(Summary description) Cut Resistant Gloves Definition - What does Cut Resistant Gloves mean?          Cut resistant gloves are a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) specifically designed to protect hands from cuts or lacerations due to contact with various cutting machines, equipment, tools, or sharp-edged items such as knives, blades, metals, glass, or ceramics. Cut resistant gloves are made of special composite materials in combination with stainless steel mesh, fiberglass, and synthetic high-performance yarns.   Safeopedia explains Cut Resistant Gloves          Cut resistant gloves come in varying thicknesses and are made of one or more of the following fibers and materials combined with rubber/polymer: • Steel core - a cut and abrasion resistant material. • Metal mesh - made of stainless steel and is cut and puncture resistant. • Fiber metal blends - durable, cut and abrasion-resistant. • Kevlar aramid fiber - flexible and light weight, 5 times stronger than steel, flame resistant up to 427°C. • Spectra fiber - flexible, cut and abrasion resistant even when wet. It is 10 times stronger than steel per unit weight. • Dyneema - floats on water, durable and resistant to moisture and chemicals. It is 15 times stronger than steel. • Super fabric - flexible, puncture, cut and abrasion resistant.          Cut resistant gloves are evaluated against the standards set by ISO 13997:1999 and the European standard EN388.
