Seamless Knit DuPont Kevlar/Elastane Glove
Used for material handling, glass handling operations, fishing industries, sanitation, general maintenance, woodworking and waste handling & recycling.
Features
- Seamless knit construction provides comfort without sacrificing dexterity
- Kevlar and Elastane fiber shell provides high tensile strength relative to its weight, is inherently cut resistant and will not melt, ignite or conduct electricity
- Polyurethane coatings take on the surface properties of the glove liner providing a tactile grip in dry and slightly oily conditions, ideal for applications that require dexterity for precise handling
- Knit Wrist helps prevent dirt and debris from entering the glove
- Color coded hems for easy size identification
- Launderable for extended life and to reduce replacement costs
- This style is also available tri-folded and shrink-wrapped for carefree dispensing through vending machines (09-K1250V)
Applications
- Thin Coating, Good Grip for High Dexterity Handling
- Maintenance and Repair Operations
- Handling, Assembly and Sorting of Small to Medium Parts and Materials
- Shipping, Receiving and Packaging
Testing Standards
ANSI Cut Level: A2
Test Method: ASTM F2992-15
The new edition of the ANSI/ISEA 105 Standard (2016 ed.) also outlines a new test method for determining the new cut scores. The new ASTM F2992-15 test method allows for only one type of machine to be used, the TDM-100. Under the previous ANSI standard, the old test method ASTM F1790-05, the testing could be performed on either the TDM-100 machine or the CPPT machine. By ensuring uniform testing with one machine, it is easier to compare gram scores for a given material.
ANSI Abrasion Level: 3
Test Method: ASTM D3389-10
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standard outlines test methods for abrasion and is scored from 0-6. The ASTM D3389-10 is used for uncoated gloves and the end point (failure) is the number of abrasion cycles when the first thread or yarn is broken. The larger numbers of cycles indicates greater abrasion resistance of the product and a higher ANSI Abrasion Level.
ANSI Puncture Level: 2
Test Method: ASTM F1342
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 blunt force puncture testing uses a probe to simulate a tear or burst hazard. The test measures the amount of force needed for a blunt probe to pierce through PPE material. Results are given in Newtons, which is converted into a 1-5 scale and spans from 10 newtons (Level 1) to 150+ newtons (Level 5) of puncture resistance.
EN 388 2016 Results: 4231BX
- Abrasion: 4
- Cut (Coupe Test): 2
- Tear: 3
- Puncture: 1
- Cut (TDM-100 Test): B
- Impact Protection: X
EN 388 is a European Standard. Cut Level is determined by the number of cycles it takes a spinning circular blade, that is pulled across the material under a constant weight of 500 grams, to cut the fabric. As the number of cycles increase, so does the glove's ratings.
