Cut-resistant gloves are constructed with dense, strong materials designed to withstand the force of cutting or slashing actions.
Materials:
They are commonly made with fibers such as high-modulus polyethylene (HPPE) or aramids, often combined with metallic materials.
Construction:
The high-density structure and specific materials of the glove work together to resist cutting and prevent injuries to the user's hands and fingers.
Choosing the Right Glove
When selecting cut-resistant gloves, consider these factors:
Protection Level:
Check the EN 388 or ANSI/ISEA 105 rating. Higher numbers mean greater protection.
Intended Use:
Different tasks require different protection levels. For example, food processing requires gloves to handle sharp blades, while construction involves handling sharp materials like metal and wood.
