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
9) Best-Practice Industrial Deployment
  • Use for dry handling of moderately sharp industrial materials
  • Select higher cut-rated gloves for uncontrolled cut hazards
  • Replace gloves with visible abrasion or structural damage
  • Use chemical-resistant gloves when liquids or chemicals are present
  • Match glove size correctly to reduce snagging risk near machinery
