Coats, the world’s leading industrial thread manufacturer, has launched Coats ArmorenTM, a range of cut-protected yarns engineered for both glove safety and comfort, providing game-changing solutions for the hand security industry.
Coats Armoren uses Coats’ innovative, advanced yarn manufacturing, which integrates cutting-edge engineering for hand protection. New generation stretch fibers and high-quality core yarn covering produce convenient laser-fine gloves that have the utmost tactile dexterity.The proprietary helical core construction provides the power of extreme cut resistance; multi-risk and arc flash protection; and high contact heat resistance – even at fine knitting gauges. Armoren Ultracut has proprietary reinforced core constructions to meet extreme laceration hazards. Armoren Ultralight has extra-soft fibres engineered which provide yarns for laser-fine knitted gloves that offer ultimate dexterity and protection.
Ronan Cox, President, Performance Materials, Coats, said: ‘We recognise cut protection products must be as comfortable as they are effective. Coats Armoren responds to the evolving industry demand to meet high safety standards across a wide range of hazardous environments while also offering comfort and performance. We have developed an innovative range of solutions that ensure we continue to meet our customers’ needs.’
Also being brought under the Coats Armoren range are two existing products. Armoren X13 incorporates the latest fibre and spinning technology to provide superior cut resistance and high durability. Armoren X14 has a special fibre blend with cooling technology that wicks moisture and reduces body heat.
Coats has a pioneering record in engineered yarn technology. Its unique combination of innovative technology and technical expertise has been further consolidated through acquisitions. By bringing together the combined expertise and heritage of the Coats, Patrick Yarns and Pharr HP brands, Coats has developed the Coats Armoren range of products.
