Radians RWG561 18 Ga Gray HPPE W/Black Pu, Cut Resistant Glove, A2

ANSI Cut Level A2

ANSI A2 provides light cut resistance for tasks with limited exposure to sharp edges. It is commonly suited for general material handling, assembly, packaging, warehouse operations, maintenance, and other applications where light 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

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.

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.
