Cut Resistance

HexArmor® products use SuperFabric® brand technology, which provides protection against cuts and slashes like no other material in the world. Cut protection is provided by the tough, hard, guard plates that are adhered to high performance fabrics. It is engineered to provide high levels of protection from very sharp objects such as knives, razor blades and glass. When you need high cut resistance, reach for HexArmor.

Puncture Resistance

Due to their inherent construction, conventional materials such as cotton, leather, aramids, and nylons are unable to stop sharp objects from penetrating through the material. HexArmor products, made with SuperFabric brand material, use tiny guard plates that are adhered to high performance fabrics in order to provide superior puncture protection.

Needlestick Resistance

HexArmor provides industry leading needlestick resistance. Because the gap between the SuperFabric guard plates is so small, and because we use multiple layers, HexArmor products deliver the highest levels of protection from sharp objects such as needles. As a sharp hazard enters the fabric, it is arrested by one or more layers of fabric as it strikes the guard plates.

The highest level of protection is provided from the three-layered SuperFabric. While the products with one layer provide some needlestick resistance, they are not recommended for use with needle hazards. However, many of our needlestick products are recommended for use with other sharps hazards such as wire, metal, fine glass and metal shavings.

Armor Inside

When is a glove more than just a glove? When it has the Armor Inside™. HexArmor gloves have a hidden layer of SuperFabric sewn into the palm, delivering unparalleled performance. Once you know the inside story, you’ll never reach for another glove again.
