Every worker. Every glove. Every day. Cut resistance is in our DNA. It’s who we are. We’ve spent more than a decade solving the toughest problems other manufacturers said couldn’t be solved. Along the way, we’ve eliminated millions of hand injuries, and subsequently, our customers started asking for more industry-leading glove solutions. They wanted a glove line that covered the entire cut spectrum. So, we went to work. The Helix ® series brings you the best, highest quality line-up of seamless coated gloves on the market, covering the entire cut resistance range with multiple knit and coating options: the Helix ® Series. Innovation intertwined with cut-resistance, high dexterity and a breadth of grip options - that’s the Helix ® Series. Helix ® from HexArmor ® features exceptional knit gloves with strong, yet extremely dexterous, natural, and engineered yarns that offer the largest range of protection on the market. A series that answers the call of duty from the manufacturing floor to the construction site, these knit gloves have consistent sizing and fit in a variety of palm coatings that can be used for everything – wet, oily, or dry applications.
With Helix ® , no matter the application, there’s a proper glove available, from the oil field, to the manufacturing floor, to the paper mill.
Cut resistance The Helix ® line covers the largest range of cut resistant seamless gloves, from level A1 to A6, as well as the highest ANSI/ISEA cut gram score 18-gauge gloves (1900 grams) and 13-gauge gloves (3900 grams) in the industry.

Glove materials
You may sometimes hear knit gloves referred to as a “13-gauge” or “18-gauge” glove. The term gauge simply refers to the size and type of needles used in a seamless knitting machine to produce a glove. The lower the gauge of a glove, the bulkier and less dexterous it is. The higher the gauge a glove is, the thinner and more dexterous and comfortable the glove can be.

Innovation
Ergonomic hand formers Because of HexArmor’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, we’ve gone beyond the industry standard to create the Helix ® Series. Ergonomic hand formers are used to achieve a true fit in the 2066 styles. From finger tips to wrist, helping to reduce hand fatigue, and increasing the consistency and quality of fit.
Health standards Most Helix ® series gloves are REACH compliant, with a handful tested by the ProDerm Institute for Applied Dermatological Research, ruling them free of silicones and solvents – making them safe for sensitive skin. The Helix 2066 also meet the stringent Oeko Tex Standard. This global standard tests every material in gloves for harmful substances and ensures that gloves were made in an environmentally friendly production facility.
In accordance with the criteria of Oeko-Tex ® Standard 100 tested textiles guarantee that there are no substances that affect human health. The safety gloves awarded this quality seal were clinically tested by the proDerm Institute for Applied Dermatological Research and are dermatologically approved. REACH Compliant: Avoidance of substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic, persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic.

Design innovations While most gloves act as a safety barrier, when using hand held screwdriving tools, gloves can become a hazard when they get caught in these moving machine parts. This can pull the hand or finger into the equipment and cause severe injury to tendons, muscles, and ligaments – and can even sever the finger. Safe Finger Release Technology (SFR) is a high-tech innovation that features breakaway fingers, making it an ideal glove solution for applications where gloves need to be worn while operating hand held screwdriving tools that are powered pneumatically or electronically.

Cut standards explained
In February 2016, the standards outlined in the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) for Hand Protection Selection Criteria (ANSI/ISEA 105-16) changed. In April 2018, changes were also made to the EN 388 European regulatory standard for protective gloves (CE). These new glove standards will help safety managers choose the proper hand protection with greater precision and confidence. Understanding the changes to the ANSI/ISEA 105 American national standard for hand protection To apply consistent meaning to ANSI/ISEA 105 cut ratings for the end user, a single test method is now used for establishing cut levels (ASTM F2992-15). In addition, the number of classification levels was expanded both to address the gaps of protection between cut levels and to model the classification approach used in similar international standards. The standard employs a 9-level scale (expressed as A1-A9) that spans 0 grams to 6,000 grams of cut resistance. This allows for more accurate identification of cut protection. The most significant change calls for cut level 4—which formerly ranged from 1,500 grams to 3,500 grams of cut resistance — to be divided into three separate levels. The more granular rating allows end users to better identify a level of cut resistance that meets their specific safety requirements. Cut Resistance Rating System: What’s Changing

