HexArmor 4018 Protection Ratings

EN 388

• 4X22F

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

• Incredible Level F cut-resistance rating is maximum available
• Touchscreen functional for use with smartphones, tablets and interface screens
• Guards the hand against blades, incisions, knives and sharp metal edges

Incredible Level F Cut Resistance Rating

Level F cut-resistance is the maximum rating awarded under EN 388. This incredible rating is not easy to achieve. It means a fabric can withstand an incredible 30 newtons of sharp pressure before showing signs of damage. This could be the difference between a sharp or blade causing serious injury and it becoming lodged in between the fabric of your glove.

SuperFabric Foundation Material

Every year, companies spend millions of pounds covering medical expenses that could be avoided. SuperFabric is a patented fabric formula exclusively manufactured by HexArmor to minimise workplace accidents. Targeted at the most industrial professionals and environments to ensure blades, wires, metal glass and needles don't cause serious injury.

Synthetic Leather Benefits

Synthetic leather has an unfair reputation. It is an incredibly durable, cruelty-free alternative that actually has a number of advantages over it's traditional leather counterparts. It is crack, sun-bleaching and stain resistant, making it ideal for outdoor application. When used as a palm coating, it proves incredibly durable and serves to enhance grip stability over long periods.

Velcro Wrist Fastener

Unlike other gloves that use a stationary knit wrist cuff, HexArmor include a Velcro wrist strap that allows the user to adjust tightness to match their application and desired style of fit. Prefer a looser fitting safety glove? Simply adjust the Velcro strap until comfortable.

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.
