Ansell Cut Resistant Gloves

Cut resistant gloves are essential in many industries, such as construction, warehousing, food preparation, metalwork and manufacturing. They are designed to reduce the risk of cuts, lacerations and sharp edge injuries when handling blades, tools, machinery or sharp materials. Cut resistance is measured under the EN 388 standard, which tests how much pressure or force a glove can withstand before being cut.

Most of our cut resistant gloves are made from high performance fibres like HPPE, Kevlar®, and Dyneema® and use a combination of steel or glass fibre blends to protect against higher cut levels. These materials help the glove resist slicing while still allowing movement, which is essential. We have a wide range of protective gloves available, but if you cannot find what you are looking for, our friendly team is here to help.
