HexArmor® is the exclusive manufacturer of PPE (personal protective equipment) made with SuperFabric® brand material. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, HexArmor has begun changing the face of the PPE safety industry through the introduction of HexArmor Personal Protective Armor™.
Every HexArmor product is made with SuperFabric brand material by Higher Dimension Medical, Inc. SuperFabric brand material was invented by HDM, Inc. to be highly cut, puncture, and abrasion resistant. The result is a technology so innovative it is being tested for use by the U.S. military and even NASA. The “super” qualities of the fabric include higher cut resistance than most products on the market, significantly more so than KEVLAR®, as well as greater puncture and abrasion resistance than any product on the market. It offers all this and is 100% washable, without compromising product integrity or dexterity.
HexArmor has partnered with HDM and is the exclusive manufacturer of industrial safety products using this technology. Before this breakthrough, providing safety and product enhancements had always been a series of compromises: cut resistance but no puncture resistance, poor comfort, poor dexterity, inadequate grip, or little or no breathability. HexArmor products can be formulated to have all of these unique qualities. As a result, HexArmor can offer performance that no other product can match. We can often dramatically improve the level of safety provided AND reduce the total cost because many of our products outlast the competition in durability by ten times!
Seems hard to believe? We understand. Don’t just take our word for it. Bring us your toughest safety problems and let us engineer a safety solution for you. Then Armor Up™ with HexArmor Personal Protective Armor and see for yourself why HexArmor is becoming the new standard in safety™.
CUT RESISTANCE
HexArmor® products use SuperFabric® brand technology, which provides protection against cuts and slashes like no other material in the world. Cut protection is provided by the tough, hard, guard plates that are adhered to high performance fabrics. It is engineered to provide high levels of protection from very sharp objects such as knives, razor blades and glass. When you need high cut resistance, reach for HexArmor.
PUNCTURE RESISTANCE Due to their inherent construction, conventional materials such as cotton, leather, aramids, and nylons are unable to stop sharp objects from penetrating through the material. HexArmor products, made with SuperFabric brand material, use tiny guard plates that are adhered to high performance fabrics in order to provide superior puncture protection.
NEEDLESTICK RESISTANCE HexArmor provides industry leading needlestick resistance. Because the gap between the SuperFabric guard plates is so small, and because we use multiple layers, HexArmor products deliver the highest levels of protection from sharp objects such as needles. As a sharp hazard enters the fabric, it is arrested by one or more layers of fabric as it strikes the guard plates.
The highest level of protection is provided from the three-layered SuperFabric. While the products with one layer provide some needlestick resistance, they are not recommended for use with needle hazards. However, many of our needlestick products are recommended for use with other sharps hazards such as wire, metal, fine glass and metal shavings.
