Five Factors to Check to Decide if Diamond Tech Gloves Are Necessary

Diamond Technology

As just one perfect example, let’s look closely at MCR's Diamond Technology gloves. At the heart of these gloves is Dyneema®, the highest performance fiber solution for cut protection. Here are the 5 relevant factors when comparing gloves to discover if Diamond Tech gloves are what you need:

1. Strength. Dyneema® Diamond Technology is up to 15 times stronger than steel and up to 40% stronger than aramids, based on a weight for weight basis. Given this level of strength, it requires less material to reach the same level of cut protection and does this with double the useful service life. 

2. Cut and Abrasion Resistance. Dyneema® is the world’s strongest fiber. It’s made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The gel spinning manufacturing process draws, heats, elongates and cools the fibers. It’s not called the greatest evolution in cut protection in a generation for nothing. 

3. Durable. Gloves made from Dyneema® Diamond Tech hold up day after day and also provide dirt masking properties. Not only that, but the color is embedded into the fibers. So they continue to look good. They are also washable. As a result, they last longer and maximize cost efficiency. 

4. Comfortable. These gloves allow all-day use by radiating the heat away from your hands. They are steel and glass fiber free which removes sources of irritation. They are also thinner and lightweight, adding yet more comfort while in use.

5. Confidence. They’re strong, cut and abrasion resistant, durable and comfortable. All that adds up to confidence that they’ll protect your hands in every situation. And, that level of confidence means they’ll actually be used. 

In addition to these five factors, when considering total cost it’s estimated that you can expect to purchase just nine pairs of gloves per employee per year versus 26 pairs of aramid gloves. That adds up to a 55% savings.
