Worker’s finger saved by HexArmor® | Lumber safety

A nail on a wooden crate caught the finger of this employee's hand, ripping through the tough synthetic leather of the glove. The SuperFabric® brand material defended the laceration and kept the worker's hands completely untouched.

SteelLeather® III 5033 in action!

While replacing a steam valve in a manufacturing site, a maintenance worker was exposed to a nail on a wooden crate.

The worker accidentally grabbed the crate where the nail was protruding. The nail punctured through the leather on the middle finger but was stopped by the SuperFabric® brand material protective liner in the SteelLeather® 5033 glove.

The nail ripped the leather shell but did not puncture the protective layer of SuperFabric® brand material, which has some of the highest cut-resistance available in the industry, ANSI/ISEA level A6 and CE level 5.

HexArmor® saved the worker from serious injury and allowed them to continue the workday.
