Innovative Technologies
Liner Technologies
The liner defines the glove’s textile construction. It can be made of various types of fibers depending on the level of protection required. At Armor Guys, we have developed our own patented liner technologies. Learn more below!
Kyorene®: Graphene-Based Protection
After nearly a decade of research & development into graphene, Armor Guys’ parent company, QS Safety, launched the world’s first graphene-based gloves under the name Kyorene®, which Armor Guys then brought to market in the U.S. Graphene is inherently bacteriostatic, thermal regulating, odor neutralizing and UV resistant, thus giving our Kyorene® gloves the same properties.
Taeki5®: Mechanical & Thermal Protection
The Taeki5® series of high performance hand and arm protection products is made from 100% Taeki5® fiber. The unique composite construction of Taeki5® was developed to protect hands and arms against mechanical and thermal risks, while simultaneously offering excellent fit, form and function to the user. The products offered in our Taeki5® range come in a variety of gauges and coatings, thus allowing for the products to be used in multiple applications across a variety of industries.
Basetek®: High-Quality, Daily Protection
The Basetek® range of products was developed to address the needs of the market by utilizing high-quality yarns that users could depend on to provide the trusted protection they need while doing daily tasks. With a range of cut-resistant styles from ANSI A2 to A6 and a variety of coatings, Basetek® offers a wide assortment of styles that can meet the majority of users’ needs in today’s market.
Perfotek®: Puncture Protection
With ever increasing needs for workers requiring puncture-resistant gloves, Armor Guys set out to provide a better solution. It wasn’t all that long ago that puncture resistant gloves came into the market in an effort to meet the growing needs workers faced in a variety of industries that have puncture hazards. Most of the products then, and most now, have failed to provide a highly functional and highly protective glove in one.
Coating Technologies
An extra layer of protection, known as the coating, is added to the palm-side of the glove, or to the entire glove, to create an extra layer of protection. Depending on the task and level of protection required, there are various types of coatings that will best benefit the user depending on the job at hand. Armor Guys has several coating technologies that are explained below.
Hybrid Coating Technology (HCT®) Microfoam Nitrile
Hybrid Coating Technology, also known as HCT®, is a revolutionary compounding process that creates deep pockets within a durable coating. Each of these pockets is then injected with a very soft compound. This remarkable combination gives our HCT® microfoam nitrile coating incredible grip, softness, flexibility and breathability, while remaining thin, durable and resistant to oils.
HCT® Nano-Foam Nitrile
HCT® nano-foam nitrile draws on the positive attributes of our original HCT® microfoam nitrile coating; soft, flexible, breathable and exceptional grip in wet, dry and oily conditions. The two differentiating features of our HCT® Nano is that it offers a thinner and smoother coating than our standard HCT®. These two features mimic what a traditional polyurethane coated glove offers users; greater dexterity and improved sense of touch, but does so in a product that is safer for both the user and the environment.
HCT® Microfoam Latex
Thin, flexible coating good for use in a variety of applications. The HCT® microfoam latex coating provides exceptional grip, particularly in wet applications, as the coating channels liquids from the surface ensuring a positive grip.
Polyurethane
Smooth Nitrile
Thick coating, excellent for dry grip applications. Offers superior protection against cuts, snags, abrasions, and punctures.
Crinkle Latex
Offers good dry and wet grip in a variety of applications. Is highly resistant to cuts, punctures and abrasions.
Foam Nitrile
Thin, breathable coating which works well in light oil and greasy environments. Foam coating provides excellent grip in both wet and dry applications.

" Well, I can assure you, if your product is even close to the service you guys provide, you’re going to be sold out of everything, my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed you guys; you made me feel like you were there for only me, other vendors need to be taking notes from you all, especially notes on how you treated everyone.
Thank you! "

" I haven’t had any complaints, only praise, for the Armor Guys 00-840 gloves. We have literally tried everything to destroy them. They will not cut with a razor without extreme effort; they will not degrade from metal filings and chips without extreme usage; they will not wear down chopping, splitting or stacking lumber; they do not smell after being fully submerged on a daily basis in coolants for 3 weeks. If you have anyone who questions these, please share my testimonial. "

“Thank you for this. I am very impressed so far with the response and the service.”

“ The fully covered nitrile gloves (00-845) will not leak being after being fully submerged for 15 minutes, nor after 2 weeks of repeated usage on our saws, in direct contact with coolants, lubricants or the stopped blades themselves. Metal stampers are able to get 2 full weeks of usage and only requested a new pair due to the dirty nature of his gloves; otherwise, they were still 100% functional after the 2 weeks. ”
