Emerald CX, Kevlar/Wire-Core Glove

The most recent addition to our line of Emerald CX cut-resistant gloves is the SKWCPLTC, which features the exceptional cut-resistance engineered into our Emerald CX yarns (a blend of Kevlar®, wire core steel and polyester) with the added protection of a split-leather, reinforced thumb patch. The result is that you have increased cut-resistance in the mostcritical area - the crotch of the thumb - without sacrificing the touch sensitivity and dexterity of a string glove. So, in situations where workers are handling sheet metal or glass, where touch sensitivity is as important as protecting the inside of the thumb area, this glove is the perfect choice.

Independent tests revealed the following results:

  • CPPT Cut test - 2260 grams (ASTM level 4)
  • TABER - 743 cycles (ASTM level 2)
    With over a quarter-mile of steel in each glove, the cut and abrasion-resistance is twice that of a regular Kevlar® glove.

    Kevlar® is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.

    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.
