What is it?

HexArmor ® is an exclusive licensee of SuperFabric ® * brand material in the industrial PPE market. HexArmor ® products with SuperFabric ® brand material have a secret weapon against cut hazards that no other glove can boast. SuperFabric ® technology is designed to prevent lacerations and slashes from reaching the skin. Hundreds of tiny guard plates configured on a substrate make the material both tough and flexible. HexArmor ® EXT Rescue ® gloves are built with SuperFabric ® in the palm and fingertips, hidden underneath the outermost layer.

What does SuperFabric ® do? SuperFabric ® brand materials resist cut, puncture, and abrasion damage at the highest level. For over a decade, HexArmor ® has been using SuperFabric ® to solve industrial hand safety issues. If an unexpected sharp hazard meets a HexArmor ® glove, the SuperFabric layer works as the last line of defense to keep the user injury-free.

Puncture resistance Many lacerations begin with a puncture

Standard Synthetic Leather Gloves

A glove with excellent cut protection often lacks adequate puncture protection, which is the number one cause of cuts. In fact, almost all lacerations begin with a puncture. Sharp hazards found at crash sites, such as glass shards and cut metal edges, can poke through the glove, then drag across the hand and rip through the material and the skin. Common cut-resistant materials such as Dyneema ® or Kevlar ® provide some protection from straight-edged hazards, but they can be easily pierced because of the knit properties of the material. HexArmor ® puncture-resistant technology relies on patented SuperFabric ® guard plates to stop hazards and prevent injuries. All puncture-resistant HexArmor ® gloves are put to the test in the lab and in the field.
