The ways of using anti-cut gloves are generally divided into two types: civilian and industrial. They are often used in mechanical processing plants. Due to the lack of protective devices or failure of the rotating parts of mechanical equipment, improper operation of personnel, etc., injuries such as cuts, cuts, etc. may occur. ; Burrs on the surface of metal strips and metal objects on the production line can cause cuts to the human body. Therefore, it is essential for machine tool operators to wear suitable cut-resistant gloves.
Inadequate protective measures during the maintenance process, miscooperation of personnel, failure to wear appropriate protective equipment, etc., may cause bruises, scratches, and smashes. Cutting protection is a combination of many factors, not just material construction. Therefore, when evaluating the cutting resistance of gloves, especially when you are developing a product specification, you should carefully consider all the following factors:
Material structure
(Kevlar, leather, cotton, steel, etc.) This has the greatest impact on the cutting protection of personal protective equipment. Due to its strong height, light weight and high-grade cutting resistance, DuPont Kevlar is an ideal choice for protective products with cutting resistance.
According to ASTM F1790-05, commercial glove samples are used to test the cut resistance. The ASTM F1790-05 test method and results are close to the gram weight (g/m2 or oz/yd2) of ISO 13997. The gram weight refers to the weight of the fabric per unit area. Not the entire glove weight. The higher the weight, the stronger the cutting resistance, which is due to the higher amount of material used.
Fabric structure
refers to the specific fabric structure. Include this information, such as the type of knitting or weaving, and the number of threads or needles per inch. This can affect yarn mobility and sample thickness. The thickness of the sample will affect the cutting resistance.
coating (type and weight)
Some coatings have stronger cutting resistance than others and thicker coatings can provide more material to prevent them from being cut. However, it is worth noting that in some cases, the application of the coating will slightly reduce its cutting resistance compared with the uncoated. This situation mostly occurs when thinner coatings are applied.
