Shock absorption & cut-resistance
Offering a range of cut resistance up to EN388 level 5 along with excellent comfort and grip, Honeywell’s new Skeleton gloves provide superior protection for those who handle sharp objects, often in wet or greasy environments, and who are at risk of impact injuries to their fingers and the backs of their hands.
The gloves are available in a range of cut-resistance levels meeting the EN388 standard for gloves providing protection from mechanical risks. Skeleton with level 1 protection is made from fibre polyester for use in general purpose dry environments. Skeleton with level 3 protection is made with high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) for the handling of sharp objects in a dry environment. The highest form of protection, found in the level 5 gloves, uses composite and Kevlar materials to provide cut resistance in wet or greasy environments.
In addition to cut resistance, Skeleton gloves uses fully knitted, dipped technology, which reduces the risk of tearing at the seams, a common problem with cut-and -sewn gloves. It also ensures the gloves are lightweight and comfortable to wear and that users’ dexterity is not compromised. The nitrile coating on the gloves offers outstanding grip in wet and oily environments as well as excellent abrasion resistance.
Available in sizes eight to 10 across EMEAI, Skeleton gloves are certified to the requirements of the EN388 – 4542 standard.
