The uvex safety group will now stock, sell and market HexArmor hand protection products which are renowned for their exceptionally elevated levels of protection against ultra-high cut, impact, puncture, abrasion, tear and needlestick injuries in a wide variety of industries and applications.

The HexArmor Pirtek 4048 features innovative SuperFabric hydraulic fluid resistant technology and is said to be the only glove of its kind to offer protection against hydraulic injection injuries. During rigorous laboratory testing at the Health and Safety Executive facilities (HSL) in Buxton,  the HexArmor Pirtek 4048 glove demonstrated injection resistance of pressures up to 700 Bar (10,150 PSI) from apertures ranging in size from 0,05 to 0.3mm using standard hydraulic oil.  

The comfortable, close fitting design ensures hands move freely, making it the ideal choice for working on hydraulic systems in a number of roles.
