Ansell HyFlex® 70-215 Cut Resistant Industrial Gloves — Reusable Kevlar® Hand Protection

The Ansell HyFlex® 70-215, formerly known as Neptune® Kevlar® 70-215, is a medium-duty cut-resistant industrial glove designed for metal handling, automotive manufacturing, equipment assembly, machinery operation, and general industrial maintenance where workers encounter sharp edges, abrasion hazards, and repetitive handling tasks.

Manufactured from 100% DuPont™ Kevlar®, the HyFlex 70-215 combines cut protection, thermal stability, flexibility, and long-term durability in a reversible and launderable design. Its terry-loop knitted construction improves cushioning and heat insulation while maintaining ergonomic comfort for extended wear periods.

Key advantage: ANSI A2 Kevlar cut protection with Neptune® liquid-repellent treatment, reinforced thumb welt, and reusable ambidextrous construction for cost-effective industrial safety programs.

Why Kevlar® Is Used in Industrial Gloves

Kevlar fibers are widely used in industrial hand protection because they combine high tensile strength, low weight, thermal stability, and cut resistance. This allows gloves to provide mechanical protection while preserving enough flexibility for repetitive industrial work.

Helps reduce laceration risk from sharp edges
Maintains flexibility during repetitive handling
Supports longer wear life than conventional textile gloves
Provides limited thermal insulation for warm components

Neptune® Treatment Technology

Ansell’s Neptune® treatment helps repel liquid from the glove fibers, reducing saturation and helping preserve Kevlar yarn integrity during industrial use.

Feature	Industrial Benefit
Liquid repellence	Helps reduce liquid absorption into fibers
Fiber protection	Supports longer glove service life
Reusable design	Improves long-term value in PPE programs

Neptune treatment does not make the glove liquid-proof or chemically resistant.

Reversible and Washable Construction

The ambidextrous HyFlex 70-215 can be worn on either hand and repeatedly laundered, helping facilities reduce inventory complexity and glove replacement cost.

Supports reusable PPE programs
Helps simplify glove inventory management
Can reduce glove waste compared to disposable systems
Useful for repetitive dry handling applications

Recommended Applications

Metalworking and assembly operations
Automotive manufacturing
Handling sharp-edged components
Inspection and quality-control operations
Machinery and equipment handling
General industrial maintenance

Important Use Limitations

The HyFlex 70-215 is intended for mechanical cut protection only. It is not chemical-resistant, not puncture-resistant, not liquid-proof, and should not be used near moving blades, serrated equipment, or open flames.

About Ansell HyFlex®

Ansell HyFlex industrial gloves are engineered for mechanical hand protection where durability, comfort, flexibility, and task-specific performance must coexist. The HyFlex 70-215 is optimized for reusable medium-duty cut protection in industrial handling environments.

Technical insight: Many industrial gloves fail first at thumb and palm wear zones rather than from catastrophic cut-through events—proper laundering and inspection significantly impact glove lifespan.

The Technical Vault: Ansell HyFlex® 70-215

Vault purpose: Advanced analysis of Kevlar fiber mechanics, ANSI A2 cut resistance, Neptune® treatment technology, terry-loop construction, industrial wear behavior, and reusable PPE lifecycle management.

1) What the HyFlex 70-215 Is

The HyFlex 70-215 is a medium-duty reusable Kevlar cut-resistant glove intended for dry industrial handling environments where workers encounter moderate cut hazards, abrasive surfaces, repetitive handling tasks, and intermittent warm-part contact.

2) ANSI A2 Cut Resistance Explained

ANSI/ISEA 105 cut ratings measure the amount of force required for a standardized blade to cut through glove material under controlled laboratory conditions.

ANSI A2: intended for light-to-medium cut hazards
Suitable for controlled industrial handling applications
Not designed for extreme cut exposure
Real-world performance depends on blade geometry, angle, motion, and force

Cut resistance does not equal puncture resistance or protection against powered cutting tools.

3) Kevlar® Fiber Mechanics

Kevlar is a para-aramid fiber engineered for high tensile strength and thermal stability. In glove construction, Kevlar yarns distribute cutting force across multiple fibers to resist localized blade penetration.

High strength-to-weight ratio
Flexible enough for repetitive handling tasks
Better thermal stability than many conventional fibers
Good durability under repeated flexing

4) Terry-Loop Construction and Thermal Buffering

The terry-loop knit structure creates a thicker, cushioned glove wall that improves comfort, impact absorption, and thermal insulation.

Construction Feature	Functional Benefit
Looped yarn structure	Additional cushioning and insulation
Thicker glove wall	Improved mechanical barrier depth
Flexible knit geometry	Maintains ergonomic hand movement

5) Neptune® Treatment Technology

Neptune treatment helps repel liquids from the glove surface, reducing fiber saturation and helping preserve Kevlar yarn integrity.

Reduces liquid penetration into fiber structure
Helps maintain glove flexibility over time
Can improve glove wear life in dry-to-light-moisture environments
Does not create chemical resistance or liquid-proof sealing

6) Reinforced Thumb Welt and Wear Zones

Industrial gloves typically fail first in high-flex and high-friction regions. The thumb-index interface experiences concentrated stress during gripping and repetitive handling.

Thumb welt reinforcement improves abrasion resistance
Grip stress concentrates at pinch zones
Repeated flexing accelerates yarn fatigue
Edge contact increases localized wear

7) Laundering and PPE Lifecycle Management

Reusable industrial gloves can reduce long-term PPE cost when laundering and inspection programs are properly controlled.

Inspect gloves after laundering for thinning and damage
Retire gloves showing cuts, holes, or severe abrasion
Avoid laundering conditions that degrade fibers
Track replacement intervals for standardized PPE programs

8) Critical Use Limitations

Do Not Use For	Reason
Chemical exposure	Not chemical-resistant
Liquid immersion	Not liquid-proof
Powered blades	Mechanical hazards exceed intended design
Needle or puncture hazards	Cut resistance is not puncture resistance
