Sanitiser you can wear:

Our uvex phynomic silv-air and uvex phynomic silv-air grip gloves are the first uvex products to combine our tried-and-tested protective components with the revolutionary textile technology HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT. The innovative composition of our gloves minimises the risk of contact infection from objects within minutes by inhibiting the spread of bacteria and viruses on the gloves and inactivating 99.9%¹ of viral particles on the glove surface.

One ideal use for the uvex phynomic silv-air gloves is as a glove liner under disposable gloves like our uvex u-fit. When using the uvex phynomic silv-air, we recommend wearing disposable gloves one size bigger than you would usually use. The uvex phynomic silv-air can also be worn by themselves, ideally for activities that do not require special grip, such as pushing a shopping trolley or opening doors.
If better grip is required, for instance when working out at the gym, the uvex phynomic silv-air grip gloves are ideal. Additional, transparent micro-nubbing improves grip in dry environments, making it easier to grip and hold objects.

The sophisticated design of the uvex phynomic silv-air safety gloves is well-equipped to take on the health challenges that we are facing in our day-to-day lives. According to data from the Robert Koch Institute citizen portal GrippeWeb, between two and 14 million people contract influenza during a seasonal flu outbreak in Germany, for example, usually from droplets and secretions containing the virus that are passed on via hands and surfaces. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) also says that while there is not currently any hard evidence that coronavirus is transmitted through contact with contaminated objects or surfaces, the possibility of contact infections via surfaces as the source of transmission, having been previously contaminated with the virus, cannot be excluded. Those surveyed in the BfR Corona-Monitor on 10 – 11 November 2020* also consider the indirect transmission of coronavirus to be a relevant issue. 39% rate the risk of contracting coronavirus via door handles as high or very high. Cash, toys and food are also regarded as possible sources of infection.

An examination of the antiviral properties in accordance with ISO 18184:2019-06 showed that the uvex phynomic silv-air glove far exceeds the requirements and the viral load is minimised within minutes. The study involving the virus CCov – VR 809 (from the SARS-CoV-2 family) found that a canine virus type with a lipid envelope is broken down particularly quickly by the HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT technology. Covid-19 is caused by a virus from the same family. HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT is one of the first textile technologies in the world that has been proven in a laboratory to be effective against SARS-CoV-2. Tests by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, Australia (Doherty Institute) showed that the treated fabric achieved a 99.9 percent¹ reduction of the virus. This effectiveness of the gloves was proven again in independent tests carried out in accordance with ISO 18184:2019-06 and ISO 20743:2016.

As a textile treatment, HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT equips textiles with antiviral and antibacterial properties. By combining antimicrobial silver technology and vesicle technology, HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT rapidly destroys enveloped viruses, including coronaviruses¹.

The antiviral and antibacterial effect has been proven in HEIQ VIROBLOCK by CHT studies, and has also been confirmed by the uvex safety group at independent test institutes in accordance with ISO 18184:2019-06 (for viruses) and ISO 20743:2016 (for bacteria). The glove contains a biocide based on recycled silver salt with the active ingredient from silver chloride. Bacteria are rendered harmless when they come into contact with this active ingredient as it significantly reduces their reproductive capacity.

Before you put on the uvex phynomic silv-air, you should wash and dry your hands, following the five steps set out by the German Federal Centre for Health Education. Do not use any sanitiser or skin care products after washing your hands, as these can damage the gloves. We also recommend removing any jewellery and trimming your fingernails as these can damage the safety gloves. Check the gloves for damage before putting them on.

The uvex phynomic silv-air gloves can be removed in the normal way. Thanks to the disinfecting effect, which takes just a few minutes, the external surfaces of the gloves are not contaminated and so do not need to be avoided.

In contact infections, also known as smear infections, pathogens are transmitted through a chain of contact, e.g. from person to person or via objects. The pathogens can eventually enter the body via the mucus membranes in our mouth, nose or eyes through contact with the face and cause an infection. Examples of known contact infections include the flu and gastrointestinal infections.

The duration of use depends on the degree of wear and intensity of use. It is therefore not possible to provide specific times. For this reason, you should check the gloves regularly for wear and other damage and replace them with a new pair as necessary.

The gloves should be disposed of properly as household waste.

The gloves should be washed regularly as their effectiveness is impaired as they become more contaminated. They can be washed up to five times². Recommendation: 40°C gentle wash, dry flat.

The uvex phynomic silv-air glove should be stored in a dry, dark place.

uvex phynomic silv-air grip

The uvex phynomic silv-air and uvex phynomic silv-air grip safety gloves with antiviral and antibacterial properties are not additionally certified in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 for use in food processing and/or food production. Nevertheless, the glove is suitable for normal activities, e.g. putting away food in the wholesale and retail sectors, just like the other safety gloves that are currently used.

The uvex phynomic silv-air and uvex phynomic silv-air grip safety gloves are antiviral and antibacterial, meaning that viruses and bacteria that collect on the product as a result of any smear contact are reliably and rapidly inactivated¹. However, the glove is not sterile on delivery, i.e. has not gone through a sterilisation process prior to delivery and is not packaged in a sterile atmosphere.

With disposable safety gloves that use latex or nitrile as the base material, users may suffer allergic reactions to the glove material, resulting in issues such as redness, itchiness and eczema. Allergy sufferers can use the uvex phynomic silv-air safety gloves as an alternative to avoid this problem. We recommend using the uvex phynomic silv-air safety gloves as an alternative to disposable safety gloves in dry areas of application (no contact with blood or other fluids) or, in areas where fluid protection is required, as an additional glove liner underneath liquid-tight disposable safety gloves in order to avoid direct contact with the latex or nitrile material of the disposable gloves. Users also benefit from the antiviral and antibacterial effect of the uvex phynomic silv-air safety gloves, which rapidly inactivates viruses and bacteria¹.

If the safety glove is stored in the unopened packet in a clean, dry and dark place, it can be kept for up to three years. The HEIQ Viroblock treatment is firmly affixed to the textile and offers a high level of protection even after five washes. If the safety gloves are used relatively infrequently and are not subjected to heavy use, they should be replaced after six months.

The uvex phynomic silv-air safety glove offers the highest degree of safety. The antiviral and antibacterial treatment on the textile is distributed evenly and is effective across the entire glove. The uvex phynomic silv-air grip safety glove features additional nubbing for a secure grip. The number of nubs and their distribution is kept to a minimum so that they have only a minor impact on the antiviral and antibacterial effect of the textile.
