HexArmor - Oil & Gas

Cut and Puncture Resistance

Most Lacerations Begin As A Puncture

Cut protection isn’t complete without puncture protection. The materials commonly found in cut-resistant safety gloves – blends of yarns such as Kevlar ® or Dyneema ® – provide some level of protection from straight- edged hazards. However, they don’t offer sufficient protection from variable hazards such as metal burrs, wires, or slivers commonly found in oil and gas production environments. When a sharp corner, burr, wire “wicker” or, other protruding hazard comes into contact with the hand, it can penetrate the glove and scrape or cut the skin. With high-performance fiber knit gloves, the hazard will poke through the knit shell of the glove and tear laterally to create a laceration. Gloves that have cut resistance often lack the puncture protection needed to stop lacerations.
