Uci Typhan NX8 Cut Level E Blade Handling Gloves
UCi Typhan NX8 Cut Level E Blade Handling Gloves are specifically designed to allow for the safe handling of blades, knives, metals and other highly jagged and sharp material. They use a combination steel core and sandy nitrile coating to jam the tip of a blade before it can perforate the skin. This coating also enhances grip strength by trapping moisture, oil and other compromising liquids.

Protection Ratings
Please see below for a detailed breakdown of the EN 388 mechanical resistance ratings awarded to Typhan NX8 Gloves.
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves performance when used whilst working in and around mechanical machinery by measuring abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
Standard | Resistance Level |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | N/A |
Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 3 |
ISO Cut Resistance | Level E |

Suitable Applications
Please view the list below for a few suitable and recommended professions and environments:
Incredible Cut Resistance
Cut Level E resistance means that these gloves can withstand up to an incredible 29.9 newtons of downward force before showing signs of damage or wear. This is essential if you are handling glass, sharp material, blades or other hazardous and abrasive material.
Sandy Nitrile Coating
Sandy nitrile creates a textured coating that's non-slip and absorbs oils, moisture and other slick, potentially hazardous substances. This enhances grip strength and means you can lift products and material with peace of mind.
