Cut, Oil, and Abrasion-Resistant Gloves: Detailed Breakdown

This description highlights gloves designed for a triple threat: cuts, oil, and abrasion resistance, while offering good grip and comfort. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and benefits:

Protection:

Cut Resistance: The description mentions “two levels of cut performance,” but the specific levels aren’t provided. This could be a valuable feature for tasks with varying cut hazards. Look for cut resistance ratings based on relevant standards (e.g., EN 388) to ensure adequate protection.

Abrasion Resistance: The palm PU (polyurethane) coating suggests good protection against wear and tear from rough surfaces.

Oil Resistance: PU coating offers some oil protection, but the level might vary depending on the specific PU formulation.

Dexterity and Comfort:

Seamless Liner and Knitted Wrist: This design aims to provide a comfortable fit with good flexibility for finger movement.

Grip:

Good Grip in Dry Conditions: PU coating offers good grip, but it might decrease in wet environments.

Applications:

These gloves could be suitable for various tasks requiring a combination of protections:

Multi-Hazard Environments: Construction, mechanics, metalworking, or other tasks involving cuts, oils, and abrasive materials.

Dexterity: Tasks requiring good finger movement and control, like using tools or assembling parts.

• Optimized durability: EDGE® 48-701 industrial gloves’ palm PU coating provides a high level of abrasion protection (ANSI 6), moderate cut resistance (ANSI A2), a good grip in dry environments, and better protection against oil than knitted or cut and sewn safety work gloves
• Increased protection: EDGE 48-701 protective gloves provide two levels of cut performance, affording robust, all-round hand protection in mediumweight applications
• Enhanced features: A more affordable alternative to medium-duty leather, thick cotton or aramid gloves, EDGE® 48-701 high-quality work gloves offer a seamless liner and knitted wrist, which deliver form-fitting comfort, good dexterity and added wrist protection
