Oil Repellence vs. Chemical Protection
The HyFlex 11-937 is designed for oil and liquid repellence with 3/4 coating coverage. RIPEL™ Technology helps repel oil and liquids to reduce skin contact during handling, but this should not be treated as universal chemical breakthrough protection or a substitute for a chemical-resistant glove selected from permeation data.
| Performance Area |
What It Means |
| RIPEL™ liquid repellence |
Helps repel oil and liquids to reduce skin contact during handling. |
| 3/4 coated design |
Provides extended liquid coverage while retaining more breathability than fully coated glove designs. |
| Chemical protection |
Not a substitute for a chemical-resistant glove with validated permeation and breakthrough data. |

Inspection Before Use
- Inspect the 3/4 foam nitrile coating for cuts, punctures, cracks, pinholes, peeling, swelling, stiffness, or worn-through areas.
- Check fingertips, thumb crotch, palm, coated back-of-hand areas, and high-contact zones for coating separation or abrasion damage.
- Confirm the 18-gauge Dyneema® Diamond Technology liner is intact and not exposed through excessive coating wear.
- Check that touchscreen function remains acceptable for the task if device use is required.
- Check that the knitwrist cuff is not stretched out, torn, contaminated, or loose.
- Do not use gloves contaminated with unknown chemicals, incompatible substances, or heavy oil saturation beyond site limits.
- Replace gloves when coating integrity, liquid repellence, oily grip, cut protection, touchscreen performance, fit, or protective function is visibly compromised.
Storage & Handling Notes
- Store gloves in a clean, dry location away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, ozone, sharp objects, and incompatible chemicals.
- Avoid crushing, folding, or contaminating the 3/4-coated foam nitrile surface during storage.
- Keep gloves away from solvents or chemicals unless separately evaluated for that exposure.
- Keep touchscreen contact areas clean enough to support device use where required.
- Use clean, dry hands when donning gloves to maintain liner comfort and reduce contamination transfer.
- Follow site PPE procedures for inspection, reuse, laundering, oil contamination control, antistatic evaluation, and disposal.
Cleanroom & Controlled Environment Note
The HyFlex 11-937 is an industrial oil-repellent cut-resistant glove, not a sterile cleanroom glove. For controlled environments, evaluate the glove against the site’s particulate, extractable, linting, contamination, packaging, laundering, foam nitrile coating, oil-control, silicone status, antistatic requirements, touchscreen use, and gowning requirements before approval. Use cleanroom-qualified gloves when the process requires validated low-particle, sterile, or cleanroom-specific hand protection.
Technical FAQs
What is the cut level of the HyFlex 11-937?
The glove is rated ANSI Cut Level A2 and carries an EN ISO cut level B classification under EN 388 4X42B.
What makes the HyFlex 11-937 different from fully coated oil-repellent gloves?
The HyFlex 11-937 is 3/4 coated, giving extended liquid coverage while preserving more breathability and flexibility than a fully coated design.
What does RIPEL™ Technology do?
RIPEL™ helps repel oil and liquids to reduce skin contact during handling tasks.
Is this glove touchscreen compatible?
Yes. Ansell lists the HyFlex 11-937 as touchscreen compatible, allowing device use without glove removal.
What is the liner material?
Ansell lists the liner as Dyneema® Diamond Technology in an 18-gauge construction.
Is this glove latex free, silicone free, and antistatic?
Yes. Ansell lists the HyFlex 11-937 as latex free, silicone free, and antistatic.
Critical Use Limitations
The HyFlex 11-937 is designed for 3/4-coated oil-repellent cut-resistant mechanical hand protection with extended liquid coverage. It is not intended for chemical immersion, unvalidated chemical breakthrough protection, electrical protection, thermal protection, flame exposure, molten metal splash, moving blade hazards, cut hazards beyond its A2 / EN ISO B rating, or needle puncture protection. RIPEL™ liquid repellence and 3/4 coating coverage should not be treated as universal chemical protection. Final glove selection should be based on documented hazard assessment, edge sharpness, contact force, oil exposure, liquid exposure, chemical compatibility, exposure duration, abrasion exposure, puncture exposure, grip requirements, touchscreen requirements, coating condition, glove fit, and replacement frequency.
Technical insight: The HyFlex 11-937 is strongest where 3/4-coated liquid coverage, oil repellence, A2 cut resistance, oily grip, and touchscreen compatibility must work together; for full-hand maximum liquid coverage, higher cut, chemical immersion, thermal, impact, sterile, or cleanroom-specific needs, select a glove designed for that specific hazard profile.
