Determining Levels of cut safe glove

There are a variety of fibers and fabrics used and intertwined to meet the requirements of different levels of cut resistant gloves. Every working environment has different protection needs, influencing your decision on the best food processing gloves for your business. Whether you’re slicing and dicing vegetables or sawing through thick meats, the cut safe glove you choose for your business is the single barrier preventing the possibility of serious injury.

The cut resistance of a material is determined by four factors: strength, hardness, lubricity and rolling action. A yarn that possesses more of these four characteristics will typically have a higher cut resistance than a glove that utilizes only one factor. An ANSI level is determined by how much weight is needed to cut through a given material with 25 mm of blade travel.
