New Technology in Flame, Heat, Cut Protection



Magid has introduced the AeroDex FR featuring cut-resistant FR technology for flame-resistant PPE.

"Flame-resistant PPE is the last line of protection between workers and flames, sparks and heat," said a company spokesperson. "But historically, that protection has come in an itchy, stiff and uncomfortable glove. That is because the fibers used to make traditional aramid FR fabrics have a rough, almost hairy texture. They are effective for resisting flames, but they feel a lot like wearing a bad wool sweater. Workers have loved the light, cut-resistant comfort of Magid's AeroDex Technology for years. So Magid's safety experts took that incredibly flexible, cut-resistant AeroDex core and combined it with the space-age materials used to make sturdy, life-saving items like bullet proof vests to create a brand-new proprietary material-AeroDex FR. This new material is flexible, comfortable, lightweight and cut- and flame-resistant."

Features and benefits include:

  • 25% lighter with half the thickness of comparable cut-resistant aramid materials, AeroDex FR is specially engineered to feel cooler.
  • AeroDex FR cut- and impact-resistant gloves provide enhanced dexterity and tactile sensitivity with ANSI A6 cut protection.
  • A foam neoprene palm coating provides contact heat and flame resistance without sacrificing grip in dry, oily and wet conditions.
