HexArmor Law Enforcement Catalog
Advanced needlestick technology HexArmor ® sets the industry standard for needle protection by providing needlestick solutions that layer SuperFabric ® * brand material inside the gloves (exclusively licensed to HexArmor ® in the industrial PPE market) . SuperFabric ® is available in a variety of base fabrics with guard plates applied to arrest, deflect and stop punctures from reaching the skin’s surface. When a needle meets a SuperFabric ® guard plate, the material blocks and deflects the hazard. Needlestick testing The international standard ASTM F2878 addresses the unique mechanics of hypodermic needle punctures related to PPE and is performed using a 25-gauge needle. Standardized safety tests like the ASTM F2878 have made the selection process easier for safety managers seeking out application-specific PPE. HexArmor ® Pointguard ® products utilize 2 or 3 layers of SuperFabric ® protection to deliver needle resistance levels of 4 or 5, the highest rating possible. Cut testing Unlike typical fiber-based needlestick gloves, HexArmor ® with SuperFabric ® is designed to prevent hazards from puncturing through and ultimately penetrating the skin’s surface. Most of our SuperFabric ® PPE maintains industry-leading A6 to A9 rated cut levels. Purpose-built protection, beyond “slash” resistance While leather general-duty gloves have long been the standard in law enforcement, HexArmor’s specialized Pointguard ® needlestick products offer extreme protection when the situation arises. Needle resistance is different from industrial puncture and different from most cut-resistant technology you’re used to. Pointguard products are far advanced from standard leather, nitrile, or knit gloves.
