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.

• Exceeds ASTM/ISEA and CE Level 5 • Shielding effect keeps sharp hazards (metal, blades, glass) from slipping between fibers and causing injury • Won’t snag or abrade like typical fiberbased cut-resistant products

needlestick resistance • Multiple aligned layers of fabric provide extra resistance against needle hazards • Layered guard plates arrest, trap, and block needles and other hazards • Products tested using ASTM-F2878

• SuperFabric® guardplates act as a shield from punctures, deflecting and blocking hazards • Spacing between guardplates provides flexibility and breathability

abrasion resistance • Incredibly high abrasion resistance, outlasting competitors and providing protection longer into product life • Longer durability means better ROI and higher performance later in product 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.

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™

HexArmor® IR-X® Impact Guards

The most advanced HexArmor® impact resistance comes with all the dexterity, all the comfort, and more protection than that offered by any other impact-protective 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. In addition to being 42% taller than competitive impact guards, IR-X® smash guards are purposebuilt 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.

The HexArmor® IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™ is 42% taller than competitive impact guards, creating an even greater barrier between your hand and impact and smash injuries.

HexDri® Gloves by HexArmor® with H3O® Technology

Proprietary H3O® technology used in HexDri® work gloves keeps water and wind out of the glove and away from your hands, while the back-ofhand fabric simultaneously wicks away sweat and moisture from the inside of the glove.

Waterproof Windproof

High Dexterity Design

Water beads up on contact, keeping hands dry and comfortable.

The new HexDri® 2180 by HexArmor® provides the same protection from the elements you expect from rubber gloves, but they keep your hands comfortable because they’re breathable, too.

Releases Sweat and Heat

The problem with most “waterproof” gloves is that they get their water barrier from a liner on the inside of the glove. So when the glove gets wet, the outer layer absorbs the liquid, making the glove bulky, heavy, and stretched out. This compromises grip and dexterity, making it hard to do your job. HexArmor® created the HexDri® 2180 to solve this problem. The rubber palm provides exceptional grip in wet environments, without sacrificing dexterity or tactile sensitivity. If you’re working in an environment with wet conditions, there’s only one glove that is guaranteed to be “no wet, and no sweat.” It’s the HexDri® 2180 with H3O® technology, only from HexArmor®.

features: HexArmor® Chrome Series® gloves are built for a wide array of applications. Each product in the series was crafted to fit a hand with a specific purpose. The Chrome Core™ gloves were designed with comfort in mind, providing unsurpassed dexterity while maintaining the highest level of cut resistance. Most of the Chrome Series® also features purpose-built back-of-hand protection as well, from our SuperFabric® knuckle patch to counter abrasion hazards, to our advanced impact protection system, designed to dissipate forceful blows over a large area. And with the incorporation of both waterproof and HexVent® technologies, you can be certain that the Chrome Series® will keep your hands protected in any hazardous condition.

Cut protection to change the industry

20x more cut resistance than standard leather Mechanic’s-style gloves fit well, are comfortable, and offer great dexterity. Too often, however, safety managers can’t use them; thin synthetic leather and nylon aren’t strong enough to prevent injuries. When 250 grams is considered cut resistant, you have a problem. This led to the idea that HexArmor® could use our advanced technologies to create safe mechanic’s gloves without sacrificing the comfort or dexterity. Chrome Series® gloves exceed ISEA Level 5 cut resistance, providing over 5000 grams of protection, 20 times the amount offered by a standard leather glove. How did we do it? We went to the lab and started working on a new version of SuperFabric® that would feel softer and provide more flexibility but still deliver the highest level of performance. Through our partnership with HDM®, we reformulated the technology and created something that was on a whole new level of safety and comfort. The rest is history – about HexArmor® making the world’s highest-performing mechanic’s gloves. Don’t settle for anything less than the safest mechanic’sstyle glove on the market.

The Chrome Series® from HexArmor® pairs safety and function, offering the highest level of cut resistance available.

upstream exploration operations to categorize the different types of hand injuries.

Engineering the ideal glove solution The ability of HexArmor® to design and engineer products that address smash injuries, as well as cuts and punctures, created an opportunity to work directly with the safety teams in these large oil and gas companies. All parties realized that while competitive “advanced technology” gloves provided some protection against impact injuries, they did not offer the level of protection needed to prevent cut and puncture injuries. HexArmor® took feedback from field workers on oil rigs

The study found that more than half of the hand injuries were a result of a smash or contusion. These injuries most frequently occur while moving drill pipe, pushing tools, pulling chain, rigging up and down in frac applications, and securing pipe valves. As a result, several PPE manufacturers developed “advanced technology gloves” with varying levels of impact protection. The second-highest cause of injuries reported was categorized as cut and puncture (laceration). As service companies like Halliburton® and Schlumberger® looked at the cause of hand injuries, they saw a very high percentage (approximately half) of injuries that were categorized as laceration, puncture, or abrasion related.

and drill sites and used these insights to develop a full line of high-performance hand protection that addressed smash issues plus the cut and puncture problems that had not been solved by previous manufacturers. Using proprietary technologies like IR-X® smash guards and SuperFabric® brand material, HexArmor® was able to help companies push their hand protection program to a higher level of safety. GGT5® Gator Grip™ Series gloves provide the most protection from cuts, punctures, and smash injuries out of all oil and gas gloves. We have engineered the GGT5® Series to handle various lubricants (4021X for oil-based muds and 4020X for friction reducers) and offer a coldweather version (4031) with a thermal waterproof liner.

