Cut-resistant gloves: your protection against blades
Cut-resistant gloves are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) for anyone working with sharp tools or in environments at risk of cuts. These gloves are made of resistant materials such as stainless steel, Kevlar® or HPPE (high-strength polyethylene) that provide an effective barrier against blades.
Types of cut-resistant gloves
There are different types of cut-resistant gloves, each with specific features to meet different needs:
- Protection level: Cut-resistant gloves are classified from A to F according to their level of protection against cuts. Level F offers the highest protection.
- Material: Common materials include:
- Stainless Steel: Offers excellent cut protection, but can be less flexible.
- Kevlar®: Resistant to cuts and heat, but can be more expensive.
- HPPE (High Strength Polyethylene): Lightweight, flexible and cut resistant, but does not offer the same protection as Kevlar®.
- Design: Cut resistant gloves can have different designs depending on the type of work being done. Some models have extra protection on the fingers or the back of the hand.
