The initial launch of the new line comprises four new glove models made with Dyneema Diamond Technology, which represents an important extension of the OXXA safety products high-end range of cut-resistant protective gloves.

Two of the new models are being launched under the brand name X-Diamond-Pro. Comfortable and thin, these multipurpose gloves boast a polyurethane palm coating and are available with a 13-gauge liner for cut level 3 protection or an 18-gauge liner for level 5 cut resistance. Highly abrasion-resistant for industrial applications, the gloves are designed with an extra long cuff for added forearm protection, according to a press release

The two other new models, available under the name X-Diamond-Flex, offer similar levels of cut resistance, but have foam nitrile-coated palms for a dry grip, even under oily or wet conditions.

In many industries, workers want gloves that provide protection, but don't feel like gloves. Dyneema Diamond Technology solves this problem, setting a new standard for cut resistance and comfort.” (GK)
