Recommended for children from 12 to 14 years.

The cut-resistant gloves in children's sizes are made of a special grey yarn with a partial coating of PU on the palm and fingertips that provides a high level of protection against cuts and contact heat (100 °C, 15 seconds). Limited puncture protection and only in the black PU-coated areas. The gloves are thin and flexible, breathable on the outside, with a knitted cuff, ensuring good dexterity when working with sharp tools. Protection class according to DIN EN 388 and EN 407, abrasion resistance: 4, cut resistance: 5, tear resistance: 4, puncture resistance: 2.

Levels of performance

The abrasion resistance of a protective glove is determined by a scuffing test. In this process, the glove is worked on with sandpaper under pressure until a hole is made in the material. The number of cycles resisted defines the performance level, with each level representing a fourfold increase in protection: Level 4 = 8000+ cycles.

The cut resistance is determined with the coup test. A rotating circular blade cuts through the glove at a constant speed until the material has been cut through. The number of cycles resisted compared to a reference material is given as a factor. Each level represents a doubling of the protective effect: Level 5 = factor 20+.

To determine the tear resistance, the glove is first cut about 1 cm wide. A tensile force measurement is now used to determine the force required to tear the material further. The level is set according to the required force (in Newton): Level 4 = 75+ N.

The puncture resistance test is performed by a defined nail piercing the glove. The force needed results in the protection level: Level 2 = 60 to 99.9 N.
