Dyneema Gloves













When used in protective gloves, the Dyneema® yarn provides cut resistance levels up to level 3 (EN388) and level 2 (ANSI) without using composite fibers. If the higher level of cut resistance is required, Dyneema® yarns can easily be combined with glass or steel fiber.
Protective gloves are often exposed to sharp objects that can abrade the gloves. And of course, the more a glove is abraded the less protection it offers. Tests have demonstrated that gloves made with Dyneema® have up to 20 times more abrasion resistance than gloves made, for example, with Aramid-based (spun) yarns. This leads to a constant protection while wearing the gloves made with Dyneema®.
