Ansell HyFlex® 11-840 Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves — High-Dexterity Industrial Gloves with FORTIX™ Abrasion Resistance and Reliable Foam Nitrile Grip

Abrasion Resistant FORTIX™ Technology Foam Nitrile Palm High Dexterity Touchscreen Compatible OEKO-TEX® / Dermatest®

Ansell is the world’s leading manufacturer of industrial hand protection. The HyFlex® platform represents Ansell’s premier glove family for precision handling—engineered to balance dexterity, durability, grip, and long-shift comfort in demanding industrial environments.

Product overview

HyFlex® 11-840 is a versatile, high-dexterity industrial glove designed for operations where abrasion resistance, grip reliability, and comfort are daily requirements. It features a lightweight knit liner paired with a foam nitrile palm coating engineered to deliver stable grip in dry, lightly oily, and mixed handling conditions.

Why customers choose 11-840: Ansell’s FORTIX™ Abrasion Resistance Technology is engineered to deliver up to 20% longer wear life compared to standard foam nitrile gloves, depending on application. This helps reduce glove change-outs, workflow interruptions, and overall cost of use.

Within the HyFlex® family, 11-840 is optimized for abrasion-driven tasks. Applications requiring cut protection should consider HyFlex cut-resistant models such as 11-735 or 11-561.

Foam Nitrile Grip Extended Durability All-Day Comfort HyFlex® Platform

Built for consistent grip and comfort in demanding daily work

The Ansell HyFlex® 11-840 is designed for industrial environments where gloves are worn continuously and expected to perform across thousands of handling cycles. These are not single-task applications; they are production floors, logistics operations, and assembly lines where grip reliability, durability, and hand comfort directly affect productivity and fatigue.

Liner construction: flexibility as a performance feature

The liner of the 11-840 is engineered to provide structural support without stiffness. Rather than focusing on high cut resistance, the liner prioritizes flexibility and fit, allowing the glove to move naturally with the hand during repetitive tasks.

This close-fitting profile reduces internal friction and pressure points, which helps minimize hand fatigue over long shifts. For workers who keep gloves on for hours at a time, liner comfort becomes a core safety and productivity factor.

Foam nitrile coating: grip that adapts to real conditions

The palm and fingers are coated with foam nitrile, a material selected for its ability to maintain grip across dry, lightly oily, and variable surface conditions. Unlike smooth coatings, foam nitrile incorporates micro-pores that increase surface contact and allow oils to be displaced rather than trapped at the glove-to-part interface.

From a durability perspective, nitrile resists abrasion and tearing far better than many soft elastomers. This makes the 11-840 well suited for environments where gloves are expected to last through extended use rather than frequent change-outs.

How performance is delivered at the hand

Grip consistency: foam nitrile maintains friction even as surfaces become contaminated.
Abrasion resistance: coating protects high-wear zones such as fingertips and palm.
Dexterity: balanced coating thickness preserves finger mobility and control.
Breathability: uncoated back of hand allows heat and moisture to escape during long wear periods.

Typical industrial applications

The HyFlex® 11-840 is commonly used in general assembly, packaging, logistics, warehousing, materials handling, and equipment support tasks. It is particularly effective where workers transition between different surfaces and need a glove that adapts without constant adjustment or replacement.

Wear indicators and replacement timing

Over time, foam nitrile coatings may show smoothing, thinning, or reduced grip in high-contact areas. These changes occur gradually and serve as visible indicators that gloves are approaching the end of their useful life. Routine inspection supports consistent hand protection while controlling glove consumption.
