DSM Dyneema congratulates Banom on winning Frost & Sullivan award
Banom’s cut-resistant gloves feature Dyneema® Fiber for superior safety and comfort
DSM Dyneema LLC (DSM Dyneema), the manufacturer of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber, branded as Dyneema®, and world leader in life protection materials and high performance fibers, commends their partner Banom for winning the prestigious Frost & Sullivan 2013 North American Product Leadership Award in Cut Resistant Gloves. Banom’s gloves for workers in the sheet metal and glass industries surpass the competition through the use of proprietary high tenacity filament (HTF) yarns incorporating high-performance materials such as MaxPly® with Dyneema® and TriMax® with Dyneema®.
According to the Frost & Sullivan report, Banom not only uses innovative yarns that protect against cutting hazards from knives, razor blades, sheet metal and glass, they also demonstrate superiority over competing products in the market in terms of dexterity, comfort, and tactility. Special coatings provide enhanced grip and reduce hand fatigue. Banom also received praise for designing gloves for specific end uses and for employing application testing for its gloves rather than a simple standard cut test.
