What makes a good
safety glove?
The consistent high-quality of our safety
gloves is guaranteed by carefully selected
raw ­materials, solid processing methods
and stringent production controls based
on the ­guidelines of European norms. Equally integral to the uvex approach is our
commitment to conti­nuous product
development and conformity with new
safety ­requirements. The use of high
quality natural fibres that are well tolerated
by the skin is the precondition for feeling
comfortable. This is critical as only a glove
that is worn can provide protection.
Copying nature: a completely new ergonomic fit. The PROFAS ­Flat-Ergo Technology with
anatomically shaped phalanges.
Oeko-Tex-certified natural materials such as
jersey cotton liners or knitted liners with
bamboo thread provide for a pleasant wearing
feeling and optimal comfort.
Certified according
to Oeko Tex
Standard 100
Proven levels of safety for you and your
employees. Everything that comes into
contact with skin has to satisfy the most
exacting requirements and this is why we
decided to have all knitted gloves in our
PROFI, CONTACT, HELIX, NK, RUBIFLEX, and RUBIFLEX S ranges, certified according
to the stringent testing criteria of Product
Class II.
PROFAS safety gloves always come with a flexible, optimally ­cross-linked coating that provides excellent abrasion resistance in practice.
The result: safety gloves with unsurpassed
wearing comfort and the best tactile feel.
Because only the combination of optimal
­design, skin-friendly comfortable materials and
effective coating technology makes a safety
glove for daily work really perfect.

u-fit nitrile
The human hand is a marvel of nature which is just as well because it is
often exposed to demanding ­external influences and dangers. With the
u-fit nitrile, uvex PROFAS offers a quality disposable safety glove which
guarantees a high degree of protection and functionality. u-fit nitrile
gloves fit snugly and are the perfect choice for precision work which also
requires mechanical strength. Properties of/areas of application for u-fit nitrile:
• reliable protection from splashes when working with chemicals in the
form of acids, alkalis, solids and aqueous saline solutions
• highly resistant to grease and oil, therefore highly suited for use in production

MATERIAL
EN 374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms:
EN 374-2: Determination of resistance to penetration
Testing in accordance with EN 374-2 confirms whether a glove is free of imperfections
and by definition resistant to liquids and micro-organisms. The u-fit gloves are tested
to an AQL of 1.5 during production. Pictogram for waterproof safety gloves

Sizing, norms and markings
Glove sizes in accordance with EN 420:2003 Protective gloves, general requirements and test methods
It is very important that the correct glove size is provided and worn and clear guidance is provided to ensure that sizing is right first time. Two measurements are required to establish the correct size – the hand
circumference (A = right hand palm down, fingers together, across
knuckles) and length (B = distance between wrist and tip of middle finger).
Measurements are given in mm.

Safety gloves can be divided into three
different categories:
1. Minimal risks
Personal protective equipment (PPE) for minor safety requirements where the user is assumed to be capable of evaluating the impact of the risks, e.g. temperatures up to 50 °C or
gardening work.
2. Medium risks
PPE that does not fall into categories 1 or 3, e.g. mechanical risks.
3. Complex protection
PPE for protection against lethal dangers or serious and irreversible
injury, e.g. protection against
chemicals. The European Directive
89/686/EEC specifies the fundamental
requirements for PPE.
Norms for safety gloves were devised for
these different requirements.
Performance levels given in numbers: the higher the number, the better the test results
