Pyramex Safety VGTG20B Medium-Duty Operator Glove

ANSI Cut Level A1

ANSI A1 provides light cut resistance for tasks with minimal exposure to sharp edges. It is commonly suited for general material handling, light assembly, packaging, warehouse work, and other applications where dexterity is important and cut hazards are low.

Understanding ANSI Cut Levels

ANSI/ISEA 105 cut ratings range from A1 to A9. Higher ratings indicate greater cut resistance:

A1–A2: Light cut protection

A3–A4: Light-to-medium cut protection

A5–A6: Medium-to-high cut protection

A7–A8: High cut protection

A9: Maximum cut protection

ANSI Abrasion Level 3

ANSI Abrasion Level 3 provides moderate abrasion resistance for tasks involving regular contact with rough or abrasive materials. It is commonly suited for manufacturing, construction, material handling, maintenance, automotive assembly, and other applications requiring a balance of durability, comfort, and dexterity.

Understanding ANSI Abrasion Levels

ANSI/ISEA 105 abrasion ratings measure a glove material’s ability to withstand wear caused by repeated rubbing and friction. Ratings range from Level 0 to Level 6, with higher levels indicating greater abrasion resistance and durability. Lower levels are generally suited for lighter-duty tasks, while higher levels are designed for demanding applications involving frequent contact with rough or abrasive surfaces.

ANSI Abrasion Level 0: Minimal abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 1: Light abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 2: Light-to-moderate abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 3: Moderate abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 4: High abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 5: Very high abrasion resistance

ANSI Abrasion Level 6: Maximum abrasion resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 2

ANSI Puncture Level 2 provides light-to-moderate puncture resistance for tasks involving occasional exposure to puncture hazards. It is commonly suited for material handling, maintenance, assembly, warehouse operations, and general manufacturing.

Understanding ANSI Puncture Levels

ANSI/ISEA 105 puncture ratings measure a glove material’s resistance to penetration from a standardized blunt probe. Ratings range from Level 0 to Level 5, with higher levels indicating greater puncture resistance. Lower levels are suited for lighter-duty applications, while higher levels provide increased protection for demanding tasks involving materials or objects that may puncture the glove.

ANSI Puncture Level 0: Minimal puncture resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 1: Light puncture resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 2: Light-to-moderate puncture resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 3: Moderate puncture resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 4: High puncture resistance

ANSI Puncture Level 5: Maximum puncture resistance

Synthetic Leather

Synthetic leather is a durable, flexible alternative to natural leather that provides dependable abrasion resistance, grip, and comfort without unnecessary bulk. Its consistent construction helps maintain flexibility through repeated use and can offer easier care than traditional leather, making it a strong choice for work gloves and other PPE where durability, dexterity, and reliable everyday performance are important.

Touchscreen-compatible gloves are designed to allow users to operate smartphones, tablets, scanners, touch displays, and other capacitive touchscreen devices without removing their gloves. Conductive materials incorporated into the fingertips or glove construction transfer the electrical properties needed for the screen to recognize touch. Touchscreen compatibility can help improve productivity and convenience in workplaces where employees frequently use digital devices while maintaining hand protection.
