MCR introduces TPR protective glove technology
ERJ staff report (RD)
Memphis, Tennessee -- MCR Safety, a global specialist in protective equipment, has introduced new hand protection technology which features thermoplastic rubber (TPR) material, a 23 Feb company statement said.
The patented Zoombang protective glove technology uses TPR material that mirrors the bone structure of the hand to provide protection for the knuckle and back of the hand, MCR said. The Memphis, Tennessee-based company also has exclusive distribution rights.
The Zoombang polymer is soft and fluid-like to the touch, stiffening and locking on when impacted to a solid state to provide maximum protection before reverting to its original soft state, the statement added.
