Visualise static safety

GripHero is proud to offer the world's only ATEX-Certified anti-static hand-protection that can inhibit the build-up of static energy and reduce the potential for static discharge between the individual and petrol station equipment.
See the visual and dramatic video demonstration of static energy transferring through disposable gloves, bags and even paper towel. Did you know... for petrol stations to comply with their ATEX Directives, 'Group 1' and 'Group 2' equipment (which includes equipment supplied and used within the fuelling zone) must be designed to avoid becoming electrostatically charged and avoid ignition due to electrostatic discharges. |

GripHero's highly specialist construction offers two anti-static functions enabling petrol stations to comply with their ATEX Directives over traditional 'gloves' or paper towel:
1) The GripHero protector material can itself avoid the build-up and generation of static energy
2) The GripHero protector material can inhibit the transfer of static energy between the person and petrol station equipment
This makes GripHero the world's only ATEX-Certified hand-protection approved for use in potentially explosive areas (including the fuelling zone within petrol stations).
GripHero can also reduce the need for expensive and unhygienic 'static-discharge pads' on petrol stations.

Have you ever felt the hair on the back of your hands stand on end while using standard forecourt hand-protection?
This video visually demonstrates the levels of static-electricity inherent on standard hand-protection. GripHero's Anti-Static hand-protectors are certified to the stringent ATEX-Directives, meaning they are safe to use on forecourts and other potentially explosive areas... Protection for drivers, the forecourt and the nearby public. Should static-safety be compulsory? |

Did you know...
For a material to be considered Anti-Static it must have a surface resistance of less than 1 trillion Ohms. To be ATEX-approved for use in potentially explosive areas, such as petrol forecourts, the surface resistance must be less than 1 billion Ohms. All of GripHero's multi-award-winning hand-protectors have a world-class-leading surface resistance of only 1 million Ohms. Standard non-anti-static hand-protection commonly seen on forecourts will have a surface resistance typically greater than 1,000 trillion Ohms (the surface resistance meter shown in the video only goes up to 1 trillion Ohms, and so measures '0' for standard hand-protection). This means they have the potential to generate, store and discharge enough static energy to ignite petroleum vapours. Is your petrol station protecting customers, or risking customer safety? |

This is why we do what we do.
Studies show fuel nozzles are the number 1 most contaminated public surface and 11,000 dirtier than toilet seats - it's easy to see why in this video.
Everyone should be protecting themselves, their children, friends and family by simply wearing a glove at the pumps.
Prevent rather than attempt to cure, it's that simple and that effective.
Please remember... it's not just that fuel nozzles are highly contaminated with:
...Importantly, it's the dangerous cocktail of all of the above, which you grip tightly for several minutes with the entire surface of the hands and fingers.

Please remember... it's not just that fuel nozzles are highly contaminated with:
- Notifiable diseases (including pneumonia, meningitis, flu, monkeypox, smallpox, measles, salmonella, e-coli, COVID and many others)
- 'Group 1' human carcinogens (easily absorbed through the skin)
- Dangerous and harmful chemicals and solvents (easily absorbed through the skin)
...Importantly, it's the dangerous cocktail of all of the above, which you grip tightly for several minutes with the entire surface of the hands and fingers.

GripHero reduces the often-seen unnecessary wastage by making it easy to retrieve one Anti-Static eco-friendly glove at a time - eliminating dispenser waste and leading to a far more efficient usage of gloves. All while giving the easy option to those who would like to keep their hands clean.
