Anti-cut gloves
Why wear cut-resistant gloves?
When it comes to manual work, the risk of cutting is constantly present whatever the work environment considered. The cut protection glove is the handling glove that protects the hands of professionals against the risk of cuts when handling sharp objects. The reflex is obviously to wear gloves that can offer a high level of protection. The technical fiber of level 4 and + gloves is thicker and is therefore less flexible than lower level gloves.
Special features of pairs of cut protection gloves level 4 and above - EN 388 standards and PPE safety -
Professional anti-cut gloves are all EN 388 certified because this standard defines protection against 4 major risks:
- abrasion,
- cutting by slicing,
- the tear,
- perforation.
An EN 388 standard work glove means that it has reached a high level of performance cut resistance tests. Cut-resistant gloves can be level 5 – or according to the new level D standard – because they offer the highest level of protection against cuts according to the EN 388 standard. The possible uses of these gloves primarily concern the handling of cutting parts.
It is suitable for the worker who needs to use a cutter, pick up glass, handle sharp metal parts, repair a tile or mount ceramics. They can also be used for various jobs because they are resistant, versatile and pleasant to wear. The automotive industry and mechanical engineering are among its fields of application.
Standardized gloves offer very good cut resistance. Some models insist on the anatomical shape that fits the hand perfectly to offer very good tactile sensitivity. They can be kept in the hands for a long time because perspiration is avoided thanks to the ventilated back of the glove.
The work glove for handling or gardening professionals, a technology that is always innovating
In most cases, cut-resistant gloves are characterized by their lightness to offer excellent dexterity. They are made of high performance fibers as they are very resistant to cuts over the whole hand.
The materials used include leather and high-density polyethylene assembled with composite fiber. Gloves with reinforced lining protect against the risk of cuts while offering you great agility.
Level 5 cut resistant gloves are sometimes equipped with protection on the back of the hand and the fingers so that shocks are absorbed and blows are deflected.
