RINGERS® impact gloves from Ansell provide hand protection against occupational impact hazards in a variety of ways.
The RINGERS® signature impact protection system uses thermoplastic rubber, called TPR, which disperses impact energy, reducing the force of impact and impact injuries on fragile bones. Each thermoplastic rubber TPR glove is fine-tuned to maintain dexterity, flexibility, and comfort, without compromising protection from impact hazards. See the two tables below for a further understanding of how gloves including impact protection work.
Glove Designs: TPR Cross Section
Each piece of our thermoplastic rubber is securely stitched to the backside of the hand. To maintain a full range of motion, our designs meticulously follow the anatomy of the hand. Our TPR is constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit the purpose and use of the gloves. Heavy-duty jobs require more extensive impact protection covering a larger portion of hands than lighter-duty jobs.
Glove Designs: Impact Dispersion
TPR is expertly designed with precision in order to effectively disperse energy from an impact. Our unique design combines TPR attributes such as thickness, shape, hardness, softness, and color to produce the most effective impact glove in the world.
Many of Ansell's work gloves include TPR impact protection combined with cut-resistant liners for many types of occupational cut hazards. Several Ansell impact gloves are dipped in nitrile to enhance wet grip and contain extra palm coating to reduce vibrations. Ansell also has gloves that provide protection against arc flash and many more gloves that are even touchscreen compatible.
