GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN.

Thinking differently and acting boldly

Our proprietary materials fuse patent-pending and unique technology with abrasion-resistant synthetic leather to provide the highest quality protection on the market. These high-dexterity and ultra-durable materials are combined with unmatched chemistry to create the strongest cut, tear, and fire resistance possible.

Fire Resistance

AX® Medora FR offers an innovative alternative to fire-resistant leather, achieving higher levels of FR by utilizing an organic makeup with inherent fire-resistant properties.

This material can self-extinguish when exposed to flame and will not continue to burn, shrink, or drip residue when ignited. Its cotton base is not only naturally fire-resistant but increases breathability and absorbs moisture, allowing perspiration to move away from the body upon contact with heat.

Cut Resistance

Whether you work with dangerous equipment or risky chemicals, AX® CPM-Cut A5 is the ideal choice for finger and palm applications in any glove requiring cut resistance.

Our high-strength lamination process fuses a palm suede and cut textile into a single material package, creating a 2-in-1 material with the essential combination of protection and performance.

Tested and proven via ANSI and EN388 to reach maximum levels of protection, this patent-pending material is setting new standards in the approach toward industrial safety.
