At SW Sustainability Solutions, we believe that true innovation lies in the materials we design from the inside out. That’s why we developed AxiFybr Technology—a cutting-edge engineered yarn solution that redefines what’s possible in glove durability, comfort, performance, and sustainability.
AxiFybr is a dual-layer engineered yarn system, composed of two sets of yarns wound together: an inner core and an outer layer. This construction may sound simple, but its impact is anything but. The true innovation lies in how these layers interact.
Unlike conventional yarn technologies, AxiFybr™ uses a precisely engineered yarn covering mechanism, combined with strategic material selection and an optimized liner knitting structure. The result is a glove liner that performs better, lasts longer, feels more comfortable, and supports sustainability goals.
To understand AxiFybr, let’s explore how supported gloves using this technology are made:
1. Raw Yarn Selection
Careful selection of advanced materials enables customization based on protection needs:
Each material contributes specific qualities such as flexibility, strength, application-suiting and durability, tailored to the glove’s end use.
2. Yarn Covering Mechanism
The heart of AxiFybr—where the inner core and outer layer yarns are wound with precision to enhance strength, performance and consistency.
3. Liner Knitting
Knitting structure and gauge (stitches per inch) play a crucial role in determining comfort and dexterity.
Common gauges include:
Higher gauge = finer, more dexterous liner.
Lower gauge = thicker, tougher liner.
4. Coating Dipping
After the liner is knitted, specialized coatings are applied to the palm or full glove for enhanced grip, chemical resistance, or abrasion protection.
5. Label Printing and Packing
Final steps ensure product traceability, compliance, and presentation for the end user.
AxiFybr isn’t just about what goes into the yarn—it’s about what it does for the glove and the person wearing it.
Performance
Engineered yarns deliver 21% higher cut resistance than traditional options. AxiFybr™ also boosts slash resistance, improving the glove’s ability to endure rough tasks.
Durability
Gloves made with AxiFybr™ exhibit 48% greater yarn strength (tenacity) compared to para-aramid composite. This means longer-lasting protection under stress, especially in high-wear environments.
Comfortability
By aligning advanced materials with the right liner structure, AxiFybr™ gloves feel lighter, fit better, and move more naturally reducing hand fatigue during long shifts.
Sustainability
With a focus on eco-conscious raw materials, AxiFybr helps reduce environmental impact without compromising on protection or performance. This aligns with SW’s ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation.
Yarn strength, or tenacity, is measured in grams per denier (g/den). The higher the value, the stronger the yarn. AxiFybr™ consistently scores higher than standard yarns, meaning our gloves last longer reducing the need for frequent replacements and supporting a more sustainable PPE cycle.
-AxiFybr is embedded in some of SW’s most advanced gloves, including:
Each of these gloves benefits from the unique yarn structure and advanced features AxiFybr brings to the table—cut protection, superior fit, and reduced waste.
AxiFybr Technology is more than just yarn. It’s the foundation of a better glove—engineered to meet the evolving needs of workers across industries while pushing forward SW’s mission of performance without compromise and sustainability without shortcuts.
