247Garden Level-5 Cut-Resistant Fiberglass Gloves (Pair, Food-Graded, XLarge)

247Garden's Fiberglass Cut-resistant gloves are designed to protect the wearer's hands from cuts (up to Level-5) while working with sharp tools. It is also safe for food applications (Certified Food Grade, CE-5, ISO-C). The gloves are seamless knitted in one piece by a flat knitting machine at 13-Gauge. The cut protection is provided by high performance materials HPPE (High Performance Poly Ethylene, Dyneema, Spectra), and fiberglass yarns. The gloves are coated with polyurethane. What does Level-5 Cut Resistant Mean? One method of evaluating cut resistance is the EN 388:2016 standard, or "coup" test. EN388 uses a circular rotating blade of 40mm diameter that rotates against the direction of movement. The blade is moving back and forth over a small distance of about 50mm with a load of 5N. The numbers of cut cycles are recorded and compared to a cotton control fabric. A cut resistance index is calculated between "0" and "5" depending on the average number of cycles prior to break-through failure: "0" means 0 to 1.2 cycles; "1" means >1.2 to 2.5 cycles; "2" means >2.5 to 5.0 cycles; "3" means >5.0 to 10.0 cycles; "4" means >10.0 to 20.0 cycles; and "5" means >20.0 cycles.
