The development of plastics has completely changed people’s everyday lives. From plastic bottles, to grocery bags, to children’s toys and yes, even work gloves, plastic products are everywhere. Polyethylene, one type of plastic, is arguably a polymer you encounter virtually every day. If you’re wearing gloves at work, you are most likely encountering polyethylene.

Before we get into talking about high-performance polyethylene (Hnewbb电子) and ultra-high—molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which are two of the most advanced fibers used in newbb电子平台 Safety’s cut-resistant gloves, we’ve got to talk science in the next couple of sections. We are going to take a closer look at what exactly polyethylene is and how it can be used in everyday applications. If you think you know everything you’ve ever wanted to know about polyethylene, we do give you the chance to bypass the education section and go directly to our Hnewbb电子 gloves page. Just click on the below Hypermax® and DSM Dyneema® images.

Plastics make up many 21st century products, including newbb电子

Some of you may already know this information, or you simply want to purchase a pair of highly cut-resistant gloves to face extreme cut hazards. Either way, we want to give you the option of learning more about plastics, specifically polyethylene, or heading directly to newbb电子平台 Safety’s extensive line of cut-resistant gloves. Whichever option you choose, first check out some of the variations of polyethylene that are used in newbb电子.

5040 disposable glove uses HDPE polyethylene

181640 is one of newbb电子平台 Safety’s top-selling face shields, and it is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-Modified (PETG).

newbb电子平台 Safety’s Cut Pro Gloves use Hypermax® 1.0 technology, a high-performance polyethylene (Hnewbb电子).

newbb电子平台 Safety’s Cut Pro Gloves are also available with Hypermax® 2.0 technology, an even higher performing UHMWPE polyethylene that Hnewbb电子.

As you can see from this partial list of polyethylene products, newbb电子平台 Safety uses a host of different types of polyethylene to produce our gloves and newbb电子. Before you head off into one of the individual Hnewbb电子 technology pages, here’s a quick run-down of the difference between the industry leading brands we utilize:

Either technology provides users with excellent gloves for protection against cut hazards. We offer comparison data from our very own ITC lab below. We encourage users to try both versions before making a long-term decision.

Before you leave this page for either Hnewbb电子 brand, make sure you’re aware of the other factors that affect a glove’s cost: feel and performance. Guage is a factor that affects both the feel and the performance, and therefore the price. If you’re interested in learning more about this glove attribute and polyethylene, keep reading.

What is Polyethylene?

It’s time for the science lesson! We said we were going to bring science into the discussion here, and we don’t disappoint. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer, polyolefin to be exact, that consists of many ethylene monomers bonded together. Its molecules are a long chain of carbon atoms, with two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. When you look at the image above, its structure is simple by nature. In fact, it is one of the simplest commercial polymers.

For those who are still tormented by memories of high school chemistry class, we’re stopping here. We know most of you who are reading are just trying to figure out which high-performing cut-resistant gloves are best for you, not looking for a recap on high school chemistry. Just remember, as we mentioned above, polyethene is merely a plastic. It’s a polymer known for versatility and recyclability and although it comes offered under different names and touts different advantages depending on the marketing, it’s simply plastic derived from materials found in nature.

Polyethylene General Purpose Gloves

HDPE

When there is no additional branching after the initial molecular bond, the polyethylene is called high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This type of plastic is used in milk jugs and in newbb电子平台 Safety’s disposable polyethylene gloves, shown above. Our 5040 disposable gloves use HDPE because it is a versatile material with excellent tensile strength, and it is food-friendly. Next time you’re in line at Subway, look at the gloves the worker preparing your sandwich is wearing; they will most likely be HDPE disposable gloves.

LDPE and LLDPE

When longer branches of polyethene come together, they form a softer low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). This plastic is very flexible and provides a good water barrier. You will find variations for one-time use disposable gloves that use both LDPE and HDPE. One non-glove example of LDPE in the market is squeeze bottles.

The Manufacturing Process - Polymers into Fibers

Synthetic fibers are typically polymers that are spun into filaments by a production method referred to as melt, dry, gel, or wet spinning processes. Each process is a little different, so we’ll explain them below.

To ultimately emerge as workable yarn that can be used in gloves, polymers must first be converted into a fluid state, giving them additional fiber strength and high tenacity, and then transformed into a fiber. This occurs by either melting the polymer, dissolving the solvent, or chemically treating it.

Polyethylene filament production shown in image. We touch on the different processes below. Hnewbb电子 ultimately becomes a filament yarn via the gel spinning process.

In addition, many of the materials that make up newbb电子平台 Safety’s product line are formed via one of the spinning processes, so we’ll highlight each of them next.

Hnewbb电子 Products - Cut-resistant Gloves

We know we’ve hit you with a lot of information. Our goal is simply to help inform you of these elements regarding polyethylene and manufacturing, so that when you hear companies use industry terms like “gel spun,” “Hnewbb电子,” or “UHWMPE,” you know what they’re talking about. We do want to mention here that Hnewbb电子 based products have a low-melting point and offer limited contact heat protection. So, we do encourage you to visiting some of our technologies that offer heat and cut protection.

For anyone interested in simply cut-resistant products, we stress that you should focus on the performance of the product first and foremost. One way to do this is to determine the ANSI Cut Score level a glove achieves.

From there, decide on the next layer of attributes that may be important to you or critical to your work environment: thinner gauge for comfort, coatings, fiber options, features like reinforced thumb crotch, etc. Regardless of those extra features, it all comes down to this: if you are wearing a higher ANSI-rated cut glove, you’re protected in better newbb电子, case closed.

With that said, we’ve got a tool to help you quickly find the performance you require in your gloves. Then, our powerful catalog filtering system can help you find those extra features you might be seeking.
