HexArmor 2068X Helix HPPE Nylon Shell Polyurethane Palm Dip, Cut Level A2 Gloves

ANSI Cut Level A2

ANSI A2 provides light cut resistance for tasks with limited exposure to sharp edges. It is commonly suited for general material handling, assembly, packaging, warehouse operations, maintenance, and other applications where light cut protection and good dexterity are needed.

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

HPPE

HPPE is an excellent choice for PPE that requires high levels of cut protection without sacrificing comfort or dexterity. Its high-strength, lightweight fibers provide excellent resistance to cuts and abrasion while remaining flexible and comfortable for extended wear. HPPE is especially well suited for cut-resistant gloves and sleeves used in manufacturing, metal handling, glass handling, assembly, and other applications where workers need dependable protection while maintaining precise hand movement.

Nylon

Nylon is a lightweight, flexible synthetic material that provides good abrasion resistance, dexterity, and durability. When used on gloves, it helps maintain tactile sensitivity and comfortable hand movement while providing a smooth surface for handling parts and materials. Nylon is commonly used in assembly, inspection, manufacturing, warehousing, packaging, and other light-duty applications requiring precision and flexibility.
