Study Notes
HPT Detailing - Hydro-Pellent Technology
- HPT is a combination of textile-based liner and a proprietary coating technology (HydroPellent Technology)
- It's applied to various cut & sewn/seamless non-cut and cut-resistant liners
- HPT is a high-volume, general-purpose, and winter glove
- The product consists of a liner (54%) and a coating (46%)
- Manufacturing sites include Prime Safety Ltd, Pakistan
- HPT capacity is 120,000 pairs per month, with average budgeted numbers of 75,000 pairs per month in 2024
- Capacity utilization for H1 2024 is 45%-50%
- HS code for the glove is 6116.1080
Introduction to HPT
- HPT technology creates a soft, durable, flexible coating that repels liquids, providing a firm grip (wet or dry)
- The coating uses a Micro Capillary Structure developed with premium polymer paste
- It offers light weight, comfort, good abrasion resistance, grip, and dexterity, especially in oily/greasy environments
HPT Coating Features
- The HPT coating provides superior dry and wet grip compared to solid or flat coatings
- It’s comfortable and flexible, with encapsulated air molecules that offer some extent of vibration absorption
- Encapsulated pores effectively absorb and manage liquids, displace water, and enhance friction, resulting in excellent wet grip
- Cushioning reduces hand fatigue during extended wear
Test Results (HPT Regular)
- Abrasion: 3000 cycles, Level 3
- Tear: 74.95 N, Level 3
