HAND PROTECTION MAGID’S VERSATEKTM coating is an intelligent and durable technology that adapts to almost any environment so workers can get the job done without having to sacrifice safety, comfort, grip or dexterity. Specially engineered stabilizers allow this technology to read the environment and adapt to amplify the worker’s grip when working in wet, dry, slick, abrasive or oily conditions. VersaTek is designed for maximum comfort and flexibility. This coating delivers over 50 percent more abrasion resistance than other glove coatings and consistently provides well above the minimum for the highest Level 6 abrasion level protection. www.magidglove.com EYE PROTECTION To meet a variety of jobsite applications, THRAXUS ELITE from RADIANS® is available with or without IQuityTM, Radians’ intelligent anti-scratch, anti-fog technology.
