In the world of industrial safety, not all gloves are created equal, and neither are their coatings. Enter BioFlex360, an advanced glove coating technology developed by SW to outperform conventional coatings where it truly matters, in comfort, durability, and control. It’s a coating solution not just engineered for the lab, but designed to withstand the rigors of real industrial environments.

What Makes BioFlex360 Different?

Unlike standard glove coatings that often force a trade-off—grip versus flexibility, durability versus comfort—BioFlex360 stands out by delivering a well-rounded solution. It brings a synergy of performance traits that matter on the floor- ergonomics, breathability, and mechanical resistance.

  • Unmatched Comfort – BioFlex360 is built with a soft-touch polymer blend that moves with the hand’s natural curvature. The result? Reduced muscle strain, less hand fatigue, and more productive shifts for workers in repetitive tasks or extended wear scenarios.
  • Breathability Without Sacrifice – The unique lattice structure embedded in the coating promotes airflow while still resisting sweat generation. Workers stay drier and more comfortable without sacrificing safety in hot or humid work zones.
  • Precision Grip – A microtextured palm coating enhances grip on dry surfaces, enabling confident handling of tools, parts, and equipment. This grip precision leads to fewer dropped items, reduced strain, and enhanced control.
  • Durable Performance – Tested to meet and exceed EN 388 and ANSI/ISEA 105 standards, BioFlex360 offers superior abrasion resistance without stiffening or cracking over time, critical for industries where high hand contact and tool interaction are daily routines.

Built for Real Work, Not Just the Lab

BioFlex360 is already proving its value in the field. From logistics hubs to automotive assembly lines, this coating handles harsh mechanical conditions and repeated wear without failing. Its single-layer design incorporates a high-stretch foundation and durable surface layer, ensuring gloves maintain form, function, and feel over time.

Unlike coatings that peel, harden, or degrade quickly under frequent use, BioFlex360 maintains its performance throughout the glove’s life cycle. It helps workers stay safe and productive, without having to ‘fight the glove.’ It’s no surprise that supervisors report lower glove replacement rates and higher team satisfaction.

A Smarter Investment

SW TotalForm range is designed with the BiFlex360 Technology. BioFlex360 isn’t just another glove coating, it’s a smarter operational decision. With long-lasting performance, consistent protection, and ergonomic advantages, companies reduce waste, cut costs, and boost compliance. It’s a choice that pays off not just in protection, but in performance and peace of mind.
