PIP 15-21PRIBPS18-ET Kut Gard Single-Ply Pritex Blended Sleeve with Antimicrobial Fibers, Smart-Fit and Elastic Thumb

PIP 15-21PRIBPS18-ET Kut Gard Single-Ply Pritex Blended Sleeve with Antimicrobial Fibers, Smart-Fit and Elastic Thumb is a cut-protection sleeve designed for arm protection during tasks such as sheet metal fabrication, painting, canning, recycling, assembly, plastic molding, and related processing work. The sleeve emphasizes a single-ply construction using Pritex blended fibers and incorporates antimicrobial fibers that are FDA and EPA approved for food contact, with a patent-conformant ANSI Standard 51 antimicrobial feature. Smart-Fit technology enables a consistent size approach that accommodates workers with different arm sizes, offering a form-fitting profile intended for all-day wear. The blend is described as Lycra-free, prioritizing stretch and recovery through proprietary knitting, and the fabric is silicone and latex free to minimize skin irritation potential. The product is designed to withstand repeated washings in chlorine bleach and caustic detergents, which supports long-term use in environments with harsh cleaning protocols. It is offered in a black color option and is manufactured in the USA, packaged as a bulk pack with a case quantity of 144 sleeves, and is suitable for use in settings that require single-layer protective sleeves that meet certain ANSI cut level A2 requirements.

These sleeves are intended for non-heat and non-open-flame environments, aligning with safety practices that distinguish cut-resistance needs from heat or flame exposure. The antimicrobial properties are stated to inhibit growth of bacteria and mold contacting the fiber by up to 99.9% and to last the life of the sleeve, which may contribute to hygiene in food handling and other clean environments. Practical considerations include selecting a sleeve length from the listed range and ensuring correct sizing through Smart-Fit design to avoid gaps or discomfort during movement.

Why these details matter: the combination of ANSI A2 cut rating, antimicrobial fiber, and washability in harsh cleaners informs expectations about protection level, hygiene, and maintenance. The single-ply Pritex blend and Smart-Fit construction influence comfort, durability, and potential abrasion resistance in demanding tasks. These factors help buyers determine fit, reuse potential, and appropriate applications while adhering to the documented specifications.
