The Ansell ActivArmr HVAC work glove is made with woven stainless steel and Kevlar synthetic fiber to protect the hand against cuts when working with sheet metal and other sharp-edged materials during HVAC maintenance and repairs. The palm is coated with foam nitrile for improved grip in both wet and dry environments compared to uncoated palms. The glove is form-fitted, allowing flexibility and finger dexterity when working with hand tools, and has an adjustable wrist closer to keep debris out of the glove. This glove is rated with ANSI Level 3 cut protection. Work gloves help protect the hands, can cover the wrists, and sometimes extend to cover part, or all, of the arm. Work gloves are typically constructed from leather or heavy cotton and are suitable for use in construction, mechanical, landscaping, and do-it-yourself applications to help protect against minor cuts and abrasions. Work gloves for use in manufacturing and construction industries can be made of woven, high-strength synthetic fiber, to resist cuts from heavy machinery and withstand high levels of heat without melting. Work gloves may also be made of, or include, flame retardant material, for use in welding and other heavy-duty applications. Ansell manufactures surgical, examination, industrial, and household gloves, as well as protective clothing. The company, founded in 1905, is headquartered in Red Bank, NJ.
