Stihl picks Dyneema for cut resistant hyflex safety gloves

"This was particularly true for the handling of smaller parts, such as the razor-sharp cutting teeth for the chains of our power saws. Despite their high cut-resistance, these gloves leave our employees with a safe feel for the parts. And when everything is under control at the first grip, work also has a much smoother and more productive flow.” The new HyFlex safety gloves have been successfully in use for 12 months.

The new gloves have met with a high level of acceptance among Stihl’s employees and there have been fewer hand injuries coupled with a positive effect on the costs of occupational safety insurance.

“We see a growing demand for thin yet extremely cut-resistant safety gloves in various markets.” says Werner Schwarzberger, Senior Regional Sales Manager Industrial & Specialty Markets at Ansell. “The Dyneema Diamond Technology used in the HyFlex 11-518 results in a glove that meets cut level 3 while at the same time providing the fingertip sensitivity of bare hands.

DSM’s Dyneema Diamond Technology enables breakthrough achievement, as it allows us to reduce the required yarn diameter for this protection level by up to 50 percent versus conventional HMPE yarns.”
