The PIP 15-218BKL Kut Gard Single-Ply Pritex Blousy Sleeve with Antimicrobial Fibers is an arm protection sleeve designed for applications that involve handling large objects or reach-intensive tasks. It serves as a protective layer for the forearm in environments like sheet metal fabrication, painting, canning, recycling, assembly, plastic molding, pulp and paper processing, and food processing, where arm protection and looser fit can help reduce fatigue during extended wear.
Constructed with a proprietary Pritex blend that includes antimicrobial fibers, the sleeve is silicone-free and latex-free, which helps minimize common skin irritants. The blousy (loose) fit is intended to reduce fatigue and improve comfort during periods of movement, while the antimicrobial fibers are designed to inhibit microbial growth on contact with the fabric, contributing to hygiene during repeated use. The fabric is described as having good chemical resistance to acids, alkali, and organic solvents and is stable against chlorine bleach, supporting its use in environments with cleaners or sanitizers. It is designed to withstand repeated laundering, including chlorine bleach and caustic detergents, without degradation or stiffening, and can be dry-cleaned.
The sleeve meets FDA and USDA food handling requirements and features a patented ANSI Standard 51 conformant antimicrobial fiber that is FDA and EPA approved for food contact. The antimicrobial properties are reported to persist for the life of the sleeve, providing ongoing protection against bacteria and mold that contact the fiber. It is suited for low-lint applications and does not list a specific cut level beyond ANSI A2, with a single ply construction and multiple sleeve length options. The product is manufactured in the USA, packaged in bulk, and sold in cases of 144 units. This combination of attributes supports use in regulated or sanitary environments while offering practical maintenance flexibility for industrial settings.
