HexArmor® has partnered with HDM Inc. to design technologies with unique capabilities for the safety market. SuperFabric® technology, by HDM Inc., is a finishing process that takes ordinary fabrics and transforms them into high-performance products collectively known as SuperFabric® brand materials. These new protective fabrics can be engineered for optimum resistance to abrasions, lacerations, punctures, stains, and more, while remaining highly flexible. HexArmor® utilizes variations of SuperFabric® technologies that are directly integrated into high-performance products (gloves, arm, and body protection) through different patterns of cut/sewn and direct print technologies and processes.

Unbeatable Cut Protection

The HexArmor Elite collection of products uses SuperFabric® brand material to provide cut resistance that exceeds ANSI/ISEA and CE Level 5. ®

Needlestick Resistance

HexArmor® has developed a line of needlestickresistant products to keep hands safe from incidental contact with hypodermic needles. Multiple aligned layers of fabric arrest, trap, and block needles and other hazards.

Industrial Puncture Resistance

Many lacerations start out as a puncture. HexArmor Elite® gloves provide protection from burrs, metal wires, slivers, and similar hazards.

Abrasion Resistance

HexArmor Elite® products provide significantly higher abrasion resistance than standard competitive PPE, which means higher performance longer in the product’s life.

Advanced Technologies HexArmor® has been a leader in technology and innovation since our founding. Our breakthroughs in materials, design, and functionality have changed the hand, arm, and body personal protective equipment (PPE) landscape, and they continue to redefine the standards of safety in the industrial sector. In addition to top-level cut, puncture, and abrasion resistance, we have outfitted our gloves and body protection with purpose-built technology created for a wide variety of hazards and applications. Our patented innovations are what make us today’s trusted advisor in the safety industry.

Unparalleled Impact Resistance

Our proprietary IR-X Impact Exoskeleton shields users’ entire back-of-hand, protecting every joint and knuckle from debilitating blows. Redesigned impact guards on our Rig Lizard® gloves provide more flex points for comfort and dexterity. ®

Waterproof

™

Our H2X® liner creates a waterproof barrier between your hands and wet hazards, keeping hands dry and comfortable. H2X® also meets ASTM F1670/F1671 standards for bloodborne pathogen resistance and fluid-borne viral resistance.

A Grip for Every Job

When you’re on the job site, you often encounter a variety of liquids, oils, muds, and other unidentified substances. Our products offer a wide variety of grip options to provide users with the appropriate grip for the task at hand.

Cold and Warm Weather Solutions

HexArmor® Arctic gloves combine our H2X® waterproof liner with a C40 Thinsulate™ liner, creating a two-layer barrier from wind, water, and chill. HexArmor® Oasis gloves are made with HexVent® technology, which creates a breathable heat-release system, keeping hands cool and comfortable.

Preventing Lacerations and Puncture Wounds Many lacerations start out as a puncture. A sharp edge, corner, burr, wire “wicker,” or other protruding hazard can penetrate the glove and scrape or cut skin. With synthetic leather or cotton gloves, the hazard will poke through the surface of the glove and tear laterally to create a laceration. While a glove may say it has “cut resistance,” it often lacks the puncture protection to stop lacerations.

The Next Generation of Impact Protection IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™

Competitive Impact Protection

The most advanced HexArmor impact resistance comes with all the dexterity, all the comfort, and more protection than that offered by any other impactprotective glove on the market. Our proprietary IR-X® technology shields our gloves with a full back-of-hand exoskeleton, so every joint and knuckle is protected from debilitating blows. IR-X® smash guards are purpose-built to deflect the force of sudden impacts away from the impact point, rather than transferring force directly to the hand. This unique characteristic is what sets IR-X® safety levels higher than the competition, and its flexibility is what makes the IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™ more comfortable and more dexterous than any other impact-resistant technology available. ®

Specialized Grips for the Oil Industry In the oil industry, maintaining grip is a constant challenge. The presence of lubricating fluids, friction reducers, grease, oil-based muds, and honey oils makes tools and pipes slick and hard to grip. Poor grip can lead to hand fatigue, as well as strains and sprains from the increased effort required to sustain grip. HexArmor® oil and gas safety gloves offer a variety of grip options, all designed specifically to meet the technical challenges for maintaining grip in the petroleum industry.

