Technology
Liner
The liner defines the glove’s textile construction. It can be made of various types of fiber depending on the level of protection required. At Armor Guys we have developed over time our own patented liner technologies that are explained below.
After years of intense research on GRAPHENE, a major breakthrough has been made with the development of graphene based special textile fibers, KYORENE®. The advent of Armor Guys Inc. graphene based range of protective gloves, a dramatic change in hand and arm protection for generations to come is on the horizon.
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 doing so with products that offer excellent fit, form and function to the user. The range of products offered in Taeki5® come in a variety of weights and coatings, thus allowing for the product to be used in multiple applications across a variety of industries.
Yarn configurations in the make-up of today’s hand protection products varies dramatically in terms of the content and quality.

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
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 tasks and level of protection required, there are various types of coatings that will bring extra grip and dexterity. Armor Guys has created several coating technologies that are also explained below.
HCT®’s special compounding process creates deep pockets within a durable coating. Each of these pockets are then injected with a very soft compound. This combination gives HCT® remarkable softness and exibility while remaining durable, abrasion resistance and impermeable by oils.
HCT® Nano is the 3rd generation in the HCT® family of coatings. Like its predecessors, HCT® Nano draws on the positive attributes of our revolutionary Hybrid Coating Technology (HCT®) – soft, flexible, breathable and exceptional grip in wet, dry and oily conditions. HCT® Nano though offers a much thinner and tackier coating than our standard HCT®. These two features make for a glove that offers great dexterity, tactile sensitivity and a positive grip in the toughest working conditions.
