Ansell Launches Hyflex(TM) Precision Comfort Series with Aerofit(TM) Technology

ISELIN, NEW JERSEY / ACCESS Newswire / October 16, 2025 / Ansell Limited (ASX:ANN), a global leader in protection solutions, announced the launch of HyFlex™ Precision Comfort Series with AEROFIT™ Technology, a new line of industrial gloves designed to boost precision and productivity of workers by providing a true second-skin fit for exceptional comfort and tactile control.

The series was developed in response to a common challenge in industries such as automotive, aerospace, metal fabrication, and equipment manufacturing: workers removing gloves due to discomfort or lack of tactile sensitivity to complete fine motor tasks. This behavior increases the risk of injury and reduces compliance with safety protocols. HyFlex Precision Comfort Series addresses these concerns with a breathable, second-skin design, featuring AEROFIT Technology, an innovative, flexible foam nitrile coating that is up to 30% thinner1 for enhanced tactility and sensitivity. It combines reliable cut and abrasion protection with premium comfort delivering greater precision and productivity, while promoting consistent glove use in performance-driven environments.

"When gloves are uncomfortable or difficult to work in, they don't get worn consistently. That's a major safety concern," said Paul Tierney, Vice President, Global Product Marketing at Ansell. "HyFlex Precision Comfort Series with AEROFIT Technology is designed to close that gap. It helps workers stay compliant by delivering the performance and protection they need to carry out intricate precision tasks with confidence and ease."

HyFlex Precision Comfort Series has been validated through real-world user feedback across key industries2, delivering measurable benefits in accuracy, productivity, and consistent use. These results reinforce its value for safety leaders seeking to improve compliance while maintaining high performance:

  • 98% of professionals surveyed preferred HyFlex gloves for precision handling tasks and all-day wear

  • Users wearing HyFlex gloves completed precision tasks up to 42% faster than using comparable gloves on the market

HyFlex Precision Comfort gloves are now available through authorized Ansell distributors and sales representatives in select regions. For more information or to request samples, please visit www.ansell.com/us/en/brands/hyflex or contact your local Ansell representative.

2 Based on a survey of 52 glove wearers comparing Ansell gloves to competitive gloves available on the market (May 2025); testing conducted with HyFlex 11-574 gloves. Results may vary across other gloves in the series.
