On November 6, 2019, DuPont's Personal Protection Department announced the launch of the Kevlar® and Tychem® glove series of hand protection products in China. At the China International Import Expo in Shanghai on November 6, 2019, Rose Lee, President of DuPont Safety and Construction Division and Qi Min, Commercial Director of DuPont China Personal Protection, unveiled the product portfolio at the DuPont booth.
The hand is one of the most important parts of the human body and can perform various delicate operations, so it is more vulnerable to injury. Whether working in the manufacturing industry or operating an oil rig, hand safety is always an important issue. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics research shows that 20% of work-related accidents are related to hands, 70% of work-related accidents are due to not wearing any protective gloves, and 30% of work-related accidents are due to wearing the wrong gloves. Due to the lack of mandatory regulations, the utilization rate of functional personal protective equipment has been very low, and hand safety accidents have occurred frequently in various manufacturing plants.
DuPont is committed to reducing injuries by developing innovative hand protection solutions that have passed the latest global regulations and standards testing. DuPont conducts comprehensive tests on related products in many different hazardous environments and focuses on maintaining high comfort and protective performance of the products throughout the work process. In China, DuPont's hand mechanical injury protection product portfolio meets the performance requirements of the national standard GB24541. At the same time, DuPont is also actively promoting the national standard GB24541 to move closer to the latest international standards, and will continue to launch products that meet the needs of the Chinese market.