HexArmor Mud Grip® Synthetic leather palm with PVC dots. The surface wicks away lubricant, allowing PVC dots to create friction and improve grip on metal tools. A good all-around grip, it does well in the wet conditions often found with drilling and oil-based muds. It also provides excellent dry grip for general tasks. Found on the 4021X and 4026.

Mud Grip+™ Synthetic leather palm with larger PVC dots which create friction and improve grip on metal tools. Good all-around grip that does well in wet conditions often found with drilling and oil based muds. Also provides excellent dry grip for general tasks. Found on the 2028.

Gator Grip Technology® Highly specialized SuperFabric® brand material palm with PVC dots. SuperFabric® guard plates that bite through and channel away lubricants, creating a “snow tire” effect that allows the user to grip oily or lubricated parts and tools. The PVC dots provide added friction for a tacky grip. Found on the 4020X.

TP-X® Technical protective palm material that works well in oils and fluids. The surface does not absorb wetness, so grip is maintained in the presence of lubricants. Best for regular (light to medium) oily or wet conditions. Provides more abrasion resistance than synthetic leather, and some industrial puncture resistance. Found on the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2029, 4010, 4031 and 4036.

TP-X+™ A more robust, heavy-duty TP-X® material that provides better cut, puncture and abrasion resistance and improved grip. The raised texture creates channels or grooves in the material, so it has enhanced grip over time. May provide more resistance to heat. Found on the 2025.

Canvas Cotton

Brightly colored cotton canvas material complies with hand safety standards requiring a bright palm color. Similar grip to standard cotton gloves used in the oil industry, but can be washed and reused many times, unlike cotton gloves. Good for working with honey oils. This palm provides a good grip when it gets oily because it is easily wiped clean. Found on the 2024.

Sandy Nitrile Palm Dip

Sandy nitrile is good for handling graphite dust, which can make other palm grips slick. Adds a high level of abrasion resistance. Good dry grip. Lightweight, providing excellent dexterity. A good choice for incidental contact with unknown substances such as solvents, chemicals, oils, etc. Found on the 2090 and 9013.

You Do the Job that No One Else Can Do When we took on the mission of creating the world’s safest rescue glove, we knew we couldn’t do it alone. Building the perfect safety glove for the toughest first responders takes a lot of work, so we put it back on the hardest workers we know.

Reducing Hand Injuries in National Grocery Chains HexArmor® Introduces NXT™ 10-302 as a Solution to Cut Injuries and Compliance

The results from the survey helped guide the recommendation to implement a large trial of the NXT™ 10-302 in the deli and produce departments.

Employees in the deli and produce departments at a large national grocery chain were using standard Spectra® cut gloves to handle knives and change cutting blades on machinery. The gloves provided some levels of cut protection, but the fiber-based gloves were bulky, ill-fitting, and scratchy, which caused problems with getting employees to actually wear the PPE. The safety team was tasked with finding gloves that would offer a higher level of cut protection, were more comfortable, and had higher dexterity in hopes of increased employee-wear compliance.

Gloves were used in various food preparation and machine maintenance applications, and the stores saw an immediate acceptance of the NXT 10-302 as a highly comfortable solution that provided better protection than the Spectra® gloves. While using the NXT 10-302, all of the testing sites saw an increase in compliance, as well as longer usage and improved cut injury data.

