Product Description

These gloves meet EN 388 Level 5 and ANSI A5 cut resistance standards. They are professional-grade industrial cut-resistant gloves. Featuring high-level cut protection, they use a composite yarn structure made with HPPE, glass fiber, and steel. The gloves utilize HPPE, glass fiber, and steel composite yarn technology. Their reliable performance makes them a popular choice for industrial users. They are commonly used in metalworking, steel handling, glass processing, and construction. For more product information, please contact our sales manager. Below are the key features of the G002 Level 5 cut-resistant gloves:

  • Constructed with HPPE, fiberglass, and steel-reinforced composite yarn, making them more suitable for high-risk industrial environments than standard polyester liners
  • Meets ANSI/ISEA 105 A5 standards, corresponding to TDM cut test results of 2200–2999 g, suitable for handling medium-to-high cut-risk materials
  • Complies with EN 388 Level 5 / Cut D-E cut resistance requirements.
  • Features a 13-gauge seamless knit construction that balances flexibility and cut resistance
  • Steel wire-reinforced yarn is integrated to enhance tear resistance
  • Palm and fingers feature a sandy nitrile coating, available with palm coating, half-dip, and full-dip options
  • M-tide gloves feature an elastic knit cuff for a better fit
  • Sizes: Available in S–XXL, suitable for both men and women

Application

Applications requiring medium to high cut resistance

  • Machining and operations involving cutting oils
  • Food processing/meat handling (pre-processing; full-dip coating required)
  • Metalworking and cutting operations involving steel, copper, and other metals
  • Handling and cutting of large glass panels

We offer customization options for the G002 Level 5 cut-resistant gloves, which can be customized for a wider range of applications:

A5 Goatskin Cut-Resistant Work Gloves

Featuring a goatskin outer layer and a high-performance cut-resistant yarn liner. Reinforced thumb crotch area; goatskin offers softness, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.

A5 TPR Impact-Resistant Cut-Resistant Gloves

Featuring TPR impact-resistant modules and a textured/foam nitrile palm coating, these gloves provide improved impact protection.

A5 PU-Coated Cut-Resistant Gloves

With an HPPE/glass fiber/steel wire or HPPE/glass fiber composite liner and a polyurethane (PU) coating, these gloves are more flexible and suitable for precision cutting and assembly tasks.

Work gloves should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated, and cool environment, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature is typically between **10°C–25°C**. Excessively high temperatures can cause the rubber, nitrile, or coating to age, become sticky, or crack, thereby reducing protective performance.

When measuring glove sizes, first use a soft tape measure to measure palm circumference at the widest point (excluding the thumb), then measure hand length from the base of the middle finger to the fingertip. Refer to the size chart based on these two measurements to select sizes such as S, M, L, or XL. If the palm circumference and finger length correspond to different sizes, generally prioritize the palm circumference and choose a tighter or roomier fit based on personal preference.

FAQ

What are the advantages of choosing HPPE, glass fiber, and steel composite yarn?

This high-strength blended yarn provides good cut resistance, lightweight comfort, and enhanced protection. HPPE fiber is lightweight and flexible, helping improve wearing comfort. Glass fiber increases cutting resistance when the blade contacts the glove, helping achieve a higher cut resistance level. Steel further enhances tear resistance and puncture resistance, making the gloves suitable for contact with metal burrs, glass edges, steel plates, and other high-risk materials.

 

M-tide glove engineers know that when these three materials are combined, they can create a strong balance between durability, protection, and flexibility. This makes the gloves suitable for a wide range of applications, helping companies reduce the need to stock too many different glove types and providing a cost-effective protection solution.

A Level 5 cut-resistant glove usually refers to a glove that meets the old EN388 cut resistance Level 5, and it is often compared with ANSI A5 for performance reference. It is designed for medium-to-high cut-risk applications such as metal fabrication, glass handling, and steel handling. M-tide offers HPPE, glass fiber, and steel composite yarn options with bulk customization, making it a reliable choice for professional buyers.

The main difference between Cut 3 and Cut 5 is the level of cut protection and the application range:  

  • Cut 3 is suitable for medium cut-risk tasks, such as general assembly, packaging, and light metal handling.  
  • Cut 5 is designed for higher cut-risk tasks, such as glass handling, steel processing, recycling, and sharp-edge material handling.  
  • Cut 5 gloves usually use stronger composite yarns such as HPPE, glass fiber, and steel.  
  • Cut 3 gloves are generally lighter and more flexible, while Cut 5 gloves focus more on safety protection.

Cut 5 usually refers to Level 5 under the older EN388 cut resistance scale. In EN388:2016, cut resistance may also be shown as Cut A-F, while ANSI/ISEA 105 uses A1-A9 levels. Because the test methods are different, Cut 5 cannot be directly converted to one ANSI level. However, many high-performance Level 5 gloves are commonly close to the ANSI A4-A5 range, depending on the test report.
