Advanced Cut Protection
Boasting Level 5 cut protection when assessed against EN 388 testing protocol, Towa ActivGrip Cut-Resistant Gloves are the perfect glove for heavy-duty environments that require protection from sharps, blades and other abrasive objects. TOW542 Gloves are made with high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) and a glass fibre liner to add durability and prevent the fabric from puncturing, allowing you to operate tools, machinery and hazardous equipment with peace of mind.
Thick Nitrile Coating
Nitrile is used as a protective coating in gloves because it matches the pliability of latex without the concern of skin irritation and allergy issues. It has a number of benefits when used as a glove lining. As a compound, nitrile is incredibly flexible whilst remaining highly durable, providing excellent protection against cuts and abrasions. Nitrile is also liquid-repellent when used as a coating, meaning oil, fuel, chemicals and water simply run off coated areas of the glove.
Application and Uses
Due to their incredible cut-resistance, TOW542 Gloves have a wide scope for professional use. See below for a list of suitable professions and environments:
