Cut-resistant glove material classification

Cut-resistant gloves can be divided into three types based on their material.

 

The first type is metal gloves, which are woven from small countless rings. They protect hands from cuts when using cutting machinery. Depending on the job requirements, these cut-resistant gloves can be divided into three-finger and five-finger protection types. They are primarily used in meat processing, as well as other work environments involving extreme mechanical stress and high risk of cuts. Workers who specialize in steel plate finishing and equipment & tool manufacturing wear these gloves to protect their hands and wrists, allowing for safe & reliable operation and improve processing efficiency.

 

The second type is BLADE X5™ yarn, which uses a high-strength polyethylene and glass fiber core with a new fiber outer layer. This type of yarn offers even greater cut resistance. High-strength and high-modulus polyethylene (HPPE) also is an excellent cut-resistant fiber material. It is lightweight and comfortable. Furthermore, its cut-resistant standards are far exceeding CE5 thanks to steel wire wrapping. These cut-resistant gloves have no coating on the back, so they are breathable and comfortable, providing ideal flame retardancy and cut protection. They are mainly used in automotive parts assembly, product packaging, electronic & electrical assembly, and light assembly work.

 

The third type of cut-resistant glove is primarily made of Kevlar. The fiber is naturally yellow, strong, lightweight and flexible. The BLADE X5™ yarn, with a new fiber outer layer, is lint-resistant and does not discolor in the light. It offers exceptional abrasion and cut resistance, boasting 15 times the strength of steel with the same quality. It is elastic, comfortable to wear and easy to clean. Its notable features include exceptional wear resistance, excellent elasticity, easy donning & doffing, and breathable comfort. It does not affect joint mobility of hands, prevent injuries to the palm and fingers from knives and sharp objects effectively. This type of gloves is suitable for a wider range of industries and environments, while also enhance functionality of itself, such as anti-slip, tear resistance and puncture resistance in oily environments.

 

In addition, many yarn gloves on the market lack of cut resistance and only provide basic protection for hands when work. Therefore, choosing the right glove for different work environments is crucial.
