Cut-Resistant Gloves
Cut-Resistant Gloves protect the hands against metal edges, glass, knives, and manufacturing blades. They are classified under ANSI/ISEA 105 from A1 to A9, and under EN 388 by a Coup test level of 1–5 or an ISO 13997 level of A–F; the two systems differ and do not convert directly. They vary in liner fiber (HPPE, glass fiber, stainless steel, Kevlar) and cut level, serving metal fabrication, glass industry, and blade handling.

About this category
Cut resistance is measured in two frameworks. ANSI/ISEA 105 uses the TDM-100 test that measures the load required to cut the liner with a straight blade drawn across the sample, with grades from A1 (200-499 g) to A9 (6000+ g). EN 388 reports results in this order: abrasion, Coup cut, tear, puncture, then the ISO 13997 cut letter (A-F), then P when the impact test is passed. Liner material drives the level: HPPE (high-performance polyethylene) for mid levels A2-A5, glass fiber or stainless-steel core raised to A6-A9, and Kevlar (aramid) for combined heat and cut protection. Palm coating varies: nitrile for general grip, PU for precision, latex for wet grip, and micro-foam for oily surface grip. Applications include metal fabrication and sheet forming, glass and ceramic manufacture, food processing (meat cutting), handling of sharp wires and cables, and machine-blade servicing. A technical note: cut resistance does not imply puncture or tear resistance — those are separate EN 388 measurements (tear E, puncture F). Selection considers the right level (higher than needed sacrifices dexterity and feel) and the right coating for the surface.
