Knowledge about Cut-Resistant Gloves

For some industries, cut-resistant gloves are useful and necessary personal protective equipments. Because cut-resistant gloves are not only lightweight but also have excellent cut-resistant properties, they can help users reduce or block many types of cut, such as sharp blades and mechanical cuts, protecting users' hands safety. However, there are many types of work gloves/safety gloves on the market, do you know anything about cut-resistant gloves? Gaomi Goodal Protective Products will briefly explain some relevant knowledge about cut-resistant gloves.

 

Performance of Cut-Resistant Gloves:

 

------Cut-resistant, puncture-resistant, slip-resistant and abrasion-resistant

 

------Possesses superior cut resistance, abrasion resistance, and puncture resistance

 

------Effectively protects hands from cuts by knives and other sharp blades

 

------Excellent slip resistance prevents objects from slipping when grasping them. 

 

Materials of Cut-Resistant Gloves:

 

Kevlar (Aramid). Aramid is an aromatic polyamide product with natural yellow color, it`s strong, lightweight and flexible, five times stronger than steel of the same weight. It is flame-retardant and will not melt at high temperatures, making it suitable for users who work in high-temperature environments, such as metal smelting, industrial welding and glass processing.

 

Dyneema/Spectra (high-strength polyethylene fiber). It is tough and lightweight, with good fit, good abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and high strength, which is more than ten times the length of steel wire of the same cross-section. It is widely used in high-intensity industries, such as metal processing, vehicle assembly and stamping operations.

 

Steel wire and polyester fiber. Steel wire gloves offer high cut resistance and are suitable for handling bladed tools operated by manually. They are not only applied in the food processing industry, but also are used to protect against animal bites.
