Cut protection gloves
Cut-resistant gloves are essential in many industries to reliably protect hands from cuts, punctures and other mechanical risks. At the same time, they must offer a high level of comfort so that dexterity and dexterity are maintained. High-quality models enable safe working without impairing fine motor skills and are therefore essential protective equipment for numerous areas of work.
ASATEX cut protection work gloves combine state-of-the-art materials with sophisticated designs to maximise safety and protection with a high level of comfort and dexterity. They have been specially developed for professional use in industry, trade and logistics and fulfil the highest safety standards.
Cut protection gloves certified to EN 388 - safety for industry and trade
Cut injuries are among the most common work accidents, which not only cause pain and downtime, but also result in high costs for companies. The right protective equipment is therefore essential. Cut-resistant gloves in accordance with EN 388 offer reliable protection against mechanical risks and are specially developed for demanding working environments.
What does the EN 388 standard for cut-resistant gloves mean?
EN 388 specifies requirements, test methods, labelling and manufacturer information for protective gloves against mechanical risks. These include: Abrasion resistance, cut resistance for round blades, tear resistance, puncture resistance, cut resistance for straight blades and impact protection. A key criterion for straight blades is cut resistance, which is labelled with the letters A to F, and for impact protection gloves that have passed the impact protection test, the result is P. Gloves with protection class A offer basic protection for low-risk work, while protection class F offers the highest cut protection for extreme loads. In addition, abrasion resistance, tear propagation resistance and puncture resistance are rated from 0 to 4 and 0 to 5 respectively. The higher the number, the more resistant the glove is.
All test values can be read directly on the glove below the standard pictogram so that wearers can see at a glance whether they are sufficiently protected for their activity.
High-tech materials for maximum protection against cuts
The modern cut protection glove combines robust materials with a comfortable feel. One particularly high-performance material is high-performance polyethylene (HPPE), which ensures high cut resistance without making the cut-resistant gloves heavy or stiff. The tightly woven HPPE is extremely abrasion-resistant, durable and offers excellent protection for everyday use.
Other multifunctional fibres are para-aramid fibres, which are as resistant as steel but remain elastic at the same time. This supports wearer comfort. These fibres not only protect against cuts, but also against contact heat of up to 100 degrees Celsius. This makes them ideal for applications in metalworking, the glass industry or automotive production.
Our cut-resistant work gloves are deliberately free of glass, steel and basalt fibres. This means they offer optimum protection without irritating the skin or causing discomfort. An ergonomic fit ensures that they are comfortable to wear, even during long periods of work.
Grip safety, efficiency and comfort thanks to innovative coatings
In addition to pure cut resistance, a secure grip is crucial for productive work. Polyurethane (PU) provides a particularly flexible feel and high dexterity, while nitrile microfoam offers excellent breathability and ensures a secure grip even on oily or slippery surfaces.
Another advantage of our gloves is their touchscreen compatibility. In many areas of work, digital devices are used for machine control, order processing or communication. With our innovative touchscreen cut protection gloves, smartphones, tablets or industrial touchscreens can be easily operated without removing the gloves. This saves time, increases efficiency and ensures consistent protection at the same time. Our work gloves with touch function are the ideal solution, especially for companies that rely on digital processes.
Which cut protection glove is the right one?
The choice of the right glove depends on the respective working environment. In the metalworking, glass and automotive industries, models with a high cut protection class are often required to prevent injuries from sharp edges or chips. In the logistics and packaging industry, medium protection is often sufficient, as work tends to involve cardboard or plastic film.
For particularly dangerous work, such as operating chainsaws, there are special cut-resistant gloves in accordance with EN ISO 11393, which are equipped with reinforced protective pads. Employers should carry out a detailed risk analysis to ensure that the right gloves are provided for their employees.
Cut-resistant work gloves for professional use
In many industries, wearing cut-resistant gloves is not just a recommendation, but a legal requirement. Health and safety guidelines stipulate that companies must equip their employees with the appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent accidents. As a company, you benefit from our customised solutions, attractive conditions and fast delivery.
