THE STORY OF HAGANE COIL®
WHERE COMFORT AND SAFETY GO HAND IN HAND
With Hagane Coil® technology, SHOWA® is able to provide work gloves with high levels of cut-resistance without sacrificing comfort for the wearer.
Hagane Coil® utilizes a unique coiling technique that binds an attending yarn to a stainless steel core. The integrated steel core provides better protection than any natural or synthetic fibers, yet it is thin enough to allow flexibility and free movement as the hand bends and flexes.
SHOWA® is synonymous with the highest degree of hand protection and innovation. By utilizing different composite yarns SHOWA® can create a different wearing experience. Soft yarns and stainless steel combinations offer more comfort and dexterity, while hard yarns and stainless steel offer superior protection and durability. It is a combination that offers maximum protection, comfort and performance.
S-TEX® SERIES
INDUSTRIAL WORK GLOVES
To provide better individual protection against cuts, SHOWA® has engineered several glove shells with Hagane Coil®. This has led to the forming of S-TEX® Series, a hand protection line that features the best ANSI-Rated cut-resistant gloves that SHOWA® has to offer.
