Why HexArmor® Products?
Providing safety and product
enhancements has always been a series of compromises: cut
resistance but no puncture resistance, poor comfort, poor
dexterity, inadequate grip, or little or no breathability. Fabrics like Kevlar® and Spectra® have given us great strides in
safety, but they fall short in many of these important
dimensions. In particular, what product can provide cut,
puncture, and abrasion resistance in a single product? Our
product can be formulated to have all of these unique qualities.
As a result, we can offer performance that no other product can
match.
What is the Technology?
Every HexArmor® product is
made with SuperFabric® brand material. SuperFabric® brand
material was invented by HDM, Inc. to be highly cut, puncture,
and abrasion resistant. The result is a technology so innovative
it is being tested for use by the U.S. military and even NASA.
The “super” qualities of the fabric include significantly higher
cut, puncture, and abrasion resistance than most products on the
market, including KEVLAR®. It offers all this and is 100%
washable, without compromising product integrity or dexterity.
How does the Technology Work?
The technology works by
“trapping and blocking” the needle. Most needles strike a guard
plate directly, resulting in an immediate arrest of the needle.
If the needle hits a “gap”, it is “trapped” and then blocked by
the layer below. The gap provides the flexibility required to
allow the material to bend and flex. Most applications can be
handled with at least two layers. For an extra margin of safety
3 layers can be employed.
