Health standards

All HexArmor ® products are REACH compliant, with the exception of Ugly Mudder ® gloves. When products are REACH compliant, it means that there are no substances present that are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic, persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic.

Additionally, the Helix ® 1090 and 2066 are tested by the ProDerm Institute or Applied Dermatological Research, ruling them free of silicones, solvents, and fiberglass – making them safe for sensitive skin. They also meet the stringent Oeko-Tex ® Standard. This global standard

When people hear the words “cut and puncture-resistant,” most will have a tendency to want to do their own informal testing. Often they will put the glove on a hard flat surface and run a sharp instrument over the surface of the glove to test for cut resistance. We do not encourage customers to test in this manner. Although testing with a knife or other sharp object on a hard surface like a table may seem like a good testing method, in reality it is not and has little resemblance to real-world applications. Each HexArmor ® product is unique in their cut, puncture, tear, and abrasion properties. We encourage testing using actual hazards in a manner that best represents real-world situations, WITHOUT anyone’s hand in the glove. If you have any questions or would like to talk to us about testing, please contact us. Be smart about testing tests every material in gloves for harmful substances and ensures that gloves were made in an environmentally friendly production facility. In accordance with the criteria of Oeko-Tex ® Standard, 100 tested textiles guarantee that there are no substances that affect human health and are dermatologically approved.
