Ansell, a global provider of protection solutions, offers a suite of HyFlex gloves engineered with next-generation INTERCEPT Technology yarns. "INTERCEPT Technology cut resistance solutions are part of a portfolio of advanced technologies developed by Ansell, featuring an innovative new knitting technology which blends engineered, synthetic and natural fibers into high-performance yarns," said a company spokesperson. Ansell offers eight new cut-resistant medium and light-duty HyFlex INTERCEPT glove styles, which are designed to provide the comfort and dexterity required by demanding industrial workplaces.
"We are excited to launch Ansell's INTERCEPT Technology, a comprehensive product development platform for cut protection innovation," said Scott Corriveau, President and General Manager of Ansell's Industrial Global Business Unit. "Ansell INTERCEPT Technology enhances hand protection and productivity in work environments where sharp tools and materials are handled and cut risks are ever present. These environments include the automotive, metal fabrication and machinery equipment industries."
"At Ansell, we believe everything starts with first understanding, and then meeting the critical needs of end users, which revolve around performance, protection and comfort," said Darryl Nazareth, Senior Vice President of Research and Development for the Ansell Industrial Global Business Unit. "Through the discovery and development process for INTERCEPT Technology, we learned invaluable insights and have created a portfolio of protection solutions that meet the safety needs of today's global industrial workers. The INTERCEPT platform will allow us to enhance future generations of cut protection products and technologies that respond to changing workplace safety needs."
Offered in EN cut level 3, 4 and 5, and ANSI equivalent cut protection styles, the eight new medium- and light-duty glove styles complement a portfolio of Ansell cut protection options. "The four new light-duty styles are nitrile based and eight times more breathable than similar lightweight gloves and two and a half times more breathable than other cut protection gloves, according to tests conducted in Ansell R&D labs," said the spokesperson. "New engineered fibers offer protection against cut risks." The styles include the following.
