Cut safety gloves, also known as cut-resistant gloves, are specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the hands from cuts, lacerations, and abrasions while performing tasks that involve sharp objects or materials.
Features
:
- Cut Resistance Levels: Rated according to standards such as ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388, which classify gloves based on their ability to withstand cuts. Higher ratings indicate better protection.
- Material Composition: Made from high-performance fibers like Kevlar, Dyneema, or steel wire, which provide excellent cut resistance.
- Comfort and Fit: Ergonomically designed for a snug fit, allowing for dexterity and comfort during use. Available in various sizes to accommodate different hand sizes.
- Grip and Dexterity: Textured surfaces on the palms and fingers improve grip, making it easier to handle tools and materials. Flexible designs allow for a good range of motion.
- Cuff Styles: Different cuff styles (e.g., knit wrist, gauntlet) provide varying levels of wrist protection and comfort.
- Breathability: Some gloves incorporate breathable materials to reduce sweat and improve comfort during extended wear.
- Durability:Reinforced seams and high-quality materials enhance the longevity of the gloves, making them suitable for heavy-duty use.
- Water and Chemical Resistance: Some cut safety gloves are designed to be water-resistant or provide protection against specific chemicals.
