EISEN INNOVATION
The EISEN Protection Indicator is a unique intuitive glove selection system, specially designed to help eliminate incorrect glove selection, enabling the wearer to choose the correct risk-based protection. Glove ratings are comparatively complex to understand if wearing a pair of gloves is just a minor necessity of doing your job. It is unlikely that one-off training through toolbox talks and other teaching methods will result in the understanding being retained long term. This lack of knowledge can result in increased injuries from poor glove selection – possibly chosen for dexterity or comfort rather than offering sufficient protection.
Correct glove selection made easy
Whilst nearly all gloves may be marked correctly, very few wearers have any idea what most of the markings relate to – even the most critical ones. The EISEN Protection Indicator is the most straightforward, easy-to-use system available.
Easy to understand glove safety performance. Wearers using the EISEN Protection Indicator system are far more likely to select the correct fit-for-purpose glove based on the easy-to-understand information on the glove. Highlighting just the cut or heat protection level or using a different colour liner is a start, but it doesn’t provide context to the protection rating. Consequently, wearers often fail to understand the level of protection they are wearing despite the best efforts of hand protection manufacturers to assist. Fortunately, the EISEN Protection Indicator system addresses this in the simplest way possible – removing the confusion of standalone ratings
Reduce injuries through correct glove selection
Feedback from end users confirms that one of the frequent issues in hand injuries is the wearer selecting inappropriate protection. The user thought they were wearing cut or thermal protective gloves but had no idea what level of protection they provided. The EISEN Protection Indicator has been developed especially as a solution to this issue.
Visual and written safety standards
The intuitive EISEN Protection Indicator allows the wearer to easily identify the glove’s protective performance in both visual and written forms unlike other identification systems which do not indicate the spectrum of protection available or identify the specific thermal protection levels.
Multi-Lingual Guidance in 5 Languages
The system is translated into German and French on the glove itself and additionally Italian and Polish on the EISEN glove wrap, with the brief intuitive system guidance available in 5 languages.
Representing the pinnacle in safety performance, skin care and comfort, EISEN NBX technology represents a quantum leap forward in glove coatings.

Importance Of Silicone Free Hand Protection
Silicone contamination is a major factor in poor quality bonding and coatings, reckoned to be responsible for causing approximately 80% of craters – a well-recognised coating defect. This is primarily caused by a local surface wetting issue caused by reduced surface tension.
As a highly effective lubricant and release agent, silicone is present in many manufacturing processes, with a tendency to spread through a manufacturing facility either through physical contact or possibly by air stream. With very low surface energy, silicones wet most surfaces very well preventing other coatings, adhesives or sealants from securely bonding to a contaminated surface. It has been estimated that over a third of bonding issues in an aerospace manufacturing facility are directly caused by silicone contamination.
Poor coating finishes and bonding can lead to highly expensive reworking and cleaning or potentially scrapping affected production. Being relatively chemically inert, silicones are extremely difficult to remove in totality with a residue likely to remain, even after extensive cleaning.
The safest option is to select silicone-free materials and PPE. Gloves are a common source of silicone, potentially introducing extensive silicone contamination into the manufacturing process.
EISEN is the first glove manufacturer to launch a full range of silicone free hand protection. There is no longer any need to compromise on comfort, safety or performance when specifying silicone free hand protection for your workforce.
The EISEN DRI365 waterproof protection system is based on a best-in-class membrane and seam sealing combination.
What is the benefit of EISEN DRI365?
EISEN DRI365 waterproof garments outperform virtually every foul weather protective clothing available – not just initially, but after extended wear and washing. EISEN DRI365 are designed to be worn all year round, utilising a multi-layer system enabling the garments to be worn in both cold and mild weather.
Why is EISEN DRI365 so special?
Not only does EISEN DRI365 provide exceptional waterproofness and breathability, it maintains the performance, even after multiple wash cycles. Many fabrics will produce excellent waterproof performance initially, but rapidly deteriorate resulting in poor foul weather protection after a short period of use. Secondly, EISEN DRI365 high specification seam sealing provides outstanding liquid holdout where most waterproof garments quickly fail.
Why is seam sealing so critical?
The seams are the most vulnerable part of waterproof clothing and the most likely to leak. The EISEN DRI365 waterproof protection is based on the very best seam sealing components and manufacturing practice, ensuing all waterproof EISEN garments offer guaranteed rain holdout even after 50 washes.
What should I look for when selecting waterproof garments?
By EISEN standards, waterproof garments should continue to holdout the elements and breathe effectively, even after repeated wear and washing. This is based on fabrics and seams performing consistently over the lifetime of the garment. As a general rule, many manufacturers will advertise the initial waterproof performance of the fabrics. Very few will advertise the performance of the fabric after washing or the seam performance which is the most difficult waterproof measurement to achieve. Always look for guarantees of seam waterproofness after washing. The absence of any guarantee probably indicates limited waterproof durability.
What’s different about EISEN DRI365 compared to other waterproof fabrics?
Put simply, it’s the ongoing guaranteed waterproof performance and exceptional breathability. At EISEN, we are a centre of design and manufacturing excellence, spending months and years developing and perfecting the very best solutions to recurring wearer issues – leaking, clammy, foul weather clothing.
How do you guarantee EISEN DRI365 waterproof garments will continue to stay waterproof?
All EISEN designs have been extensively tested by independent test laboratories – well in excess of the test requirements of EN 343 Waterproof and Breathable Protective Clothing standard. We have our own inhouse test equipment, enabling us to test each production to ensure all garments meet the stringent EISEN DRI365 requirements.
How does EISEN DRI365 performance compare to other manufacturers?
At EISEN, we have extensively tested other garments on the market to benchmark our own developments. The results below provide a comparison of EISEN DRI365 against our typical garments, including after repeated washing.
How does EISEN DRI365 work so efficiently?
EISEN DRI365 membranes perform in both high and low temperatures, providing protection for wearers against extreme environmental conditions that they may be exposed to during their work.
EISEN DRI365 breathable membranes allow for sweat to pass through to the outer fabrics, to enable more efficient regulation of body temperature, allowing wearers to stay more comfortable for longer. The membranes’ waterproof nature prevents water from impregnating the base layers, providing protection for users in the coldest and wettest of conditions.
The breathable and waterproof technology of EISEN DRI365 membranes are also combined with lightweight and comfortable fabrics to provide a solution that is highly effective in a wide range of demanding environments.
