SAS Safety SafeCut HPPE Knit PU Coated Gloves – A6 Cut Level (6775 Series)
Product Overview
The SAS Safety SafeCut HPPE Knit PU Coated Gloves (A6 Cut Level) are engineered to provide maximum industrial hand protection without sacrificing tactile sensitivity, flexibility, or all-day comfort. Constructed from a soft, breathable 13-gauge High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) fibre-knit shell, these gloves deliver exceptional resistance to sharp edges while allowing airflow to keep hands cool during strenuous physical labour.
Designed for demanding work environments like sheet metal handling, glass fabrication, automotive assembly, and construction, the palm and fingertips are dipped in a durable, non-sticky polyurethane (PU) coating. This coating creates a high-friction gripping surface that easily handles slick, oily, or greasy materials while protecting the wearer from industrial solvents and abrasions. Fully compliant with the ASTM F2992-15 standard for ANSI Cut Level A6, the SafeCut 6775 series offers a robust defence against direct contact with sharp hazards like razor blades, stamped metal, ceramics, and utility knives.
Key Features
-
ANSI Cut Level A6 Protection: Tested to meet the rigorous ASTM F2992-15 standard, providing high-level defence against extreme laceration hazards, punctures, and abrasions.
-
13-Gauge HPPE Shell: Features a seamless, high-performance polyethylene fibre knit shell that moulds to the hand, offering dexterity, softness, and breathability to reduce hand fatigue.
-
Polyurethane Palm Coating: Equipped with a gray PU palm and fingertip dip that delivers superior dry and wet grip without feeling sticky or bulky.
-
Oil and Solvent Resistant: The palm coating is formulated to repel machine oils, greases, and common industrial solvents, maintaining grip and protection in lubricated environments.
-
High Tactile Sensitivity: Maintains fine finger dexterity, making it easy to handle small fasteners, delicate components, and intricate machinery without removing the gloves.
-
EN 388 Rated: Boasts an EN 388 rating of 4542, indicating level 4 abrasion resistance, level 6 (blade) cut resistance, level 4 tear resistance, and level 2 puncture resistance.

Common Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does ANSI Cut Level A6 mean in practical terms?
A: ANSI Cut Level A6 is a high-level safety rating indicating that the glove fabric can withstand between 3,000 and 3,999 grams of cutting load from a sharp blade before penetration occurs. This level is specifically recommended for high-hazard industrial environments involving heavy glass handling, metal stamping, and sharp-edged scrap fabrication.
Q: Are these gloves completely cut-proof or puncture-proof?
A: No. These gloves are cut-resistant, not cut-proof. While they offer substantial protection against accidental slicing from static sharp objects (like razor blades or sheet metal), they will not completely prevent cuts under extreme force and should never be used around powered rotating machinery, moving equipment, or sharp serrated saw blades.
Q: Can I wash and reuse the SafeCut HPPE gloves?
A: Yes, HPPE knit gloves with polyurethane coatings can generally be laundered and reused. Wash them in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent, and let them hang dry. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can degrade the HPPE fibres and shrink the polyurethane coating.
Q: Why is polyurethane (PU) used for the palm coating instead of nitrile or latex?
A: Polyurethane is exceptionally thin, flexible, and durable. It provides a superior bare-hand feel and high tactile sensitivity while offering a non-sticky, slip-resistant grip. Additionally, PU naturally resists degradation from oils, greases, and industrial solvents, making it preferable for mechanical and assembly work.
