Cut Gloves FAQ

What are cut-resistant gloves made of​?

Strong materials like Kevlar, Dyneema, HPPE (high-performance polyethylene), or stainless steel mesh are used to make cut-resistant gloves. These materials provide comfort and flexibility while shielding hands from sharp objects.

What does ANSI cut level mean?

The ANSI cut level is a rating system developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to indicate the level of cut resistance in gloves and other protective materials. It measures how well a glove can withstand cutting hazards, helping users select appropriate hand protection based on the risk level in their work environment.

The ANSI cut levels range from A1 to A9, with higher numbers representing greater cut resistance:

  • A1 to A3: Suitable for low-cut hazards, like handling small, lightweight materials.
  • A4 to A5: Mid-level cut protection for moderate risks, common in construction and general industry.
  • A6 to A9: High to extreme cut protection for heavy, sharp materials, such as glass, metal, and heavy machinery tasks.

This rating helps workers in industries like construction, manufacturing, and metalworking choose the right gloves to reduce injury risks from sharp objects.

What should you never do when you use cut-resistant gloves?

When using cut-resistant gloves, avoid using them for hazards they aren’t designed to protect against, such as punctures, impacts, or heat. They should not be used for tasks involving moving blades or heavy machinery, as they can get caught or fail to protect you from such high-risk scenarios. It's also important to ensure that the gloves fit properly, as loose gloves can reduce dexterity and lead to accidents. Never use gloves that are damaged, as they will not offer adequate protection. Additionally, avoid wearing cut-resistant gloves when wet unless they are specifically designed for wet conditions, and always clean them regularly to maintain their effectiveness. Following these guidelines will help ensure the gloves perform as intended and provide optimal hand safety.
