Armor Guys 00-014T 14" Gray Kyorene Sleeve, With Thumbhole, ANSI A4

ANSI Cut Level A4

ANSI A4 provides medium cut resistance for tasks involving regular exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for manufacturing, automotive assembly, sheet metal handling, construction, maintenance, and material handling applications where increased cut protection and good dexterity are 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 4

ANSI Abrasion Level 4 provides high abrasion resistance for demanding tasks involving frequent contact with rough surfaces and materials. It is commonly suited for construction, automotive manufacturing, metal handling, maintenance, material handling, and other applications where increased durability and wear resistance are needed.

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
