ANSI Cut Level A3

ANSI A3 provides light-to-medium cut resistance for tasks involving moderate exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for general manufacturing, material handling, assembly, construction, maintenance, and other applications where a balance of cut protection, comfort, and dexterity is 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

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 3

ANSI Puncture Level 3 provides moderate puncture resistance for tasks involving regular exposure to puncture hazards. It is commonly suited for manufacturing, construction, maintenance, material handling, and other applications requiring increased protection and durability.

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

Polyurethane

Polyurethane (PU) is a thin, lightweight glove coating designed to provide excellent dexterity, tactile sensitivity, and abrasion resistance. Its low-profile surface allows for precise handling of small parts while providing a secure grip in dry and lightly oily conditions. Polyurethane coated gloves are commonly used in assembly, electronics, automotive, manufacturing, inspection, warehousing, and other applications requiring precision and hand mobility.
