Lõikekindad

Lõikekindad are protective gloves designed to prevent injuries from sharp objects. They are commonly used in industries where handling materials with sharp edges is a regular part of the job, such as manufacturing, construction, food processing, and glass handling. The primary function of lõikekindad is to offer a barrier between the wearer's skin and potential cutting hazards.

The effectiveness of lõikekindad relies on the materials used in their construction. Many modern lõikekindad are made from high-performance fibers like Kevlar, Dyneema, or Spectra. These materials are engineered to have exceptional tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and cutting. Some gloves may also incorporate metal mesh or other reinforced elements for enhanced protection. The weave and thickness of the material play a crucial role in determining the level of cut resistance.

Lõikekindad are categorized based on their resistance to cuts, often following standardized testing methods like those established by EN 388. This standard assigns a performance level from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating the highest level of cut resistance. Users should select gloves that correspond to the specific risks they face in their work environment. Beyond cut resistance, lõikekindad may also offer protection against punctures, abrasions, and impacts, depending on their design and additional features. Proper fit and comfort are also important considerations to ensure the wearer can maintain dexterity and perform tasks effectively while being protected.
