HexArmor 1092 Helix Knit, Foam Nitrile Coated, Cut Level A1 Finger Release Gloves

ANSI Cut Level A1

ANSI A1 provides light cut resistance for tasks with minimal exposure to sharp edges. It is commonly suited for general material handling, light assembly, packaging, warehouse work, and other applications where dexterity is important and cut hazards are low.

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

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

Nylon

Nylon is an excellent choice for PPE that requires durability, flexibility, and comfort during demanding tasks. Its strong, abrasion-resistant fibers hold up well against repeated wear and friction while remaining lightweight and flexible. Nylon also provides good dexterity and freedom of movement, making it especially well suited for work gloves, protective sleeves, and other PPE used in material handling and general industrial applications.

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.
