goSafe Facility Hand Protection Guide

The Machinery & Equipment Industry

The hazards of the Machinery and Equipment industry are numerous. Protection may be required for dry envi - ronments, or where a firm grip is required under wet and oily conditions. High dexterity and tactility, electrical protection, cold weather resistance, or liquid repellence may also be required.

For welding, bonding, riveting, injection molding, lo - gistics, and stamping processes, Ansell’s HyFlex ® , ActivArmr ® , and PowerFlex ® provide a large selec - tion of gloves that offer everything from the optimal balance of flexibility and performance to specially engineered gloves with impact armor and arc flash protection. Ansell HyFlex ® combines multiple glove technolo - gies into a lightweight glove. Ansell Grip Technolo- gy,™ ZONZ™ Knit Comfort Technology , and even the Intercept™ technology is packed into these gloves. They also offer the largest cut-resistant portfolio in their light-duty segment. Ansell PowerFlex ® is a technology which provides excellent flame, cut, and abrasion resistance that is simply beyond comparison to competitors prod - ucts. AlphaTec ® is an excellent choice for chemical resis - tant gloves for painting, chassis assembly, general maintenance, and equipment mounting. This brand offers workers comfort and confidence in demand - ing chemical environments with ranges of support - ing and non-supportive gloves. Ansell’s Xceed ® products are designed for equip - ment related inspections and precise handling, and are ideal for work requiring precision in a controlled environment. Heavy machinery carries its own weight when it comes to hazards. Hand protection that offers the highest level of cut and abrasion resistance, like Ansell’s PowerFlex ® and Marigold ® Comacier VHP gloves, can help provide essential protection.

As the leading manufacturer of cut resistant gloves and sleeves in the United States, PIP® offers a wide range of hand protection technologies designed to protect workers from the many hazards faced in the machinery and equipment industry. For cut resis - tance or precision handling in wet, oily, or dry en - vironments, PIP’s ATG® MaxiFlex® Cut™ or ATG® MaxiFlex® Ultimate™ are ideal choices. Features include a MicroFoam nitrile coating that disperses fluids on contact for enhanced grip and abrasion resistance and a hi-vis yellow coating option to en - hance hand/eye acuity on the job. When impact, cut and abrasion resistance is nec - essary along with a secure grip, PIP’s G-Tek® PolyKor® Impact Series technology offers ANSI rated cut and impact resistance with a nitrile foam coating designed to disperse fluids on contact for unmatched grip. An aramid reinforced thumb crotch supports an extended glove life, enhanced comfort, increased abrasion resistance, and added durabili - ty in a high-wear area. For cut protection and heat resistance, G-Tek® KEV™ technology features Du- Pont™ Kevlar® , known for lightweight, comfortable, and enduring protection against heat, cuts, lacera - tions, and abrasions. ATG® MaxiChem® is designed and developed for those working with chemicals and hazardous liq - uids for longer times of exposure, while Grippaz® extended-use gloves feature a fish scale pattern that provides liquid protection for less prolonged exposure times and unparalleled grip performance. Ergonomically designed to provide traction grip on the outside and on the inside - tough stretch formu - la ESD safe nitrile fits more snugly than traditional gloves and offers maximum comfort, multiple use durability, and dexterity.
