2 competence Manufacturing and technologi Innovative hand protection solutions German quality Injuries to the hand are one of the most frequently reported of all industrial accidents and are associated with high consequential costs for businesses. uvex s inno vative glove solutions provide you with exceptional safety and cost-efficiency for all industrial applications. Design principles which provide maximum protection and outstanding wearer comfort, ensure a high level of compliance with safety policies and a major contribution to risk management. 108 Based in Lüneburg, PROFAS GmbH & Co. KG is the uvex safety group s centre of expertise for safety gloves. Production at our Lüneburg facility ensures that the highest levels of quality control are maintained, yielding positive cost and environmental outcomes. Leading-edge manufacturing processes, design and development, in-house sewing together with a laboratory with extensive testing and application technology, work synergistically to form a tight-knit internal network. After all, quality means more to us than just a perfect product. Talk to us when it comes to hand protection and tell us your individual requirements. We ll provide the right solution oriented to your specific activities.

3 technology cal expertise 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 conti nuous 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. 109

6 Xtra Grip Technology Secure grip. Excellent flexibility. Whether it s in sports, in technical environments or behind the wheel, a powerful grip is essential in many applications. Without it the risk of an accident increases and energy is lost, particularly in wet or oily environments. This applies especially to safety gloves, as a weak grip leads to hand fatigue, increasing the potential risk of injury. With the innovative uvex Profas Xtra grip technology, these problems are a thing of the past. Multilayer design for greater safety Special coating for a more secure grip Durable nitrile coating Cotton stockinet for real comfort Surface of skin The highly absorbent cotton lining of the Xtra grip technology gloves ensures exceptional comfort, whilst the addition of a nitrile coating provides absolute impermeability. uvex Profas RUBIFLEX XG 35B uvex provides maximum chemical protection with the supported RUBIFLEX XG 35B. Greater resistance time Together with the multilayer design, the advanced surface structure ensures a greater resistance time. Use in oily and wet environments The canal structure of the Xtra grip technology gloves absorbs liquids, helping maintain a secure grip on tools and components. 112
