Ansell introduces flame and cut resistant glove

According to Ansell, the flame-resistant proprietary foam coating, provides enhanced grip in dry, wet and oily applications, resulting in reduced worker fatigue and improved work productivity. Its innovative liner design is claimed to offer superior cut resistance (European EN level 5, the highest rating) making this glove “a true multi-dimensional solution for reducing hand-related injuries.”
Sales and marketing director Jrme Feuvrier said it provides exceptional protection for workers.
“The exclusive composite yarn, has a core glass fibre that provides the high level of cut protection, while at the same time dissipating electrostatic charges. All components are inherently flame resistant, not chemically applied; therefore they maintain their protective properties throughout the life of the product.”
The company says it has developed the glove based on research into unmet customer needs. It combines flame resistance, cut resistance and enhanced grip performance in an ergonomically-friendly and comfortable design.
 “Testing in one of the world’s most demanding work environments – oil sands operations in Canada – saw more than 200 workers use the glove in 12 different applications including construction, electrical work, heavy maintenance and repair, oil refining and pipe fitting. Top rated features of the new glove included fit, feel and grip,” Feuvrier said.
