Within the intricate balance of industrial safety, every innovation is a step towards a safer, more sustainable future.
Polyco Healthline's latest offering, Polyflex Eco Air, represents a culmination of technological advancements and environmental consciousness, but its roots lie deeper, in the very fibres of its design.
The Quest for Lightweight Protection
Across industries, the demand for lightweight gloves with18-gauge liners has been steadily rising. This preference stems from the need for enhanced dexterity without compromising protection. As tasks become more intricate, workers require gloves that offer a delicate balance between dexterity and safety.
Enter Recycled Nylon Yarn
Key to Polyflex Eco Air is a simple yet revolutionary component, recycled nylon yarn. This innovative material represents a major shift in glove manufacturing, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials without sacrificing performance. By repurposing nylon fibres, Polyco Healthline has not only

Introducing Polyflex Eco Air, a remarkable addition to Polyco Healthline’s range of safety gloves, blending cutting edge technology with environmentally conscious materials redefining hand protection in the workplace.
Understanding the Technology
At its core, Polyflex Eco Air is engineered to deliver optimal performance without compromising on environmental responsibility.
Let's delve into the key technological features that set this glove apart.
Ultra Lightweight Construction
One of the standout features of Polyflex Eco Air is its 18-gauge, incredibly lightweight liner. This design not only ensures maximum dexterity but also minimises fatigue during prolonged use. By employing advanced manufacturing techniques, Polyco Healthline has achieved a balance between comfort and protection, enhancing user experience across various industries.
Recycled Nylon Yarn
In a bid to reduce environmental impact, Polyflex Eco Air utilises recycled nylon yarn, adding to our Eco range, but our first foray
Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with the environmental impact of the products and services they use, and so there is great demand for products which purport to minimise harm to, or benefit, the environment. This focus on sustainability has led to the proliferation of products with various green claims, however, many of which may mislead consumers and/or exaggerate any environmental benefits. Biodegradation-promoting additives (also referred to as enzyme-mediated biodegradable additives) are claimed to make conventional (typically derived from fossil fuels and non-biodegradable) polymers (such as nitrile) attractive to microorganisms and therefore biodegradable (in landfill conditions) when incorporated with the polymer, thus proposing an end of life solution for non-recyclable polymers (including nitrile gloves). The exact mechanism by which these additives supposedly function is yet to be explained or proven in any publicly available peer-reviewed scientific study
The global Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated innovations and brought opportunities for product enhancements.
Polyco Heallthline teamed up with industry experts to develop a range of gloves treated with Sanitized AG antimicrobial additive. The additive inhibits microbial activity improving the hygiene of the products.
The Sanitized® hygiene treatment protects the gloves from microbial growth, odours and provides long lasting material protection.
Microbes can infect people when they touch their face, and the most common ways a glove user will touch their face is when they wipe sweat away with the fabric back of the glove or remove the gloves to touch their face with their bare hand. Our Sanitized® Glove Range will provide some protection in both instances.
Furthermore, viruses need a living host; by inhibiting the amount of bacteria on the glove surface, the chance of reproduction of viruses on a glove surface is then significantly reduced.
Stock of our Sanitized® Glove Range is now available.
