In the hands, the thumb and index finger make the difference in the “V-ZONE” due to their greater exposure to risks.
This is why these “V ZONES” must be protected in such a way that they do not lose maneuverability or comfort and improve resistance.
MAFEPE in most of its URO® gloves places a sheet of the same material or another that provides improvements to it. It has been demonstrated and confirmed with the analysis of thousands of different types of gloves, that 95% of all of them break in the “V ZONE”. This protection, which was introduced 30 years ago, has been improved with a larger protection surface called “bombers”, providing two extraordinary benefits: reduction or mitigation of accidents and lower consumption of gloves.
Example and comparison of resistances in the same glove:
- EN 388 (3, 5, 4, 3)
- Tests in “ZONE V” EN 388 (4, 5, 4, 4, 4)
- TESTS ISO 13997 = 29.33 N
URO® gloves protected in “ZONE V” exceed the life expectancy and are therefore good, economical and reliable over time. Gloves with a short or ephemeral life are very “expensive”.
