Midas Safety is a global leading producer of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for safety and hand protection which includes cut resistant gloves and sleeves with differentiated styles and unique coatings. Midas Safety has been a key Premium Manufacturing Partner of Avient for the range of gloves and sleeves with Dyneema®, with a long history of innovation, quality and reliability. Now, sustainability and circularity is at the forefront for product development with the launch of the range of cut resistant gloves with bio-based Dyneema® fiber, from Midas Safety. 

Midas Safety produces a wide range of glove styles with Dyneema® Diamond Technology fiber, which enables the optimal balance of weight, comfort and superior cut resistance performance without any ancillary reinforcement materials. Together with Midas Safety’s unique nitriles, bi-polymer and next generation polyurethane based coatings, very unique cut resistant glove styles have been developed for the market in combination with the proven Dyneema® Diamond Technology platform. This range now comes with the option to include bio-based Dyneema® fibers which substantially reduces the overall carbon footprint of the product. It is in line with the focus of Midas Safety on sustainability and circularity.
