What Makes HANVO Cut-Resistant Gloves Truly Protective

01

Material Innovation

High-Performance Fibers for Superior Cut Protection:

Kevlar: This aramid fiber is extremely strong and cut-resistant, widely used in our glove products. Dyneema: This high-performance polyethylene fiber is known for its excellent cut resistance and light weight, making it a primary material in many Hanvo gloves.

HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene): This fiber combines high strength and cut resistance, ensuring the gloves are both robust and comfortable.

Composite Yarns for Balanced Protection:

By blending different fibers, composite yarns are created that enhance cut resistance and durability. This innovative approach ensures the gloves offer protection, comfort, and flexibility.

02

Technological Advancements

Technological Advancements:

Seamless Knitting: Ensures a comfortable fit, eliminates seams that could cause irritation, and allows for variable knitting density, providing extra protection where needed without compromising flexibility.

Reinforced Areas: Specific areas are reinforced to provide additional protection where it’s needed most.

Coatings and Finishes:

Special Coatings: Palms and fingers of the gloves are often coated with nitrile, polyurethane, or latex to enhance grip and provide an extra layer of cut resistance.

Enhanced Durability: Coatings improve the overall durability of the gloves, making them suitable for long-term use in harsh environments.

03

Ergonomic Design

Ergonomic Design:

3D Modeling and Design: Using 3D modeling to design gloves that fit the hand more naturally, reducing fatigue and enhancing wear comfort. This ergonomic design innovation greatly improves user comfort and compliance.

Breathability: Incorporating breathable materials and designs helps maintain comfort during extended use, preventing sweat and discomfort.

Flexibility and Control:

Finger Flexibility: Design emphasizes finger flexibility, ensuring the wearer is not restricted when using tools or performing precise tasks.

Grip Optimization: Special coatings and surface designs enhance grip, improving operational accuracy and safety.

Certifications That Ensure Trustworthy Protection

Certification Standards

EN 388 Certification: HANVO’s cut-resistant gloves comply with the EN 388:2016 + A1:2018 standard, evaluating performance in four key areas: abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. This ensures our gloves provide consistent protection across a wide range of industrial applications.

ANSI/ISEA Cut Resistance: Our gloves are also certified under the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, which classifies cut resistance from level A1 to A9. HANVO consistently achieves high ANSI cut grades, ensuring compliance with safety requirements in North America and other international markets.

Performance Indicators

Cut Resistance Level: HANVO anti-cut gloves undergo ISO 13997 testing to evaluate cut resistance with high accuracy. This method ensures precise classification based on Newton force values, enabling reliable glove selection for different hazard levels.

Abrasion and Tear Resistance: Independent test results confirm strong abrasion and tear resistance, making our cut-proof gloves well-suited for abrasive, repetitive, or sharp-edge work environments such as metal stamping, machining, and logistics handling.

Material Strength

High-Performance Fibers: HANVO integrates advanced materials such as Kevlar® and Dyneema®, recognized globally for their exceptional cut resistance-to-weight ratios. These engineered fibers are up to 15 times stronger than steel (by weight), delivering outstanding protection without compromising comfort or flexibility. All materials used are tested in accordance with industry safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the differences between ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 standards for cut-resistant gloves?

  The ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, prevalent in North America, classifies cut resistance on a scale from A1 to A9 based on the grams of force required to cut through the glove material using the ASTM F2992-15 test method. In contrast, the EN 388 standard, widely used in Europe and Asia, rates cut resistance from levels A to F using the ISO 13997 test method, which measures the force in Newtons needed to cut through the protective glove. Both standards also assess abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance, but they utilize different testing methodologies and rating scales.

• How do I determine the appropriate cut level for my specific application?

  Selecting the right cut level depends on the hazards present in your work environment. For tasks involving minimal cut risks, such as general assembly, work gloves rated ANSI A2 or EN 388 Level B may suffice. For higher-risk activities like metal stamping or glass handling, gloves with higher cut resistance, such as ANSI A5-A9 or EN 388 Level E-F, are recommended. Conducting a thorough hazard assessment is crucial to determine the appropriate protection level.

• What materials are commonly used in cut-resistant gloves, and how do they differ?

  Cut-proof safetygloves are made from various materials, each offering distinct properties:​

  High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE): Lightweight and comfortable, offering excellent cut resistance and abrasion resistance.​

  Aramid Fibers (e.g., Kevlar®): Provide high tensile strength, heat resistance, and moderate cut protection.​

  Steel or Glass Fiber Composites: Offer high cut resistance but may be less flexible.​

  Dyneema®: Known for being extremely strong and lightweight, providing high cut resistance and comfort.​

  The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the task, including the level of cut risk, need for dexterity, and environmental conditions.

• Can cut-resistant gloves provide protection against punctures and abrasions as well?

  Yes, many cut-resistant gloves are designed to offer multi-hazard protection, including resistance to punctures and abrasions. The level of protection varies based on the glove’s construction and materials used. It’s essential to consult the glove’s specifications and certifications to ensure it meets the necessary protection levels for your specific application.

• Are cut-resistant gloves suitable for use in food processing environments?

  Certain cut-resistant gloves are designed to meet food safety standards, making them suitable for food processing applications. These gloves are typically made from materials that are safe for contact with food and are easy to clean. Always verify that the gloves comply with relevant food safety regulations before use in such environments.​ Contact HANVO for more information.

• How should cut-resistant gloves be maintained and cleaned to ensure longevity?

  Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of cut-resistant gloves:​

  Cleaning: Follow the HANVO’s customized instructions, which may include machine washing with mild detergent and air drying.​

  Inspection: Regularly inspect anti-cut gloves for signs of wear, damage, or degradation.​

  Storage: Store gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals.​

  Adhering to these practices helps maintain the gloves’ protective properties over time.

• Do higher gauge gloves compromise on cut protection?

  Higher gauge gloves (e.g., 18-gauge or 21-gauge) are thinner and offer greater dexterity and tactile sensitivity. Advancements in material technology have enabled these gloves to provide substantial cut protection, often meeting ANSI A4-A6 levels. Therefore, HANVO’s higher gauge gloves can offer both dexterity and adequate cut resistance, depending on the materials used.

• Can cut-resistant gloves be customized for specific industrial applications?

  Yes, HANVO and other manufacturers can offer customization options to meet specific industrial needs. Customizations may include adjustments in glove size, material composition, coating type, and additional features like touchscreen compatibility or enhanced grip patterns. Consult withHANVO to develop gloves tailored to your specific requirements.

• What certifications should I look for to ensure the quality and safety of cut-resistant gloves?

  Key certifications to consider include:​

  ANSI/ISEA 105: Indicates compliance with North American standards for cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance.​

  EN 388: Denotes adherence to European standards for mechanical risks, including cut, abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance.​

  These certifications ensure that the gloves have been tested and meet established safety and performance criteria

  HANVO has an in-house lab to test both systems of standards for customers’ needs.
