Portwest A745 Impact Pro Cut Glove Grey

ANSI Cut Level A6

ANSI A6 provides high cut resistance for tasks involving significant exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive manufacturing, heavy assembly, construction, and other demanding applications where a higher level of 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 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.