HexArmor® was brought in to learn more about the issues at the store level and took surveys of actual end-users. The following issues were found with the Spectra® gloves: • Too bulky and ill-fitting • Loose fingertips bunch up and get caught in machinery or get in the way of cutting • Did not sanitize or wash well: easily discolored, retain odor • Did not protect from accidental knife slips because the knife tip could penetrate between the fibers

44% Reduction in Cut Injuries While Using Knives and Machines Data taken from 150 stores over a period of one year was aggregated to show the effect of the HexArmor® NXT™ 10-302 on the safety records of the unit. The NXT 10-302 not only reduced cut injuries by 44% after the first year of use, but safety managers noticed an increase in compliance as the NXT 10-302 was said to be much more comfortable, flexible, and dexterous. Further trending shows injury rates will continue to drop as more and more stores adopt the NXT 10-302. The grocery chain we worked with has purchased more than 75,000 units over the first year of implementation. HexArmor® was able to impact the safety program at this large grocery chain because of the following: • Higher cut resistance: exceeds ISEA and CE Level 5 • Protection from knife slips and pointed kitchen hazards provided by SuperFabric® guardplates • High dexterity and comfort in a 13-gauge lightweight shell • Washes better than the competition and is easily sanitized

The Only Proven Needlestick Solution The methods by which needlestick-resistant products are tested in a laboratory often fall short of the actual dangers involved with handling used needles on the job. The few standards that are available for puncture testing, such as the EN388 and the ASTM 1342, do not accurately replicate the fine points of 25-gauge medical needles, nor do they account for odd angles of entry. In order to validate HexArmor® gloves as the most needlestick-resistant PPE available, HexArmor® researchers adapted available testing methods to account for the Order now from Diplomat Blades: Ph: (03) 8710 4777 Fax: (03) 8710 4700 material’s superior level of performance.

Don’t Get Stuck with Faulty Hand Protection The precise cost of needlestick injuries is difficult to quantify. According to the American Hospital Association, one case of serious infection by blood-borne pathogens can add up to $1 million or more in expenses for testing, lost work time, and disability payments. Even when no infection occurs, the cost to organizations is estimated to be more than $3,000 per injury for testing, counseling, and time off work. HexArmor® sets the industry standard for needle protection with solutions for a variety of applications. Our needlestick-resistant products do more than simply pass industry-accepted testing methods; we put them through real-world applications countless times, with a history of undeniable success. The accepted standards of testing do not account for the many variables employees face on the jobsite, so we created our own tests, mirroring the conditions and hazards that our users face.

HexArmor® needlestick-resistant products work by layering SuperFabric® materials over each other. Our needlestick products are tested in countless real-world applications, making them the mostproven needlestick solution available on the market.

Puncture and Needle Testing Clarified The New ASTM F2878 Test

For years the EN388 and ASTM 1342 were the main tests used for measuring puncture resistance for PPE. The shortcoming of the EN388 and ASTM 1342 tests is that they do not replicate realworld puncture hazards such as needles, slivers, burrs, frayed wire, wire rope, or glass shards.

Is the Truth in the Test?

The reason that these tests are not relevant for puncture is simple. The test probe for the EN388 test is rounded and blunt, larger than the end of a ballpoint pen. The test measures more of a tear, or burst hazard, but has almost no relevance when it comes to needle or industrial testing. The test probe for the ASTM 1342 is thinner and more pointed than the E388 probe, but it still does not come close to replicating a needlestick hazard.

According to a March 11, 2011, ASTM Newsroom Press Release (#8815), this is an issue that the standards committees and other manufacturers recognized: Due to risk of infection from bloodborne pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C, hypodermic needles pose a life-safety risk to healthcare professionals, law enforcement officials, sanitation workers, and others. A new ASTM International standard addresses the unique mechanics of hypodermic needle puncture as related to protective clothing. ASTM F2878, Test Method for Protective Clothing Material Resistance to Hypodermic Needle Puncture, was developed by Subcommittee F23.20. Subcommittee F23.20 focuses on Physical properties and testing, and is part of the ASTM International Committee F23 on Personal Protective Clothing and Equipment. “Over the past several years, a number of new protective equipment technologies have been developed to prevent needlestick injuries; however, there has been no standardized test method available for technology developers and users to reference when conducting comparative analysis,” says John Cronin, product manager, Warwick Mills Inc., and an F23 member. “With the publication of ASTM F2878, there is now an appropriate method for conducting comparative analysis of hypodermic needle puncture resistance.”

