Ansell – Improved FORTIX™ technology: delivering performance and sustainability

What is FORTIX™ technology?
FORTIX™ is a patented Ansell technology that uses a proprietary coating and texturing process to enhance durability, grip, comfort, and breathability of knitted gloves. It applies a thin, resilient, and breathable nitrile foam coating, significantly extending the gloves’ lifespan and improving their overall comfort.

How does it benefit you and the environment?
The usage and application of FORTIX™ Technology in our products benefit the environment in multiple ways, improving glove life and product end-of-life, leading to increased sustainability. We take a proactive and holistic approach to manufacturing, product usage, and disposal, including packaging considerations.

Paving the way with sustainable and resposible manufacturing
FORTIX™ plays a crucial role in advancing our sustainability vision. From manufacturing to product end-of-life, we have a positive impact on the environment and the people we protect. Here are some of the direct and indirect benefits of adopting sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices:
