DuPont Protection Technologies, an American chemical company, and MCR Safety, which offers protective apparels for industrial use, have developed a new cut-resistant glove named ‘Memphis Orange with DuPont’ Kevlar brand fibre.

MCR Safety is promoting its products with DuPont technology under the new Dare Bigger brand platform. The glove uses patented DuPont Kevlar engineered yarns allowing glove companies like MCR Safety bring new levels of cut-resistance performance and dexterity, along with features such as high visibility, to the market, DuPont said in a press release.

Mitch Lewellen, CEO of MCR Safety said, “We are proud to collaborate with DuPont in an effort to provide the next generation of cut protection. This ANSI Cut Level 4 product features a high level of cut protection with a thinner and more flexible glove. This high-visibility Memphis Orange with Kevlar provides greater visibility for a higher level of safety awareness.”

The use of Kevlar can be found in different fields ranging from fire fighter and industrial protective clothing to vehicles, fibre optic cables, mining belts, commercial aircraft and city roads, and in many consumer products such as mobile phones, tires, and sporting apparel and equipment.

MCR Safety has over 40 years of experience as a leader in the field of personal protective equipment (PPE). MCR Safety globally manufactures and distributes safety gear marketed as MCR Safety, Memphis Glove, Crews, River City, and US Safety.

DuPont has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. (GK)
