Cut Level 3 in 18 gauge style

Ansell has added a new glove to its HyFlex series: the HyFlex 11-518.

Providing wearers with a barehandlike sensation without compromising cut protection or performance, the HyFlex 11-518 meets EN Cut Level 3 protection, making it suitable for precision handling and assembly of sharp, dry, ultra-fine parts.

The ultralight duty style HyFlex 11-518 is said 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.

In field trials the 11-518 was preferred by nearly 70% of workers now using heavier gloves for similar tasks, a comfort preference that correlates with compliance.
