Ansell introduces first flame-resistant glove for oil and gas workers
First-in-class glove lasts up more than three times longer than competitive gloves and optimizes safety and comfort for upstream market
Global upstream oil and gas capital and operating spending is expected to reach unprecedented heights from 2012-2016, due in large part to a burgeoning North American industry.1 To help protect upstream oil and gas workers from catastrophic events such as flash fires, as well as daily concerns of impact and abrasion, Ansell, the world leader in hand protection, introduces the first-in-class ActivArmr® Flame Resistant 97-200 gloves. Designed for use from the rig floor to production services, ActivArmr® 97-200 gloves maximize impact protection and flame resistance (NFPA 2112) without compromising comfort and dexterity.
ActivArmr® 97-200 gloves are designed with an exclusive flame-resistant fabric and meet the NFPA 2112 Flame Resistant Work Wear Standard. To protect workers against injuries and impact, the gloves feature a first-to-market, proprietary bumper formulation that covers the knuckles and an easy don/doff safety cuff for quick release in the event of an accident.
