Honeywell Rig Dog™ Xtreme Impact Glove | Basalt Protection in Action

The drilling and heavy industry sectors leave no room for error. The Honeywell Rig Dog™ Xtreme glove is engineered for ultimate resilience, acting with the solidity, density, and tenacity of basalt against the harshest conditions on earth. This high-tier personal protective equipment (PPE) shields operators' hands against the two most critical and costly risks in the industrial sector: high-energy lacerations and severe crush injuries.

Materials Engineering & Critical Cut Shielding

Designed to exceed the demanding requirements of Oil & Gas, mining, and heavy construction operations, this glove transforms safety into operational continuity and total mitigation of legal and medical risks.

ANSI/ISEA Level A6 Ultra-Cut Resistance Shield

The palm of the Rig Dog™ Xtreme incorporates one of the most robust textile defenses in the global market, certified to ANSI/ISEA Level A6 against cuts. This ballistic-density barrier is specifically engineered to withstand direct contact with frayed steel cables, drilling burrs, structural sheets, and high-hazard sharp tools, effectively preventing amputations and deep puncture wounds.

CoreNest™ Biomechanical Impact Absorption Technology (Level 2)

Protecting the back of the hand is not achieved by adding dead weight, but by dissipating energy. Leveraging Honeywell's patented CoreNest™ technology, the glove utilizes a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) structure with a geometric honeycomb design. This advanced architecture features Level 2 Impact Certification, absorbing and deflecting the shockwaves caused by sledgehammer blows, heavy pipe drops, and mechanical pinch points, keeping the hand's bone structure completely intact.

Technical Performance in Fluid-Saturated Environments

On a drilling rig floor or inside a mine, absolute tool control is the only thing preventing a catastrophic accident. The Rig Dog™ Xtreme optimizes user interaction in the slickest scenarios.

Double-Layer Sandy Nitrile Coated Palm

To counteract the slippery effects of drilling muds, oils, and dense hydrocarbons, the palm features a specialized double-layer sandy nitrile coating. This micro-texture acts as a displacement pump that breaks the surface tension of fluids, ensuring a high-friction grip and millimetric control over pneumatic tools, valves, and heavy fittings.

Strategic Benefits & Occupational Health

Ergonomic Flexibility Against Workforce Fatigue

Despite its formidable level of protection, the flexibility of the CoreNest™ TPR and Honeywell’s ergonomic design allow for natural finger articulation. This drastically reduces operator muscle fatigue during extended shifts and eliminates the need to remove the glove for precision tasks, guaranteeing 100% PPE compliance on-site.

Suggested Applications in High-Risk Sectors

• Oil & Gas Industry: Critical operations on the drill floor (Roughnecks/Drillers), extraction, pipe lining, and predictive maintenance in refineries.
• Mining & Heavy Construction: Core sample handling, heavy excavation machinery operation, and structural wear-component replacement.
• Metal Structure Assembly: Crane maneuvers, heavy-gauge beam handling, bolted joints, and rigging equipment manipulation.
• High-Impact Mechanical Maintenance: Continuous use of torque tools, pneumatic impact wrenches, and handling grease-saturated sharp components.
