Technical Vault: Ansell HyFlex® 11-925 Cut Resistant and Oil Repellent Industrial Gloves

The Ansell HyFlex® 11-925 is an ultralight, 3/4-coated industrial glove engineered for workers who need oil repellence, wet/oily grip, abrasion resistance, limited contact heat protection, light cut resistance, and high dexterity. It combines Improved ANSELL GRIP™ Technology, RIPEL™ Liquid Repellence Technology, a nitrile coating, and an 18-gauge nylon/spandex liner to support controlled handling in oily or wet work environments.

This Technical Vault summarizes the verified construction, performance standards, liquid-repellence profile, contact heat rating, grip technology, application guidance, inspection points, and use limitations for the HyFlex® 11-925.

Vault summary: Ultralight 3/4 nitrile-coated oil-repellent glove with Improved ANSELL GRIP™ Technology, RIPEL™ Liquid Repellence, touchscreen compatibility, ANSI A1 cut resistance, ANSI level 4 abrasion resistance, ANSI level 2 puncture resistance, EN 388 rating 4111A, and EN 407 contact heat level 1 protection.

EN 388 rating note: The EN 388 code 4111A indicates tested mechanical performance across abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture, and ISO cut resistance categories. This rating should be evaluated together with liquid exposure, grip requirements, and actual task hazards.

The HyFlex 11-925 carries an EN 407:2020 X1XXXX rating. Ansell identifies this as contact heat level 1 performance, allowing occasional handling of hot objects up to 100°C / 212°F for 15 seconds. This is limited contact heat protection and should not be treated as heavy thermal protection.

The HyFlex 11-925 is designed to help repel oils and liquids during industrial handling, but oil repellence should not be confused with full chemical immersion protection. Use this glove where the task requires oily grip control and reduced liquid contact, not where the hazard requires a chemical-resistant immersion glove.

• Oily and wet parts handling
• Assembly and inspection of components
• Assembly and disassembly of equipment
• Assembling and mounting components
• Inspection, picking, checking, and marking
• Mounting and dismantling
• Handling outgoing goods including cans, vessels, bulk packs, and cartons
• Loading trucks and vehicles
• Product shipping, transport, and delivery
• Light contact heat exposure within the EN 407 level 1 limit
• Touchscreen-enabled industrial workflows

• Chemical immersion or validated chemical breakthrough protection
• High cut-force applications requiring higher ANSI cut levels
• Moving blade hazards or powered cutting tools
• Needle, hypodermic, or high-puncture hazards
• Open flame, molten metal splash, steam, or extended hot-object handling
• Electrical protection
• Heavy impact protection
• Sterile cleanroom processing unless separately validated for the controlled environment

Select the HyFlex 11-925 when the job requires a glove that prioritizes oil repellence, wet/oily grip, abrasion resistance, ultralight dexterity, touchscreen compatibility, limited contact heat protection, and light cut resistance. It is best matched to oily handling tasks where workers need more liquid coverage than a palm-coated glove but still need a flexible, close-fitting glove.

• Inspect the nitrile coating for cracks, peeling, worn-through areas, cuts, or punctures.
• Check fingertips, thumb crotch, and high-contact zones for abrasion damage.
• Confirm the glove has not become saturated with unknown chemicals, oils, or incompatible liquids.
• Check that the knitwrist cuff still fits securely and is not stretched out or torn.
• Do not use for hot objects beyond the glove’s EN 407 contact heat level 1 rating.
• Replace gloves when oil repellence, grip, coating integrity, touchscreen function, or protective performance is visibly compromised.

• Store gloves in a clean, dry location away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, ozone, and sharp objects.
• Keep gloves away from incompatible chemicals unless the glove has been evaluated for that specific exposure.
• Avoid crushing, folding, or contaminating the coating surface during storage.
• Use clean, dry hands when donning gloves to maintain liner comfort and reduce contamination transfer.
• Follow site PPE procedures for laundering, reuse, or disposal after oily, liquid, or thermal exposure.

Ansell lists the HyFlex 11-925 under its Ansell Earth product information. Ansell identifies environmental attributes related to manufacturing and packaging for this product.

The HyFlex 11-925 is an industrial safety glove, not a sterile cleanroom glove. For controlled environments, evaluate the glove against the site’s particulate, extractable, contamination, packaging, laundering, and gowning requirements before approval. Use cleanroom-qualified gloves when the process requires validated low-particle, sterile, or cleanroom-specific hand protection.

Is the HyFlex 11-925 a chemical-resistant glove?
It is an oil-repellent industrial glove with RIPEL™ Liquid Repellence, but it should not be treated as a chemical immersion glove. Chemical exposure should be evaluated using chemical compatibility and breakthrough data.

Is the glove fully coated?
No. The HyFlex 11-925 is 3/4 coated, giving more coverage than a palm-coated glove while preserving flexibility and dexterity.

What is the cut level?
The glove is rated ANSI Cut Level A1, which is intended for light cut-risk applications.

Is the glove suitable for oily handling?
Yes. The HyFlex 11-925 is designed for oily conditions using Improved ANSELL GRIP™ Technology and RIPEL™ Liquid Repellence.

Can this glove handle heat?
The glove has EN 407 contact heat level 1 performance for occasional handling up to 100°C / 212°F for 15 seconds. It is not a high-heat glove.

Is the glove latex free, silicone free, and antistatic?
Yes. Ansell lists the HyFlex 11-925 as latex free, silicone free, and antistatic.

The HyFlex 11-925 is designed for oil-repellent mechanical hand protection with limited EN 407 contact heat level 1 performance. It is not intended for chemical immersion, electrical protection, open flame exposure, molten metal splash, prolonged hot-object handling, moving blade hazards, high cut-force hazards, or needle puncture protection. Final glove selection should be based on a documented hazard assessment, including liquid type, contact time, oil saturation risk, coating condition, heat exposure, edge sharpness, contact force, abrasion exposure, dexterity needs, touchscreen requirements, and replacement frequency.

Technical insight: Oil-repellent glove performance depends on the combined effect of liquid repellence, coating coverage, grip technology, abrasion resistance, cut rating, contact heat rating, saturation behavior, and task-specific exposure time.
