What's Included?

• 1 x Pair of Gloves

Which Size Is Right For Me?

The Ansell HyFlex 48-135 Gloves are available in a range of sizes. To discover the right size for you, measure the length of your hand and the circumference of your palm (as seen below). Once you have these measurements, use the table below to find the right fit for you.

Who Can Use the HyFlex ESD Gloves?

Ansell's HyFlex ESD Gloves are suitable for a range of tasks involving the use of moving machinery or electrical products. They are ideal for light-duty applications, including:

• Light-duty mechanical gloves
• Light-duty industrial gloves
• Final assembly of dashboard, cables, and wires
• Final assembly of electronic components and motherboards

How Do the HyFlex 48-135 Gloves Protect My Hands?

The gloves are designed to minimise the risk of ESD, which is the release of stored static electricity. This is most common in industries with a lot of moving machinery and the handling of electrical products. The gloves are designed with antistatic materials, including a polyurethane fingertip coating for electrical resistance. This protects both your hands and any electrical products you may need to handle, preventing damage to the products. As well as offering protection from static shocks, the fingertip coating improves the fit of the gloves while allowing a good level of flexibility while wearing.

Please Note: While these gloves provide electro-static discharge protection, they do not insulate the hands against high-voltage electric current. DO NOT use the HyFlex 48-135 gloves to handle live wires, or for protection against an electric current.

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.
