Abratex® is a yarn that provides the tensile strength to resist the metal burrs on sheet metal panels. The continuous filament yarn structure of Abratex® resists trapping dirt for increased abrasion and wear resistance. Filament fibers stay cleaner longer and recondition extremely well with the Bantex® process. These hand pads are made with an additional cotton blended yarn for oil absorption in order to provide an increased grip when lubricants are present. Provides economical and long lasting protection in sheet metal stamping and fabrication operations. These hand pads are ambidextrous for extended wear.
