ANSI Cut Level A5

ANSI A5 provides medium-to-high cut resistance for tasks involving frequent exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and other demanding applications where increased cut protection is required.

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 5

ANSI Puncture Level 5 provides the highest level of general puncture resistance within the ANSI/ISEA 105 puncture rating scale. It is designed for demanding applications involving significant puncture hazards, including heavy manufacturing, construction, metal handling, recycling, and other high-risk environments.

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

ANSI Contact Heat Level 2

ANSI Contact Heat Level 2 provides contact heat protection at temperatures up to 284°F (140°C). It is suited for applications involving brief handling of hot parts, equipment, and materials where increased thermal protection is needed.

Understanding ANSI Contact Heat Levels

ANSI/ISEA 105 contact heat ratings indicate a glove’s ability to provide thermal protection when handling hot objects. Ratings range from Level 0 to Level 5, with higher levels indicating protection at higher contact temperatures. The appropriate level should be selected based on the temperature, duration of contact, and specific hazards of the application.

ANSI Contact Heat Level 0: Below Level 1 performance

ANSI Contact Heat Level 1: Up to 176°F (80°C)

ANSI Contact Heat Level 2: Up to 284°F (140°C)

ANSI Contact Heat Level 3: Up to 392°F (200°C)

ANSI Contact Heat Level 4: Up to 500°F (260°C)

ANSI Contact Heat Level 5: Up to 608°F (320°C)

Air-Urea

Air-Urea is a lightweight, breathable glove coating designed to provide a balance of grip, flexibility, and dexterity. Its porous structure helps promote airflow to the hand while maintaining a secure gripping surface, making it well suited for applications involving frequent handling and extended wear. Air-Urea coated gloves are commonly used for general material handling, assembly, manufacturing, and other tasks where comfort, tactile sensitivity, and dependable grip 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.
