What the AI looks for in Cut Resistant Gloves
- Cut level
- Use ANSI/ISEA 105 A1 to A9, or the EN 388 ISO 13997 letter A to F. Around A4 or higher suits sheet metal and glass. These levels come from comparable blade tests. Words like 'cut-proof' mean nothing.
- Coating
- Nitrile or PU palm for grip on oily or smooth parts. Leave uncoated for food use. Slipping edges cause cuts even through rated gloves.
- Puncture
- Check the separate puncture rating if points or wire are present. Cut fibers resist slicing, not piercing.
Brands that matter
- Ansell: HyFlex cut styles.
- Superior Glove: Cut-resistant specialist.
- PIP: G-Tek cut-resistant range.
- MCR Safety: Cut-rated coated knits.
What to avoid
- Gloves claiming cut resistance with no ANSI or EN level
- Cut gloves near rotating blades or saws
