TRAFFIGLOVE COMES TO
MAGELLAN’S AID TraffiGlove has been selected by Magellan Aerospace to supply its specialist safety gloves for use at its manufacturing operation in Greyabbey, Northern Ireland.
With the original gloves used by its aluminium parts engineers lasting just one week at a time, Magellan Aerospace was looking for a longer lasting solution that would provide adequate protection to its operatives.
TraffiGlove provided its TG320 Forte and TG535 Secure safety gloves, offering medium level and high-level cut protection respectively. The TG320 Forte combines excellent dexterity with high abrasion and tear resistance, for use in dry conditions, and is designed specifically for use in manufacturing and engineering situations.
SCOTT SAFETY LAUNCHES POWERED AIR RESPIRATOR FOR THE INDUSTRIAL
MARKET Scott Safety has announced the launch of the ‘Proflow 2 SC 160’– a higher flowrate powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) for the industrial market. This variant of the popular Proflow SC range of PAPR has a flow rate of 160l per minute, providing reduced respiratory burden and optimal comfort for longer working periods, particularly in warm environments.
Designed for use by workers operating in contaminated air environments, PAPRs use a motor to pass air through a filter to give a supply of clean air. Compatible with a wide range of headtops and facemasks, the product is approved to the latest EN respiratory standards and has a comprehensive choice of filters.

The Proflow 2 SC 160 covers the widest range of industrial applications, from agriculture and construction, to heavy manufacturing and oil and gas. The air respirator is intelligent and easy to use with a number of advanced refinements over the original Proflow concept.
Electronic control of the air supply ensures a comfortable airflow, automatically compensating for changes in filter resistance. On board data logging also records usage to provide workers with reliable and downloadable maintenance information.
Wearing a respirator over a period of hours can create a great physiological burden on the wearer, from the sheer weight of the kit, to the effort required to breathe. To combat this at Scott Safety, the Proflow 2 SC 160’s ergonomic design incorporates a curved backplate and lightweight battery, ensuring user comfort for long periods of use.
Mark Andrews, Global Product Manager, Powered Air, Halfmask & Airline: “It was Scott Safety’s mission
TraffiGlove’s TG535 Secure delivers a higher level of cut protection that is suitable for use in more demanding wet and dry conditions. Its foam plus coating across the palm provides excellent grip whilst its full-length cuff offers added protection.
Stephen Neeson, Quality Manager at Magellan, said: “We have 80 glove wearers requiring sufficient hand protection that not only needs to keep them safe from harm, but also offers reliability and long lasting usage.
“The TraffiGlove range was very appealing and there was a cost advantage as well. Following feedback, users have reported that the chosen gloves last two weeks and they are very comfortable and flexible– which is impressive for the higher cut protection glove. And we’ve already noticed a decrease in hand accidents which is fantastic.”

with the Proflow 2 SC 160 to develop a powered air purifying respirator that uses the highly popular Proflow product platform but with a higher flowrate, thereby minimising the physical burden on workers enabling them to concentrate on their work, not their equipment.
“The addition of this new Proflow model secures it’s position to continue serving the widest range of industrial applications protecting thousands of workers around the world.”
