Pyramex Safety GL606DPC Micro-Foam Nitrile with Dotted Palms, Cut Level A3 Gloves

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

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.

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.
