The PIP 10-KAM18 Kut Gard AR/FR Single-Ply ACP / Kevlar Blended Sleeve with Thumb Hole 18" is a protective arm sleeve designed for high-heat, cut-resistant, and arc-resistant applications. This sleeve blends ACP (aromatic polyamide) with Kevlar to deliver enhanced abrasion resistance and heat attenuation, offering a notable improvement in cut protection and heat tolerance for workers who handle sheet metal, stamping, automotive manufacturing, and plastic molding tasks. The included thumb hole design extends protection down to the knuckle while preserving dexterity, which helps maintain grip and precision in demanding tasks.
Constructed as a single-ply sleeve with a yellow color and an ACP lining, the Kut Gard sleeve achieves a balance of comfort and fit that allows it to be worn over clothing or directly on the arm. The product’s material composition and construction are intended to provide protection against heat and flashes of electric arc, alongside resistance to abrasion and shrinkage that can occur with repeated use and exposure to challenging environments. The result is a sleeve suitable for long shifts and variable workloads where both cut resistance and heat exposure are considerations.
Ideal use scenarios include sheet metal work, stamping, glass handling, and automotive manufacturing, where workers may encounter sharp edges, hot surfaces, and occasional arc-related hazards. This sleeve is specified as ANSI cut level A5, with a thumb-hole option for enhanced coverage. Packaging is listed as individual units, with a case quantity of 144 per case. When selecting sizes, ensure the 18" length provides the needed reach to the forearm and knuckle area for your applications, and consider whether to wear over clothing or directly on the skin depending on personal comfort and hygiene practices.