NEW 2016 ANSI/ISEA 105
ANSI/ISEA 105 cut resistance testing In addition to a more accurate cut resistance classification scale, the ANSI/ISEA 105-16 now only references the Tomodynamometer Test Method (TDM) based on the ASTM F2992-15, discarding the Cut Protection Performance Tester (CPPT) methods formerly recognized as the alternative test(s). The TDM determines the amount of weight, measured in grams, necessary for a blade to achieve cut-through of PPE material at the reference distance of 20 MM of blade travel (a change from the old standards which referenced both 20 MM and 25 MM, depending on the testing standard used). Understanding the changes to the EN 388 European standard for cut resistance As of April 2018, a number of important changes were finalized to the EU cut resistance standard, EN 388. Most notably, the changes address inconsistencies with the Coup Test and provide additional cut levels for highly cut-resistant materials.
877.MYARMOR | hexarmor.com
EN 388 cut resistance testing + new glove markings The EN 388 standard now requires the Coup Test and the TDM-100 Test (ISO 13977) in certain situations. The TDM-100 test is required only if a highly cut-resistant material has not been cut through after 60 rotations with the Coup Test. However, the TDM-100 test can be used on its own without using the Coup Test first. With the Coup Test, a circular blade moves back and forth across a material sample under a fixed load of 500 grams (a very low force, amounting to less than one pound). The number of blade revolutions needed to cut through the material is then compared to a control sample. The ratio of the sample to the control is converted to an index that is applied to a five-point rating scale—1 (low) to 5 (high). With the updated standard, this test is limited to a maximum of 60 rotations, whether the blade has cut through the material or not. If the test reaches 60 rotations and the material has not been cut through, the TDM-100 test must then be implemented. The TDM testing machine measures cut resistance using a straight blade and variable weight (like the ANSI/ ISEA 105 cut test). The ISO 13997 reports results in Newtons and yields scores expressed by Letters A (low) to Level F (high). If the TDM Test is implemented, it is expressed as the fifth placement on the CE Marking, as seen on the “New Marking” portion of the graph below.

North American manufacturers and distributors are not required to certify their cut resistance The CE is the only certification-requiring body for PPE, meaning the product has been verifiably tested and results reported. CE marking is required before legally being sold into the European market. This is different from North America where the ANSI/ISEA establishes only standardizations for cut-resistant materials. This means North American manufacturers and distributors can claim cut resistance and sell their products in North America without ever testing them. If they do elect to test them for cut resistance, they can use any method they choose. For this reason, 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. HexArmor ® recommends following the ANSI/ISEA 105:2016 standard when selecting appropriate hand protection. The employer is ultimately responsible for providing PPE that meets employees’ needs Per OSHA regulations, the burden of responsibility concerning cut resistance falls on the employer. Though testing regulations and certifications are a viable starting point for the purchase decision process, they are never to be taken as isolated validation of the protection offered to an employee. 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. More information on each of these tests listed can be found on these websites: • www.astm.org • www.iso.org • www.cen.eu

The importance of a glove trial
A glove trial is the process of field-testing different models of safety gloves, either from a single source or several manufacturers, in order to identify the best glove for a particular job. When done correctly, the benefits of a glove trial include: • I mproved hand safety program and equipment and reduced rate of hand injuries • I ncreased awareness of hand safety issues among workers • Higher rates of compliance with hand safety PPE requirements • R eduction in costs related to hand protection, through increased efficiency and durability of work gloves, or reduced insurance rates, medical costs, and workers’ comp claims Work conditions vary from one job to another. There is no way to tell how effective a particular safety glove will be without testing it in the field to see how it holds up and protects against the actual hazards encountered in the workplace. Although a glove may have tested well in laboratory settings and been granted a high cut rating, it may lack abrasion resistance and break down quickly in the field. If a glove doesn’t offer the same level of protection at the end of the work day as it does at the beginning, then you need to consider another option. To ensure you avoid wasting time and energy on a poorly-run glove trial, we have outlined a set of proven steps you can take in the glove trial process. These tips and recommendations come from over a decade of experience working with large industrial companies.

How to properly care for your gloves 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. Cleaning + care Most gloves and arm and body PPE are machine washable. Please see hexarmor.com for product specific washing instructions. Increase your glove lifespan 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.
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. Often there is a blending of the materials, making proper care even more crucial. Proper storage Gloves should be stored in clean, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Routine glove checks Glove life varies depending on the application, environment, and amount of use. It is vital that you perform routine glove checks before beginning work every day. Take note of areas that have begun to wear down, such as loose hook and loop closures or a worn-down name tag. If you see holes in the synthetic leather or TP-X ® material on the palm of your glove, this is an indication that its protective qualities may be compromised, putting you at risk of injury. Lingering moisture or a strong odor are also signs that your gloves may need to be replaced. Keeping an eye out for these issues (and others) takes you one step further from a worksite hand injury, which is the ultimate goal of hand protection.