HexArmor® and New ASTM F2878 Testing From left to right: EN388 Probe, ASTM 1342 Probe, 25G needle, ballpoint pen

HexArmor® has long understood the shortcomings of puncture tests and has been testing using a modified ASTM 1342 test with 25-gauge hypodermic needles. With the new ASTM F2878 test, we are now able to standardize testing based on international standards.

Overview of the ASTM F2878 Test • Testing can be done using a 21G, 25G, or 28G needle • The following tests used a 25G needle • Puncture probe (25G needle) travels at a 90˚ angle into a specimen at a velocity of 500mm/min • Amount of force necessary to puncture through the material specimen is recorded in newtons* to the nearest .01 N • This test is done 12 times for every specimen • The average of the 12 results is reported

The Results

We tested our needlestick and puncture-resistant gloves, as well as competitive gloves, using the ASTM F2878 methodology, producing the following results:

Our needlestick–resistant gloves and arm guards aren’t just lab tested, we test them with actual 25-gauge needles to give you maximum protection and peace of mind.

SteelLeather® III 5033 Saves a Worker’s Finger While replacing a steam valve in a manufacturing site, a maintenance worker was exposed to a nail on a wooden crate. The worker accidentally grabbed the crate where the nail was protruding. The nail punctured through the leather on the middle finger but was stopped by the protective liner in the HexArmor® SteelLeather® 5033 glove. The nail ripped the leather shell but did not puncture the protective layer of SuperFabric® material. HexArmor® saved the worker from serious injury, allowing the worker to continue the workday.

Tested Using the Industry’s Highest Standards Many arm and body protection products on the market will rate around a Level 1-2 on the ASTM F-1790 test (around 400 grams), which won’t protect workers from sharp edges, burrs on sheet metal, or metal castings. The limitations of leather, Kevlar®, and Dyneema® are that they offer little cut or puncture resistance. They may receive a “cut rating” on the industry standard but will fail in the field when exposed to normal work.

Be aware of the differences between the two tests to measure the cut resistance and protective qualities of materials. At HexArmor®, we favor ANSI/ISEA 105-2011 testing methods when evaluating PPE. Our competitors often use CE ratings to boost the perception of cut resistance with data that just doesn’t match up with tough ANSI/ISEA ratings. Our method of testing, the stringent ASTM 1790-97, applies a more difficult method that makes it harder to achieve higher ratings. By putting our PPE against the most rigorous testing available in the industry today, we are able to design and engineer better-performing products with a greater level of protection, for you and your body.

Cut Score Comparison As simple as the industry may try to make it sound, there remains an unsettling level of confusion in the cut-resistant glove market. With multiple 1-to-5 rating scales, a variety of acceptable or certified standards and methods, differing testing methods, and a slew of acronyms associated with the testing, safety managers may find themselves overwhelmed when sifting through potential cut-resistant PPE. But there is one thing that is met with general agreement in the hand-safety industry: not all cut-resistant gloves are created equal. With this in mind, it becomes vitally important that those making the PPE purchase decisions be fully informed on the cut-resistant products available to them.

ISEA/ANSI Accepts the ASTM Cut Test Standard, While the CE Certification Accepts the EN388 and ISO Test Standards While both parties report cut resistance on a numerical scale from Level 1 to Level 5, there are differences in these scales. A glove with ISEA/ANSI Level 3 cut resistance may not necessarily test at Level 3 on the CE method. The reason for this difference in the rating scale is the difference in accepted testing methods: • The ASTM F1790 measures the weight in grams needed to cut through a material when applied to a razor blade, tested over a distance. Thus, each cut from 1 to 5 denotes a specific range of weight, in ascending order.

