Ansell HyFlex 11-600 Polyurethane Coated Work Gloves
Ansell HyFlex 11-600 gloves combine a polyurethane palm coating with a 15-gauge nylon liner for light assembly and delicate component handling. Their flexible construction supports tactile feedback when inspecting parts, positioning fasteners or adjusting equipment. ASA SKU ANE11-600 is sold by the pair.
Key Features
- Thin polyurethane palm coating
- Lightweight knitted nylon liner
- Tactile sensitivity for delicate parts
- Knit wrist for a close fit
Common Uses and Applications
- Component assembly and inspection
- Mounting small components
- Adjusting systems and fasteners
- Light automotive assembly work
Precision Handling and Fit
The 11-600 uses polyurethane, commonly called PU. It is not a foam nitrile glove. The palm coating and nylon knit are designed for work where workers need to feel small parts and maintain control during detailed handling.
Check finger movement with the actual components before selecting a size. Excess material at the fingertips can interfere with positioning small fasteners, while an overly tight glove can restrict movement. The knit wrist should hold the glove comfortably without replacing a size assessment.
Manufacturer-Listed Standards
Ansell's datasheet lists ANSI/ISEA 105-2024 cut level A1 and abrasion Level 3. Its product page identifies EN 388:2016+A1:2018 code 3121A and EN ISO 21420:2020. These ratings describe specific tested properties, not protection against every hazard encountered during assembly.
A1 cut resistance does not make the glove cut-proof. Evaluate sharp metal, glass and blades separately. Abrasion performance does not guarantee a fixed number of shifts, and mechanical puncture ratings should not be treated as protection against hypodermic needles.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires appropriate hand protection for identified workplace hazards. Employers must evaluate performance, tasks, conditions and duration of use. Use the manufacturer ratings in that assessment; they do not constitute OSHA approval.
Choosing Between HyFlex Models
Select the 11-600 for detailed handling where tactile sensitivity matters. For dry or slightly oily general handling, compare the Ansell HyFlex 11-800 foam nitrile glove. Evaluate grip with actual workplace materials before issuing either model.
A palm-coated assembly glove is not a chemical barrier. Ansell lists the 11-600 as non-antistatic, so do not assume it meets an electronics ESD program's requirements. Select separately for electrical, chemical, thermal or impact hazards.
Inspection and Care
Inspect the knit and coating for holes, wear or contamination before use. Follow Ansell's care instructions and replace damaged gloves. Evaluate entanglement hazards before wearing gloves around exposed rotating machinery.