These results initiated a search for a higher level of hand protection capable of reducing or eliminating smash issues as well as cuts and punctures. Through extensive research, Halliburton® and Conoco Phillips® chose to partner with

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. We went out and asked the heroes in the field what they needed out of their rescue gloves. It’s a good thing we did; they helped us create a line of products that we are proud to call the HexArmor® EXT Rescue® Series. “I was really trying to get this thing to back off…and I thought I was getting ready to lose my hand. I was starting to panic there for a second. These gloves, I swear just saved my hands from being crushed in there.” - John, Coopersville FD

SteelLeather® 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.

features: • High performance on standard industry tests (exceeds Level 5 on ASTM F1790 and EN388) • Exceptional performance in real-world application testing – NXT ™ doesn’t have the weaknesses of standard fiber-knit products, which provide less protection from cuts and punctures when immobilized, under tension, or coated • Provides significantly higher abrasion resistance as compared to standard fiber-knit products, which means higher performance longer into the product’s life • Machine washable

a revolution in hand protection technology HexArmor ® set out with the mission of protecting grocery and food service workers from the constant threat of cut injuries while maintaining the dexterity and comfort that is required to perform everyday tasks. Thin and flexible knit gloves are highly functional but unsafe, and every layer of cut protection added inside a knit glove reduces the usability. The HexArmor ® team was able to develop, through extensive trialing and testing, the revolutionary TruShield® technology. Our proprietary Coretek ® blend of fibers creates a high-performance glove structure that is specially designed to house our SuperFabric ® guard plates, creating an ASTM Level 5 cut-resistant shield on the exterior of the user’s hand while effectively preserving all the dexterity of an ordinary knit glove.

TruShield® Performance Platform Cut/Puncture Hazard

Cut/Puncture Hazard ® armor NXT™ products are made with SuperFabric plating combined with our own proprietary blend of Fiber Windowing Coretek ® performance fibers. The plating is bonded to Cut Injury the fibers, reducing the ability of fibers to “window,” or separate, and preventing cut and jagged puncture hazards from reaching the user’s hand. • Shielding reduces ability of sharp hazards to skip Shell between fibers Fabric and cut or puncture the hand

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.

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. The reasons that HexArmor® was able to impact the safety program at this large grocery chain were as follows: • 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

features: 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 material’s superior level of performance. Learn more about new and existing needlestick tests on pages 62-63.

The only proven needle solution

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 bloodborne 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® needlestick-resistant products work by layering SuperFabric® materials over each other. HexArmor® needlestick-resistant products are tested in a countless real-world applications, making them the most-proven needlestick solution available.

HexArmor® sets the industry standard for needle protection with solutions for a variety of applications. High-performance SuperFabric® technology is engineered to provide the highest levels of needle and cut protection available on the market. Three layers of SuperFabric® brand materials create the only proven needlestick protection available today. Our needlestick-resistant products do more than simply pass industry-accepted testing methods; we have 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. The result of this hard work has been an extensive line of safety products that have been proven as the only solution to needlestick hazards.

By validating cut resistance to the industry’s highest testing standards – ISEA Level 5 Ratings – we give you the confidence and assurance that your PPE will live up to the superior protection and quality the HexArmor® name is known for. 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® is 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.

“We’ve been using HexArmor® arm guards for almost three years without an injury. Recently, a HexArmor® rep came through the plant. He asked how long they were lasting until we had to replace them, and we told him, ‘We haven’t yet!’” - Frank M, Safety Manager, Major Steel Plant

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 real-world puncture hazards such as needles, slivers, burrs, frayed wire, wire rope, or glass shards.

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 blood-borne 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

Is the Truth in the Test?

addresses the unique mechanics of hypodermic needle

The reason that these tests are not relevant for puncture

Test Method for Protective Clothing Material Resistance

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.

puncture as related to protective clothing. ASTM F2878, to Hypodermic Needle Puncture, was developed by Subcommittee F23.20 on Physical, part of 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 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. From left to right: EN388 Probe, ASTM 1342 Probe, 25G needle, ballpoint pen

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 Our needle–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.

cut score comparison Isea/Ansi Accepts The Astm Cut Test Standard, While The Ce Certification Accepts The en388 And ISO Test Standards

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, as well as a slew of acronyms associated with the testing, safety managers may find themselves overwhelmed when sifting through potential cut-resistant PPE.

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:

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.

• 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/AnsiAccepted Standards, While Europe Uses The Cen Certification

*Bar represents minimum gram rating to achieve each level.

4500 4000

• 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.

*Testing done through all materials on palm, including added patches

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.

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.

The Employer Is Ultimately Responsible For Providing Ppe That Meets Employees’ Needs

Prior to 2004, a cut length of 25mm was required when Rotating & Linear Blade performing the test; the specifications have since been Movement updated to require only 20mm. The update was made so that both the Tomodynamometer (TDM) and Cut Protection Performance Tester (CPPT) testing machines would be Fabric comparable. Be certain when comparing Sampledata that the Conductive same test is used for each productStrip in the comparison.

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.

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.

Cut-Resistant Ppe Manufacturers And Suppliers Can Provide Further Understanding Of Cut Testing Ask them 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.

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.

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 a higher cut resistance on the back of the 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 name tag, 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.
