Buy cut-resistant gloves - for safe protection at work

Cut-resistant gloves are an important component of personal protective equipment (PPE). They offer protection against injuries caused by sharp or pointed tools such as knives, blades and sharp-edged objects in many industries and fields of activity. These gloves are particularly indispensable in professions where dangerous cutting tools are regularly used.

Our cut-resistant work gloves are specially designed to offer you a secure grip and comprehensive protection when working with sharp-edged materials. Whether in metalworking, construction or logistics, these flexible, cut-resistant gloves offer reliable protection. Furthermore, some models can be equipped with additional features such as heat protection or protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The cut resistance of gloves is determined by two important test methods:

• Coupe test (EN 388): The resistance of the material to a rotating blade is measured here. The test indicates how many cycles the material can withstand before it is cut through.
• TDM test (ISO 13997): This test measures the force required to cut through the material with a straight blade. It is considered more accurate for materials with high cut resistance as a new blade is used for each test.

Schnittschutzhandschuhe bestehen aus verschiedenen hochwertigen, zertifizierten Materialien, die einen optimalen Schutz bieten. Gängige Materialien sind:

• Stahlfaser: Besonders robust und schnittfest.
• Nylon und Elasthan: Sorgt für Flexibilität und ein angenehmes Tragegefühl.
• Glasfaser: Verleiht den Handschuhen zusätzliche Stabilität.
• HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene): Ein leichtes, aber extrem schnittfestes Material, das eine hohe Zugfestigkeit bietet und in anspruchsvollen Arbeitsumgebungen eingesetzt wird.

Die Beschichtungen bestehen in der Regel aus Nitril, Polyurethan (PU) oder Latex, um einen sicheren Griff zu gewährleisten. Zudem können spezielle Unterarmschützer den Schutz erweitern, um auch den Unterarm vor Verletzungen zu schützen.

Our cut protection gloves fulfil various standards, which vary depending on the model:

• EN 388: Protection against mechanical risks (e.g. abrasion, cuts, tearing and punctures).
• EN 407: Protection against thermal risks (e.g. heat and flames).
• EN 16350: Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The gloves are also classified in cut protection categories from CUT B to CUT F, depending on the level of performance and protection against cuts.

The following table shows the different classes of cut protection gloves according to the EN 388 standard. These protection classes assess the performance of the gloves in four key areas: Abrasion resistance, cut resistance (coupe test), tear propagation resistance and puncture resistance. The individual levels indicate how well the glove protects against mechanical hazards and are particularly important when choosing the right protective gloves for different working environments.

This table provides an overview of the new cut protection standard in accordance with PPE Regulation 2016 / 425, which integrates the TDM test (ISO 13997). This test assesses the cut resistance based on the force required to cut through the material with a straight blade. The Newton values (N) indicate the force in Newtons that must be applied to cut through the glove material.
