Lift Safety GFN-19Y Fiberwire A5 Nitrile Microfoam Glove

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

HDPE

HDPE is an excellent choice for PPE that requires a balance of protection, comfort, and dexterity. Its high-strength fibers provide reliable cut and abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for handling sharp or abrasive materials. HDPE also allows for excellent freedom of movement and dexterity, helping keep workers protected and comfortable during extended wear.

Foam Nitrile

Foam nitrile is a lightweight, flexible glove coating designed to provide excellent grip, dexterity, and abrasion resistance. Its porous surface helps channel light oils and liquids away from the gripping area, improving handling performance in dry and lightly oily conditions. Foam nitrile coated gloves are commonly used in manufacturing, assembly, automotive, warehousing, maintenance, and material handling applications where precision and secure grip are important.
