G. Fox, South Africa’s premier supplier of personal protective equipment (PPE) is driven by their purpose – “To keep people safe and areas clean.” Through key partnerships, a focus on technological innovation and continuous improvement, G. Fox aims to provide the world’s safest glove range. To that end, they have developed two new hand protection product lines and are distributors of a third.
Evolution™
The Evolution range comes about as a result of the G. Fox ethos of always breaking new ground and offering “fit for purpose” products to its customers. “The EVOLUTION™ and CUTGUARD™ gloves and embody this ethos and are a result of five years of dedication, passion and research which has yielded the next level in safety gloves” says Mark Schewitz – Glove division manager. “Designed and tested for safety, comfort and endurance, these gloves provide maximum hand protection and durability in the most rugged and physically challenging work conditions such as automotive, mining, rigging, construction and machine assembly amongst other tough industries” he continues.
“The proprietary Evolution™ Ripple Technology palm coating offers superior grip in dry, wet and oily conditions as well as best-in-class abrasion resistance, while the Evolution™ Impacto Technology offers back-of-hand protection for knuckles and finger joints, safeguarding them from shocks, crushes and impacts” he adds. Added to the above, the grip, durability and cut resistance in the CUTGUARD™ range have been enhanced while the glove’s impact on hand health has been reduced. The design and material used allow for maximum freedom of movement and dexterity.
The range is independently tested by accredited laboratories that carry the Conformitë Europëene (CE) mark, all components and materials used in the manufacture and construction have been assessed and comply with the REACH European Legislation including the Sanitized® (triclosan free) hygiene function that is integrated into the gloves ensuring that the product is skin friendly.
Cutguard™
Building on the technology contained in the EVOLUTION™ range, the grip, durability and cut resistance in the CUTGUARD™ range has been enhanced while the glove’s impact on hand health has been reduced. The design and materials used allow for maximum freedom of movement and dexterity.
Grippaz™
The latest innovative product to be added to the G. Fox offering is GRIPPAZ™, a range of semi-disposable gloves which have revolutionised both medical and work gloves around the world. In most applications, GRIPPAZ™ gloves are durable and comfortable enough to wear for the entire day.
GRIPPAZ™ gloves are made with specialized formulations of tough and durable NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). What separates this product from its competitors, is its patented fish scale grip pattern, embossed onto the back, front external and internal surfaces of the gloves – making each GRIPPAZ™ glove ambidextrous. The exterior grip pattern provides excellent grip of the object being held, while the pattern on the inside of the gloves, provides traction, helping to prevent slippage against the skin and reducing sweating.
GRIPPAZ™ gloves are designed to fit snugly for maximum dexterity and comfort, with less hand fatigue. The gloves are both silicone and latex free, providing an excellent barrier against many chemicals, blood borne pathogens and viruses. No detail has been overlooked in the design of these gloves as they have also been designed to be fully touchscreen friendly.
These gloves are the perfect fit in industries involving paint, crafts, DIY projects, gardening, plumbing, building, cleaning, food preparation, manufacturing, and industrial use. The GRIPPAZ range is divided into colours to easily match the appropriate glove to an application. The blue range has been designed for the food and janitorial industry, while black and orange has been developed for industries dealing with dry, wet, or greasy conditions.
The GRIPPAZ™ gloves are available in a range of sizes from medium to XXL as well as in single pairs or boxes of twenty-five pairs.