Here is what you need to know about cut testing standards and how they apply to your safety program:

The United States Uses the ISEA/ ANSI-Accepted Standards, While Europe Uses the CEN Certification However, many gloves sold in North America will indicate both testing results. Keep in mind that the ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association)/ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is a committee of manufacturers and suppliers of safety equipment, as well as a group of standardization societies, which have established a standardized test for cut-resistant materials. On the other hand, the CE (Conformité Européenne) score of a glove is an actual certification, verifying a product has been properly tested, and the test results properly reported. Many manufacturers in North America will seek CE compliance, as it is required in Europe and other parts of the world.

• The EN388 Coup testing method is constructed much differently; it counts the rotations needed for a circular blade to cut through a material while moving laterally across the material under one constant weight. The count is indexed by use of a “control” fabric, such as standard cotton. This indexed value is then converted to a simple cut level, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5. • However, the EN388 Coup test is not recommended for materials with high levels of cut resistance, as these materials can easily dull the blade and skew the results. For CE Cut Levels of 4 and 5, an alternate test is proposed – the ISO 13997. Similar to the ASTM F1790, it measures the force needed to cut a material by way of a straight blade being moved across said material. The result is measured in newtons, which is directly translated to cut resistance.

Though many manufacturers will demonstrate the CE cut tests as a function of weight or force, this conversion is only a rough estimate of how the material will perform. Each test and testing standard is different in the way that it is performed and, thus, will only be loosely comparable by way of reporting results.

North American Manufacturers and Distributors Are Not Required to Certify Their Cut Resistance As the CE is the only certification-requiring body, vendors of safety gloves in North America are able to sell gloves without ever testing them for cut resistance. If they elect to test them for cut resistance, they are able to use any method they choose. Furthermore, the CE certification does not require the ISO 13997 for highly cut-resistant materials, but only recommends it. As such, a manufacturer of PPE in North America could feasibly run the EN388 Coup test on a cut-resistant material and, due to the nature of the test, return dramatically inaccurate results that portray the material to be far more resistant to cuts than it is in actuality. It is extremely important to gather information both about the material used in PPE, as well as the methods by which it is tested, before continuing with a purchase decision.

Per OSHA regulations, the final burden of responsibility concerning cut resistance falls on the employer. Though testing regulations and certifications are a viable starting point for a purchase decision process, they are never to be taken as a validation of the inherent protection offered to an employee.

Cut-Resistant PPE Manufacturers and Suppliers Can Provide Further Understanding of Cut Testing Ask questions and seek thorough explanations for the methods that they have selected to test their products. • Safety directors are encouraged to work with other industry professionals in analyzing the cut hazards in a given task, creating a practical testing method to verify the protection offered by PPE, and testing many different kinds of PPE in real-life situations. • Cut resistance does not always mean cut safety! Many products that resist blades will still subject employees to variably shaped sharp hazards, as well as lacerations that begin with a puncture. Testing a material against worksite hazards is vital to the success of a PPE program.

Be Smart About PPE Testing What to Do When Evaluating Gloves Real-world applications are different from cut tests done in a lab. Even cut tests may vary by using different methods and producing different results. When people hear the words “cut and puncture resistant,” most will have a tendency to want to do their own informal testing. Often they will put the glove on a hard, flat surface and run a sharp instrument over the surface of the glove to test for cut resistance. We do not encourage customers to test in this manner. Although testing with a knife or other sharp object on a hard surface like a table may seem like a good testing method, in reality it is not and has little semblance to real-world applications. Each HexArmor® product is unique, with unique cut, puncture, tear, and abrasion properties. We encourage testing using actual hazards in a manner that best represents real-world situations, WITHOUT anyone’s hand in the glove. If you have any questions about testing, or would like to talk to us about testing, please contact us. Abrasion resistance is also a critical factor in preventing hand injuries. In fact, if a glove fails too early due to wearing through from an abrasive hazard, the skin is quickly exposed to cut hazards. So the higher the abrasion level, the higher the level of protection from not just abrasion but from cut and punctures. Stability. Evaluate performance of a new glove versus a glove that has been worn for a day. Look for products that don’t degrade when exposed or used. Some products are affected when subject to abrasion, washed, or exposed to UV light. Many products on the market lack the ability to provide consistent performance.

