The name of our new technical innovation used in the liners of our DURACoil products comprises of 2 words: DURABLE = the gloves are designed for maximum comfort, to be worn for extended periods of time for a wide range of medium-low risk applications COIL = the wrapping technique where fibers are coiled around the other in layers, thereby increasing the level of resistance. Benefits: Imagine all you can do with a consolidated cut series! Good resistance against cuts, snags and tears; Upgraded mechanical risk protection for general purpose activities; Soft, lightweight and ultra-comfortable with no skin irritation; Excellent fit and dexterity; Increased productivity with durable protection for multipurpose & cut risks; Consistent high quality & unmatched level of service.
Risk of Injuries: Handling food processing tools and machines could put workers at risk if without proper protective wear. Our Solutions: Accelerate Work Efficiency: Our protective wear with superior grip and unmatched comfort reduces mistakes and shortens the time consumed when handling food products and processing machines. Safeguard against Biohazards: Our protective wears are made of professionally selected quality materials that help protect food and workers against contamination and injury during handling.
The EN 388 standard underwent revision in 2016. SHOWA gloves are in the process of being recertified by the notified bodies to conform to the revised standard. Currently reported ISO 13997 cut resistance values are indications until officially certified. In the meantime the existing certificates according to EN 388: 2003 remain valid. ABRASION RESISTANCE (0-4) : Number of cycles required to abrade a hole using abrasive paper in a circular sample of glove material under constant pressure and motion. Number of cycles required to cut a sample using a stainless steel circular blade under constant speed and low force of 5 newtons (approx. 510g). For materials that dull the blade, after a certain number of cycles without cut through, the ISO 13997 test is performed and becomes the reference cut resistance value.
How It Works: EBT materials added to nitrile during production. Gloves are disposed of by consumers. Gloves are transferred into biologically active landfills. Microorganisms break down the EBT materials, to decompose within 1–5 years. Organic soil and biogas is left in its place. Join SHOWA and find your EBT glove below. Make the difference today. DURACoil: Since the revision of the PPE regulations in 2016, a market-wide downgrade in EN 388 and ANSI 105 cut level scores for re-certified products led to general purpose gloves for medium-low risks decreased from cut level 5-C/A3 to 5-B/A2 and under. At SHOWA, we believe in value for money, safety and comfort. Research shows that many workers use general purpose gloves with low cut resistance levels – the former EN 388 and ANSI cut 5 being B/ A2. Risks of injuries increase and worker’s safety is jeopardised.
Degradation is the deleterious change in one or more properties of a protective glove material due to contact with a chemical. Indications of degradation can be delaminating, discoloration, hardening, softening, dimensional change, loss of tensile strength, etc. It is determined by measuring the percentage change in puncture resistance of the glove material after a continuous contact for 1 hour of the external surface with the challenge test chemical. The results of the degradation test must appear in the information leafet for all three glove types. See even more info at https://excia.asia/.
