- Para-Aramid: Delivers cut and heat resistance for high-risk environments.
- Cotton: Ensures comfort and breathability for light-duty tasks.
- UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene): Premium cut resistance without steel or glass fibers.
- Leather (Smooth Grain): Durable, supple, and resistant to oil and water.
- Polyester: Known for its durability and long-lasting performance.
- Glass Fiber: Excellent cut resistance for heavy-duty applications.
- Acrylic: Provides insulation for cold environments.
Dipping Materials
- Nitrile: Superior resistance to abrasion and chemicals, with excellent dry grip.
- Neoprene: Reliable grip in dry, wet, and oily conditions.
- Nitrile Sandy: High abrasion resistance with wet and dry grip.
- Nitrile Micro Foam: Enhances dexterity and touch sensitivity.
- Nitrile Foam: Ideal for oil and wet grip applications.
- PU (Polyurethane): Good abrasion resistance and dry grip.
- Latex: Offers reliable dry and wet grip.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Resists abrasion and provides grip in dry, wet, and oily conditions.
- TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber): Designed for impact protection.
- TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizates):Combines durability with flexibility.
Industry Standards: Ensuring Unmatched Protection
TECHACS gloves are rigorously tested to meet and exceed industry standards, ensuring they deliver the highest level of protection.
ANSI/ISEA 138-2019
- Impact-Resistant Gloves: This standard classifies gloves based on their ability to protect against impact. Gloves are tested by dropping a 5-joule mass on the knuckles and fingers, with results averaged to determine performance levels (1, 2, or 3).
ASTM F2675-13
- Arc Flash Protection: Measures the arc thermal performance value (ATPV) of gloves, ensuring they provide adequate protection against electrical arc flashes.
ANSI/ISEA 105
- Hand Protection Classification:Categorizes gloves based on their performance in cut resistance, puncture resistance, abrasion resistance, and more.
Performance Levels Explained
Cut Resistance (ASTM F2992-15)
- Gloves are tested with a straight-edge blade under load, with results classified from A1 to A9. Higher levels indicate greater cut resistance.
Puncture Resistance
- Gloves are rated based on the force required to puncture the material, with levels ranging from 1 to 5.
Abrasion Resistance
- Tested using abrasion cycles, gloves are classified from level 0 to 6, with higher levels indicating greater durability.
Chemical Permeation Resistance
- Gloves are tested for their ability to resist chemical permeation, with breakthrough times classified from level 0 to 6.
Heat and Flame Protection
- Gloves are rated for ignition resistance, burning behavior, and conductive heat resistance, ensuring they can withstand high temperatures.
