HexArmor Rig Lizard® 2028X Industrial Glove | High-Tier Multi-Risk Shielding

Heavy drilling, refining, and metalworking environments demand safety equipment that compromises on no front. The HexArmor® Rig Lizard® 2028X glove is a multi-risk biomechanical platform engineered to protect operators against simultaneous threats: high-energy impacts, severe lacerations, and conductive thermal transfer from direct surface contact.

Certified Thermal & Mechanical Protection Engineering

Operational excellence is backed by scientific data and international standards. The 2028X model features global laboratory-certified ratings that guarantee effective on-site risk mitigation for industrial workforces.

Certified Contact Heat Protection (Up to 250 °C / 180°C to 250°C Range)

Industrial burns represent some of the most complex injuries in occupational health. This model solves that specific risk factor through dual thermal shielding:

• ANSI/ISEA 105:2024 (Level 3): Guarantees that the glove materials resist conductive thermal transfer when handling hot surfaces or tools at temperatures up to 250 °C, granting a vital safety reaction window for the operator.
• European Standard EN 407:2004 (X2XXXX): The digit '2' in the contact heat position validates under strict international criteria that the textile structure efficiently dissipates thermal flow during direct handling of heated components.

IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™ Protection (Class 2)

To prevent crush fractures, mechanical pinch points, and contusions on the back of the hand, it incorporates the patented IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™. Its highly flexible, segmented design is certified under the ANSI/ISEA 138:2019 Class 2 standard, absorbing and diverting shockwaves away from knuckles and fingers without restricting natural gripping motions.

Grip Control & Structural Palm Resistance

Losing control of heavy tools due to industrial fluid saturation is a root cause of catastrophic accidents on rig floors and workshops.

MudGrip® Palm Technology for Fluid-Saturated Environments

The palm is constructed from reinforced synthetic leather integrated with specialized MudGrip® technology, featuring high-friction PVC dots. This engineering layout is specifically designed to:

• Break the surface tension of oils, lubricating greases, and heavy drilling muds, ensuring stable torque and secure handling.
• Drastically increase resistance against mechanical abrasion and premature glove degradation.

Composite HPPE and Micro-Steel Filaments Core

Concealed beneath the MudGrip® palm lies a high-density inner liner knit from a proprietary blend of HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene) and micro-steel filaments. This internal shield acts as a secondary defense layer, providing excellent resistance against cuts and lacerations from metal burrs, hand tools, or jagged edges.

Biomechanical Design & Operational Continuity

The Rig Lizard® 2028X features an advanced pre-curved architecture that reduces textile resistance as the hand closes, minimizing muscle fatigue during extended shifts. Its high-precision fit ensures the glove remains securely in position, maximizing 100% PPE compliance across critical production areas.

High-Demand Sectors & Applications

• Well Drilling & Mining: Rig floor operations, heavy pipe handling, and mechanical couplings exposed to fluids and impact hazards.
• Refineries & Chemical Plants: Maintenance procedures where hot surfaces, hydrocarbon-saturated valves, and impact risks coexist.
• Assembly & Heavy Manufacturing: Handling castings, steam pipe connections, light forging, and structural steel assembly.
