Product Overview
The A611 Cut D10 Latex Aramid Glove is a specialised piece of hand protection designed for environments where precision and safety are non-negotiable. Specifically developed with the glass industry in mind, this glove provides a high level of protection against mechanical risks while maintaining the dexterity required for intricate tasks. It represents a significant step up in safety for those handling sharp materials or working in high-temperature settings.
Key Features
- EN388:2016 Cut Level D Protection: The integration of high-performance fibres ensures your hands are protected against significant cut risks, reducing the likelihood of workplace injuries during heavy-duty tasks.
- Durable Aramid Liner: This material offers exceptional abrasion resistance, meaning the gloves will withstand the rigours of daily use in harsh environments far longer than standard alternatives.
- Crinkle Latex Coating: The textured surface provides a secure and reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions, which is essential for safely handling smooth or slippery surfaces like glass.
- 250°C Contact Heat Protection: Capable of withstanding high temperatures for short periods, these gloves offer a critical safety barrier for workers who may encounter hot components or materials.
Design & Performance
The construction of this glove utilizes a sophisticated blend of polyester, aramid, and steel fibre. This combination results in a lightweight yet incredibly tough fabric that moves with the hand rather than resisting it. The aramid liner is particularly noteworthy for its ability to resist heat and friction, while the inclusion of steel fibre provides the structural integrity needed to achieve a Cut Level D rating.
The crinkle latex coating is not merely for aesthetics; it is designed to channel fluids away from the surface, ensuring that your grip remains steadfast even if the materials you are handling are damp. The elasticated cuff ensures a snug fit around the wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove and ensuring it remains securely in place throughout the working day.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this product because it is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Adding embroidery or heat-sealed prints could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the aramid and steel fibres, or interfere with the contact heat resistance properties. To ensure your safety and maintain the validity of the EN standards, these gloves must remain in their original, manufactured state.
Use Cases
These gloves are the preferred choice for professionals in the glass manufacturing and installation industry. They are also highly suitable for carpenters, metal fabricators, and those working in recycling or waste management where sharp edges and varied temperatures are a constant factor. If your role involves handling materials that could easily slice through standard work gloves, the A611 is the appropriate choice.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a close fit to maximise the effectiveness of the cut-resistant fibres and the latex grip. A glove that is too loose will reduce your dexterity and could become a snagging hazard. If you are working between different tasks, remember that while these gloves offer contact heat protection, they are not intended for prolonged immersion in hot liquids or for use with chemicals.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your safety gloves is vital for ensuring the longevity of the latex grip. Debris and oils can degrade the crinkle texture over time, reducing its effectiveness. We recommend regularly inspecting the gloves for any signs of wear, particularly checking the fingertips and palms for thinning of the coating or tears in the liner.
Should the gloves become soiled, they should be cleaned according to standard PPE maintenance protocols, avoiding harsh chemical solvents that could break down the latex or weaken the aramid fibres. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle, which would compromise their protective qualities.
