Cut-resistant gloves and sleeves

Whether in industrial settings or the food sector, many workplaces present a high risk of cuts.
Have you properly assessed the risks your hands face every day?
Protecting them is crucial—not just for safety but also to maintain productivity on the job. Cut-resistant gloves help prevent injuries during the handling of sharp tools or hazardous tasks.

Rubix offers a wide range of PPE gloves tailored to the diverse needs of professionals, ensuring optimal protection and peace of mind in every application.

Key Features of Cut-Resistant Gloves
Cut-resistant gloves are designed to offer daily protection and withstand demanding conditions.
They are tested and classified under the EN 388 standard, which assesses the following:

• Cut resistance, to determine protection against sharp edges
• Abrasion resistance, indicating durability over time
• Puncture resistance, to guard against sharp-pointed objects
• Tear resistance, measuring the glove’s ability to withstand mechanical stress

These ratings help you choose gloves that meet your specific work environment and industry standards. Select gloves that are purpose-built for the risks you’re exposed to on the job.

Materials and Construction
To ensure maximum performance, cut-resistant gloves are made from durable and flexible materials, including:

• Leather
• Para-aramid fibres
• High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Polyurethane (PU)
• Polyamide

Some models also feature a nitrile coating, which is ideal for oily or wet conditions.
This coating creates a barrier against fluids while maintaining dexterity.
For high-risk tasks, chainmail gloves are also available, offering maximum cut protection against blades and sharp tools.

• Mechanical industry: ideal for cutting, assembling, and machine operation
