Pyramex Safety GL617 Micro-Foam Nitrile Gloves

ANSI Puncture Level 2

ANSI Puncture Level 2 provides light-to-moderate puncture resistance for tasks involving occasional exposure to puncture hazards. It is commonly suited for material handling, maintenance, assembly, warehouse operations, and general manufacturing.

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

Para-Aramid

Para-aramid is a high-performance fiber designed for PPE that requires exceptional strength, cut resistance, abrasion resistance, and heat protection without excessive weight. Its lightweight yet extremely strong construction helps protect against sharp edges and demanding workplace hazards while maintaining flexibility and dexterity, making para-aramid an excellent choice for cut-resistant gloves, sleeves, and other protective equipment used in metal handling, glass handling, manufacturing, and high-heat applications.

Nitrile

Nitrile is a durable glove coating that provides excellent abrasion and puncture resistance along with reliable grip in dry and oily conditions. It also offers resistance to many oils, greases, and common workplace chemicals while maintaining good flexibility and dexterity. Nitrile coated gloves are commonly used in manufacturing, automotive, maintenance, assembly, warehousing, and material handling applications where durability and dependable hand protection are important.