Windup, all occurrences. Some materials can be caught in machine parts such as rotating grinding wheels or drills and sanding materials. This can pull the hand or finger into the equipment and cause severe injury to tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Protective gloves that prevent or reduce windup risks are available and can be used where risks are present. Fit plays a part in the level of protection. Gloves that are too tight may cut easier because many of the fibers used for cut resistance use a rolling action to increase cut resistance. When these fibers cannot roll, such as when they are stretched from an ill-fitting or wrong-sized glove, they can “lose” some of their cut resistance. Take an example from the kitchen and do this simple experiment: Put a cucumber on a cutting board and take a very sharp knife. Try to cut the cucumber with a sawing motion without holding the cucumber. It just rolls and doesn’t cut. Now hold that cucumber and do the same thing. It cuts very easily. So, tight-fitting gloves can perform like the immobilized cucumber. Loose-fitting gloves can also be a hazard for catching or snagging on tools and equipment. Make sure your glove program accounts for proper sizing and employees know what to look for when picking gloves. Coating impacts cut-resistant gloves that use cutresistant fibers. Once the coating is applied, the rolling and twisting that helps the fiber achieve its cut resistance can be reduced. Most coated gloves have higher cut resistance on the back-of-hand than on the palm because the fibers are not coated. Keep this in mind as you select your hand protection. Grip is also important. Using grip that isn’t appropriate for the job can lead to higher injury rates as objects with sharp edges slip, causing injury.

Glove Care: Why Does It Matter? Improper glove care can shorten the life of your PPE. It can also lead to dermatitis, decreased dexterity, loss of protective abilities, and odor. Glove care refers not only to laundering, but also proper storage, routine glove checks, and knowledge of materials and their particular strengths and weaknesses. Because there are so many different work gloves on the market, experienced safety managers should be aware of what workers’ gloves are made of and how they will stand up to the applications they’re being used for. Common glove materials include nylon, spandex, leather, cotton, SuperFabric®, Kevlar®, and knit fibers. Each of these materials has a certain way it needs to be cared for, and oftentimes there is a blending of the materials, making proper care even more crucial. Proper storage: Gloves should be ideally stored in clean, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Routine glove checks: Glove life varies based on application, environment, and amount of use. Because of this, it is vital that you perform routine glove checks, ideally before going to work every day. Take note of areas that may have begun to wear down, such as loose Velcro®, a worn-down nametag, lingering moisture, or a strong odor. Keeping an eye out for these issues and others keeps you one step further from a worksite hand injury, which is the ultimate goal of hand protection in the first place.

• Gloves marked “wash with care” are machine washable. The number inside the symbol denotes what temperature to wash the gloves at (e.g., machine wash with care at 30 degrees Celsius). Washing with care can be done by changing the machine cycle, using a different pre-set wash program (gentle/delicate), and being sure not to overload the washing machine. • When washing by hand it is important to use a soap and/or detergent that won’t irritate your skin. Also, be sure to wash gloves over a sink or outside, and rinse thoroughly. Companies who properly launder their gloves can increase lifespan by up to 300%. Laundering removes harmful chemicals, perspiration, and everyday grit and grime that can weaken protective fibers and seams. Our team of HexArmor® solutions specialists are here to help you with this process, and they are more than happy to provide you with all the information you need.

Care and content: Our C&C tag, which indicates washing instructions and fiber content, is located on the inside cuff of all our gloves.
