MCR Safety PD6952 Predator Mechanics Work Gloves Hi-Visibility Impact Resistant Bi-Polymer Coated ANSI A7 Work Gloves

ANSI Cut Level A7

ANSI A7 provides very high cut resistance for demanding tasks involving frequent exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for heavy metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive manufacturing, recycling, construction, and other high-risk applications where advanced 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 5

ANSI Abrasion Level 5 provides very high abrasion resistance for demanding tasks involving frequent friction and exposure to rough or abrasive materials. It is commonly suited for heavy manufacturing, construction, metal fabrication, automotive applications, material handling, and other environments where extended glove durability is important.

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 Impact Level 2

ANSI Impact Level 2 provides intermediate impact protection, offering greater resistance to impact forces than Level 1. These gloves balance back-of-hand protection with flexibility and dexterity, making them suitable for more demanding industrial environments where impact hazards occur regularly.

Best For: Construction, manufacturing, material handling, automotive, equipment operation, maintenance, and general industrial work.

Understanding ANSI Impact Levels

ANSI/ISEA 138 impact levels indicate how well a work glove protects the back of the hand and fingers from impact forces. Gloves are tested by measuring how much force is transmitted through their impact-protection materials, such as TPR or other protective padding. Ratings range from Level 1 to Level 3, with a higher level indicating greater impact protection.

ANSI Impact Level 1: Level 1 offers basic impact protection. Designed for lighter impact hazards where flexibility and dexterity are priorities.

ANSI Impact Level 2: Level 2 offers enhanced impact protection. Provides increased impact protection for more demanding industrial applications.

ANSI Impact Level 3: Level 3 offers the highest impact protection. Provides the highest level of impact protection under ANSI/ISEA 138 for severe impact hazards.

HyperMax

HyperMax is a high-performance fiber technology designed to deliver enhanced cut resistance while maintaining the flexibility, comfort, and dexterity needed for demanding work. Its lightweight, high-strength construction helps protect hands from sharp edges and abrasive materials without excessive bulk, making HyperMax® a strong choice for cut-resistant gloves used in manufacturing, metal handling, assembly, construction, and other applications where dependable protection and precise hand movement are important.
