How Can the Abrasion-Resistant Gloves Protect My Hands?

The HyFlex Abrasion-Resistant Gloves are built with a selection of Ansell technologies to enhance its protective features. These include ZONZ, Grip Technology, FORTIX, and INTERCEPT.

Zonz Comfort Fit Technology

ZONZ Comfort Fit is a knit-pattern technology which helps to reduce strain on the hands caused by repetitive movements. It functions by specifying stitch details in key stress areas of the hands to offer a tailored fit and enhanced freedom of movement.

Ansell Grip Technology

Ansell Grip Technology is a coating treatment which optimises the glove grip strength. Grip Technology minimises the risk of slippage when handling dry, oily, and wet materials, which helps to prevent accidents. It also reduces the grip-strength needed during handling tasks, helping to relieve strain and fatigue of the hands.

Fortix Abrasion Resistance Technology

FORTIX is a patented Ansell technology which involves applying a thin, breathable nitrile foam coating to knitted gloves. This offers a good level of abrasion resistance for enhanced durability and safer handling of coarse and abrasive materials.

Intercept Cut Resistance Technology

For the HyFlex 11-531 Gloves, Ansell INTERCEPT Technology offers a basic level of cut resistance to protect against minor injuries in low-risk environments.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
