Heat Resistant, Cut Resistant Kevlar Gloves

Kevlar is perhaps the most widely used high performance material for industrial applications, which makes cut-resistant, heat-resistant Kevlar gloves and Kevlar sleeves ideal for tough work environments.

Kevlar gloves are known for their high tensile strength relative to its light weight, and they offer superior protection for many applications from manufacturing to food processing and glass handling.

While Kevlar glove fibers can withstand temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, the practical heat resistance of a particular glove is influenced by the thickness and insulating characteristics of that glove. For example, if the fabric is too thin, the heat will travel through the glove while the Kevlar fiber remains intact.

Choosing the right hand and arm protection for a particular application involves evaluating the trade-off between the heat-resistance and cut-protection needed for the task, in light of the dexterity, gripping properties, durability, and comfort desired in the glove or arm guard.

United Glove has over 200 knitting machines at it’s facility in Newton, NC with manufacturing flexibility to get you the right glove or arm sleeve for your task.

Please note that Kevlar gloves are cut-resistant, not cut-proof. It is not recommended for use around machine-powered or serrated blades.

Kevlar gloves are also heat-resistant, not heat-proof, meaning the fiber can withstand temperatures up 800 degrees F. When the fiber degrades, Kevlar will not melt and adhere to the skin. However its insulating properties are no more effective than other less expensive insulating materials.

Without additional enhancements, knitted and woven fabrics made from Kevlar fiber are no more puncture-resistant than other knitted or woven fabrics. Suitability for a particular task requires application-specific testing. United Glove makes no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding fitness of a particular item for a specific task.
