Ironclad’s R&D Department is continually designing and testing the next generation of advanced materials and technology. All materials and product designs are rigorously field tested prior to market release.


GLOVE TECHNOLOGY
 

AIRPRENE

 

Similar to Neoprene but lighter and breathable, this material is used for additional support or impact protection in areas where lightweight breathability is required in addition to flexibility


ARMORFLEX™

 

This fabric combines flexibility with high abrasion resistance. ArmorFlex™ is used on finger sidewalls in our Icon® professional gloves and the shell of our Gore-Tex® Tundra®.


BULLWHIP® LEATHER

 

Leather gloves will never be the same. This revolutionary leather is tough, durable, and comfortable, yet completely washable - it won’t shrink, stretch or harden after repeated washings.


CONTOURGRIPT  

Ironclad’s patented palm pattern used on vibration impact gloves. Jointed 3D palm geometry ensures a solid, comfortable grip on tools, while 100% silicone pads absorb impact forces from pneumatic vibrating tools.


COMBO CUFF®

 

The protection and comfort of a slip-fit cuff with the secure fit of a hook and loop closure.


DIAMONDCLAD™

 

Silicone is fused to the synthetic leather palm and fingers of gloves like the Box Handler® and Gripworx® in an Ironclad-exclusive process.  Diamonclad® ensures a non-slip grip on smooth surfaces such as glass, cardboard, metal, wood and plastic.


DUPONT™ KEVLAR®  

Kevlar fiber, pound for pound one of the strongest materials known to man, can be found in applications such as bulletproof vests.  Five times stronger than its equal in steel, Kevlar® is blended into reinforcements on many Ironclad gloves, and is also used extensively for its resistance to heat and cutting in our Heatworx® line.


DUPONT™ TEFLON®  

DuPont Teflon, used for everything from non-stick cooking surfaces to critical aerospace coatings, is known for its amazing resistance to adhesion.  Ironclad has developed a process that treats our synthetic leather blends with Teflon to give them exceptional oil, water and heat resistance.


EDG® TECHNOLOGY   Invented and patented by Ironclad. EDG® technology is a three dimensional, molded rubber palm that provides extreme grip and durability. Found exclusively on the Extreme glove and targeted for future glove development.

HOTSHIELD®

 

Used exclusively on Ironclad’s new Heatworx® gloves, Hotshield® is a patent pending fabric that has the look, feel and durability of leather, yet is shrink and heat resistant and repels water and oil.

     

IBREATHE® STRETCH MESH

 

iBreathe stretch mesh is engineered to wick away sweat, stretch to fit and stay cool and comfortable all day long. Exclusively on the Mach 5® glove.

     

IRONCLAD SYNTHETIC LEATHER

 

Extremely tough, yet remains flexible and comfortable even after withstanding severe jobsite abuse and repeated washings.

     

IMPROVED DURACLAD® AND
DURACLAD
® 600

 

Proven on the hands of workers world-wide, Duraclad® is a textured, flexible and highly abrasion resistant material that takes a beating so your hands won’t have to.  Duraclad® 600 ups the ante by providing even more grip and even better d u r a b i l i t y.

     

IRONCLAD PATENTED
PALM DESIGN

 

A specialized palm pattern found on many of our glove styles, designed to flex with the structure of your hand. Whenever you see it, you know it’s Ironclad

     

I-VIZ®

 

High visibility, daytime or nighttime - that’s the mark of an I-Viz® product made with fluorescent orange or lime green fabrics and highly reflective components.

     

NEOPRENE

 

Made of high density foam rubber, Neoprene combines warmth with support, flexibility and impact protection.  Used in Ironclad winter gloves for knuckle protection & wrist support.

     

SEAMLESS ROLLTOP®
FINGERTIPS

 

Ironclad’s patented RollTop® design eliminates all seams on the fingertips. This revolutionary design places a smooth layer of material on the most sensitive parts of your fingers, giving you the ultimate in tactility, comfort and durability.

     

THERMOTEC® FLEECE

 

A three-layer technical fleece that’s windproof, warm, soft and stretches to fit your hand.  This design incorporates two layers of stretch fleece surrounding a windproof, breathable membrane - ideal for cold and windy days, on and off the job.

   

 
WORKWEAR TECHNOLOGY
 

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT   Ironclad's micro fiber fabrics wick sweat up to 6X faster than traditional workwear. This technology helps keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
     

ODOR RESISTANCE   Unlike typical odor treatments, Ironclad's odor neutralizing agent is engineered into the fiber. This fabric technology ensures odor free benefits throughout the life of the garment.
     

TEMPERATURE REGULATING   Breathable fabrics and underarm vent panel's aid in keeping body temperature stabilized, regardless of weather conditions.
     

RE-FLEXXTM REFLECTIVE TRIM   Breathable, flexible reflective trim with 3MTM ScotchliteTM Technology. ANSI certified Class 2 high visibility ANSI/ISEA 107-2004.
     

ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION   Every Ironclad work shirt carries a UPF of 30+ protecting your body from the sun’s harmful rays so that you can concentrate on the job at hand.
     

EXTENDED RANGE OF MOTION   A combination of design features provide extended comfort and range of motion in all Ironclad performance workwear. Anatomically engineered shoulder and arm patterns allow full overhead arm motion.
     

FLAT SEAM STITCHING   Using only the toughest threads, Ironclad’s full line of performance workwear uses double-stitched flat seamed stitching for maximum comfort and durability.
     

BUILT TOUGH… WORKER APPROVED   Fabric construction, odor-fighting technologies, and innovative anatomically-designed garments are built with the industrial athlete in mind. That’s why every Ironclad product is designed to overcome the elements on any jobsite.
     

DRI –T: LOOSE FIT   Dri-T wicks sweat 4X faster than cotton, eliminates odors with FreshGuardTM technology, and was made specifically to perform in a working environment. That means a better fit while you’re lifting, loading, hauling or hammering.
     

1STLAYER FORM FIT   Built for performance, 1stLayer fits snug to provide muscle compression and regulate body temperature, decreasing muscle fatigue. A Perfect shirt to be worn under work uniforms or safety equipment. 1stLayer wicks sweat 6X faster than cotton and is built to outperform the toughest jobs on the planet.
