimed to be the first glove in the market to combine the mechanical protection properties of EN Cut Level 3 - associated with heavier duty gloves - with a comfortable, cut-resistant and multipurpose 18 gauge style.
Recently introduced, Dyneema Diamond Technology's soft, strong, cut-resistant yarn is applied using Ansell 3D knitting technologies and finished with a tough PU coating, to deliver EN Cut Level 3 and EN Abrasion Level 3 in a lightweight and breathable fit and feel.
"The first-to-market HyFlex 11- 518 is the first of several additions we are making to this popular series to bring greater comfort and protection to workers around the world," said Scott Corriveau, president of Ansell's Industrial Global Business Unit. "The new HyFlex 11-518 glove emphasises Ansell's commitment to better protect workers and to increase productivity within the workplace by offering a lightweight glove that maximises dexterity, tactility and protection."
