Cut Resistant Work Gloves

Cuts and lacerations are two of the most common injuries suffered on jobsites. Work environments with hazards like sharpened tools or edges require durable hand protection provided by a trusted pair of cut resistant work gloves. No matter your application, cut resistant gloves can be the difference between a bad day at work and a life-changing injury.

What Makes a Glove Cut Resistant?

Cut resistant gloves are typically made with yarn that has an inner core bound by an outer wrap. The core can be made of fiberglass, steel, basalt, or a blend of the three to increase cut resistance levels. The outer wrap is typically made of a cut resistant material like high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) or aramid, with an added filler such as nylon, spandex, or polyester for flexibility. New cut resistant gloves are made with coreless materials for lightweight comfort as well as soft and comfortable materials that achieve the highest levels of cut resistance, too.

How Do Cut Resistance Levels Differ?

The amount of pressure needed to break through the material determines the amount of protection the material provides. The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Cut Resistance Standard removes the guesswork from determining if a work glove provides the necessary protection you or your workers need through a rating system of nine cut resistance levels. Ranging from A1 to A9, protection levels are applied to tested work gloves used in a variety of applications.

ANSI Cut Level	Weight (in Grams) Needed to Cut Through Materials	Guidelines for Typical Applications
Level A1	Between 200-499 grams of force	Assembly, Maintenance, Material Handling, and Shipping & Receiving
Level A2	Between 500-999 grams of force	Assembly, Appliance Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Maintenance, Material Handling, and Metal Handling
Level A3	Between 1,000-1,499 grams of force	Assembly, Appliance Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Maintenance, Material Handling, and Metal Handling
Level A4	Between 1,500-2,199 grams of force	Appliance Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Glass Handling, Machining, Metal Handling & Stamping
Level A5	Between 2,200-2,999 grams of force	Appliance Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Glass Handling, Machining, Metal Handling & Stamping
Level A6	Between 3,000-3,999 grams of force	Appliance Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Glass Handling, Machining, Metal Handling & Stamping, and Paper Production
Level A7	Between 4,000-4,999 grams of force	Automotive, Manufacturing, Metal Fabrication, Household Appliance Assembly, Aerospace Manufacturing, and Glass Fabrication
Level A8	Between 5,000-5,999 grams of force	Automotive, Manufacturing, Metal Fabrication, Household Appliance Assembly, Aerospace Manufacturing, and Glass Fabrication
Level A9	6,000+ grams of force	Automotive, Manufacturing, Metal Fabrication, Household Appliance Assembly, Aerospace Manufacturing, and Glass Fabrication

How are Cut Resistance Levels Tested?

When developing new PPE, we think about what our own workers need to do their jobs safely and efficiently. We also reach out to safety managers to talk about compliance and learn more about industry- and environment-specific hazards, applications, and solutions. After compiling this information and manufacturing our products, we test our cut resistant work gloves based on ANSI cut resistance rating requirements:

In accordance with ASTM F2992, a carefully calibrated machine drags a sharp blade over the glove material with a specific amount of pressure
We verify these results by sending the material to an accredited, third-party lab to replicate and validate the results from an independent, outside source
Finally, we edge-test the material across hazardous objects in real-world facilities. This is so we can confidently know the material can handle serious contact with sharp edges.

Additional Features of Cut Resistant Work Gloves

In addition to cut resistance, many of these work gloves come with specific features to benefit workers in different industries. These can include:

Breathable cut resistant materials that make your hands feel cooler and more comfortable on the job
Palm coatings like polyurethane or nitrile that provide additional tactile sensitivity or strengthened grip in oily environments, respectively
Impact protection like thermoplastic rubber (TPR) on the back of the hand and fingers for work areas with bump, pinch, or crush hazards
Hi-vis colors to make sure you can easily see workers are wearing their PPE and they can see where their hands are in low-light environments

Cut Resistant Work Gloves from Magid

D-ROC® Gloves

Magid’s D-ROC work gloves are made with knit, HPPE fibers to reduce glove weight while improving cut and abrasion resistance. For many D-ROC gloves, we add a polyurethane palm coating to enhance your grip and dexterity, even in light oil conditions.

Some of our stand-out and award-winning D-ROC work glove technologies include:

DX+ Technology®, made with advanced coreless technology for a greater level of cut protection in a non-irritating shell
AeroDex®, which enhances dexterity, makes your skin feel cooler, and weighs 50% less than other cut resistant materials of the same cut level
21G Technology, made with an ultra-thin, 21-gauge construction for revolutionary bare-hand dexterity and radical comfort

T-REX® Gloves

While our T-REX gloves provide superior levels of impact protection, their comfortable, lightweight glove shells can also give you the cut resistance you need for the job. Our line of T-REX work gloves with cut resistance includes:

The T-REX Flex Series®, which provides a softer, more comfortable feel with lower-profile impact protection
The T-REX Inferno Series®, designed for greater flame and puncture resistance
The T-REX Arctic Series®, which has a fleece liner for additional warmth
The T-REX Rebel Series®, which offers a greater degree of impact protection, durability, and abrasion resistance

There are hundreds of options to choose from. Find lightweight as well as heavy-duty work gloves from Magid to get additional protection for cuts, lacerations, and scratches caused by workplace hazards!
