Ejendals, a leading Swedish specialist in the development, manufacture and marketing of quality products that protect hands and feet, will be introducing its latest protective knitted glove, model 909, which incorporates Dyneema Diamond Technology, at SAWO 2014 that is taking place from 9-15 April in Poznań, Poland.

The new fine gauge glove was developed specifically for applications requiring very good dexterity with cool feel and is ideal for high precision handling of small components, the company reports.

909 glove

The 909 glove is made with DSM’s innovation platform Dyneema Diamond Technology. The key feature of this technology is that it is said to be twice as thin as the regular yarn normally used in cut Level 3 gloves.

According to the company, this enables the finest knitting structure possible for seamless knitted cut resistant gloves with a level 3, resulting in exceptional dexterity and tactility combined with light weight, making the glove easy to wear with less fatigue.

The glove combines Dyneema Diamond Technology yarn with nylon and spandex and is coated in the palm with polyurethane.

Maximum strength

With the new glove, Ejendals sets out to meet the need for a high level of cut resistance, combined with maximum wearer comfort. Niclas Wiklund, Product Manager of Ejendals, explained: “We previously produced three Ejendals Tegera gloves using Dyneema Diamond Technology.

After the success of these gloves, we are proud to introduce a glove that is cut resistant and offers dexterity as a second skin. This is made possible with the newly introduced super fine grade of Dyneema Diamond Technology that became available in August 2013.”

“The basic idea for these new gloves came from our close cooperation with many end-users. We started the process several years ago with one clear objective: to make best cut-resistant level 3 glove on the market. Not an easy task, as we needed to deliver maximum strength with the best tactile performance. Because we were not prepared to jeopardize the protection level, we chose to work only with the best materials. For cut-resistance, there is only one option: Dyneema Diamond Technology.”
