Wells Lamont Industrial, a worldwide leader and US manufacturer of hand and arm protection, introduces its first-ever ANSI cut level 5 palm dip glove with the FlexTech™ Y9216. With nearly 38% of time-off injuries coming from cut and lacerations, the Y9216 offers superior protection in industries such as metal fabrication, metal handling, metal stamping, automotive manufacturing, recycling & salvage and HVAC, where cuts are common. In addition, to its high cut resistance, the Y9216 maintains a high level of dexterity and comfort. The palm is dipped in a sandy nitrile coating for improved grip in oily applications. The shell is made from a unique blend of high performance fibers and stainless steel to further ensure a cooler, safer and more comfortable glove compared to competitive solutions.

“With hand injuries, especially cuts, being the #1 safety problem in many manufacturing environments, we knew we needed to make a glove that solved that challenge but maintained our standards for quality,” says Kim O'Leary, Director of Marketing, Wells Lamont Industrial. “The Y9216 provided just that- high cut resistance with the added benefit of being a very flexible glove. Users can go from dry, wet or oily conditions to working on small parts without concern.”
