Safe, secure handling
27 February 2015
The new Showa S-TEX 376 protective glove has been added to Globus’ portfolio for the secure handling of oily components and materials that present a high degree of mechanical risk.

In addition to cut protection, the glove is comfortable to wear and allows hand dexterity so that performance is not compromised. It is made using Showa’s Hagane Coil technology and offers Level 4 (EN388) and 2280g (ISO 13997) blade cut resistance to help users to work safely and comfortably when handling objects with sharp edges and slippery surfaces.
The three-quarter nitrile coated base protects from oils, grease and abrasion whilst an additional coating of nitrile foam covers the palm and fingertips to provide long lasting grip in wet and oily conditions.
Showa’s patented Hagane Coil constituent within the lightweight 13 gauge liner combines Hagane stainless steel with polyester to provide extremely high levels of cut resistance. It uses a special coiling technique that twists the polyester yarn loosely around the stainless steel core. This allows the steel core to be protected when the hand bends and flexes for maximum protection, comfort and performance. Hagane steel is the high carbon steel used in forging Japanese Samurai swords.
Steve Shale, marketing manager of Globus said, "It’s always good to enhance our range with gloves that will have a significant positive effect on wearers’ safety – this glove offers protection against cuts and lacerations, which are all too common in industry. Workers shouldn’t be at risk of getting cuts to hands caused by ineffective hand protection. When hand safety challenges are analysed, specific task-related gloves can be specified that not only protect the workforce, but encourage productivity too.”
