Pioneering Material Tech

The M3 Matrix Glove System is able to utilize different elastomer materials, even very high viscous solvent free polyurethane components, which were never considered to be sprayable in a 3D format.

Cost Effective

M3 Matrix material cost per glove is significantly lower than synthetic polyisopreen. Lower production costs and more efficient production than traditional dipping method (subject to e.g. energy and water consumption, material price, minimized foot print, former lifetime, flexibility of product and volume production).

Comfort and efficiency

The M3 Safety Glove System provides product with a low friction surface that does not require additional coating; the M3 Matrix material has a velvet-like surface finish from the advanced properties of the M3 Matrix tech. Coupled with the M3 Safety Glove System's hypoallergenic properties user comfort is assured.

Advanced Production Technology

M3 Matrix's advanced materials technologies and techniques in our multi-component solvent-free polyurethane system outperform all conventional dipping materials. M3 Matrix has developed unique electro-dynamic spraying and mold/former construction techniques.

Green Technology

No liquids/solvents illustration

M3 Matrix technology uses no water in the production process, and no harmful additives (solvents) that impact the environment through handling, exposure, and waste. This not only reduces overall cost through management, use and handling of these resources, it improves sustainability.

Advanced Production Benefits

A further benefit of the resin type polyurethane material is the curing system eliminating any surface corrosive chemicals thus extending the lifetime of the molds/formers dramatically from 30K to 500K pairs (dipping vs. M3 spraying method). This cost-effective production method is able to rapidly produce high volumes.

Machinery for the production of M3 Matrix glove materials

3D electric field for glove thickness control

Software-Controlled Electrostatic Coating System (SCECS)consists of spraying equipment with a small footprint compared to conventional dipping methods. Required space and length for the complete production line has at least a 5X smaller footprint and a faster cycle time for glove production.Material handling is completely hermetic and the final spraying phase is executed with minimized material loss and providing an environmentally clean industrial atmosphere.Spraying speed is controlled by multiple spraying nozzles, minimizing production lead time per glove pair. M3 Matrix's spraying system is fully atomized and accurate with an inline control system. Our advanced technology competes with existing dipping lines with several features, which is gaining profitable solution for glove manufacturers.
