Cut Resistant

Superior Glove specializes in cut resistance, with a particular emphasis on the research and development of newer, better styles. The world of hand protection has changed dramatically since the advent of high-tech materials like Kevlar® and Dyneema®, not to mention the growing list of composite yarns. These developments have been nothing short of a revolution for manufacturers of hand protection, offering endless combinations to suit an increasingly wide range of applications. These materials are by their very nature form-fitting, resulting in highly dextrous gloves. In the world of safety, this translates to a safer glove, because compliance (or lack of it) is still a huge source of workplace injury. Various palm coatings complete the picture, and extend the range of applications for cut-resistant protection. With the addition of nitrile, polyurethane, latex, PVC or leather, gloves are automatically transformed into multi-functioning, high-performancehand protection.


 
Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
