Product Overview
The A655 Cut D Food Glove Liner is a precision-engineered piece of personal protective equipment designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the food industry. This liner provides a critical barrier between the user and sharp implements, offering Cut Level D resistance. By utilizing a sophisticated blend of materials, it ensures that staff can handle knives and cutting equipment with confidence while maintaining the tactile sensitivity needed for intricate food preparation. Sold as a single unit, this ambidextrous glove is a practical and high-performance solution for safety-conscious commercial kitchens and processing plants.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: The integration of steel fibre provides high-level protection against lacerations, which is vital for employees working with butcher knives or industrial slicers.
- Ambidextrous Construction: Designed to fit either the left or right hand, this feature simplifies stock management and ensures that a replacement is always readily available regardless of which hand requires protection.
- High Dexterity: The lightweight construction ensures that the wearer retains full range of motion, which is essential for maintaining speed and accuracy during food service.
- Machine Washable: Capable of withstanding high-temperature laundering to meet the stringent hygiene standards required in food-handling environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A655 is rooted in its material composition. By combining High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) with steel fibre, the fabric achieves a high strength-to-weight ratio. This results in a liner that feels relatively light and flexible on the hand but possesses the structural integrity to resist sharp edges. The addition of polyester and elastic ensures a secure, ergonomic fit that stays in place during repetitive movements, preventing the glove from slipping and causing a potential safety hazard.
Unlike standard gloves, this liner is designed to be low-profile, allowing it to be worn comfortably for extended shifts. The blue colour is a deliberate safety choice, common in food production, to ensure high visibility and easy detection in the unlikely event of contamination.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific item due to its function as a certified piece of safety equipment. Adding embroidery would involve puncturing the cut-resistant fibres, which would immediately compromise the glove's protective rating. Furthermore, in a food-grade environment, addition of inks or threads can pose a contamination risk. This product is intended to be used as-is to ensure maximum safety and compliance with food hygiene regulations.
Use Cases
This liner is indispensable for professionals in the butchery trade, fish processing, and high-volume commercial kitchens. It is also highly suitable for workers in deli counters or food assembly lines where manual cutting is a daily requirement. Its ambidextrous nature makes it a cost-effective choice for large teams where varied hand dominance is common.

Practical Advice
For the best results, we recommend wearing this liner snugly against the skin. If your work involves handling wet or oily food products, you may wish to wear a disposable nitrile or latex glove over the liner to maintain hygiene and keep the liner dry. Ensure you select the correct size; a liner that is too loose can reduce your grip and increase the risk of accidents.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high safety standards of this glove, it is important to follow the correct laundering procedure. We recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This temperature is necessary to effectively remove food residues, fats, and bacteria, ensuring the glove is sanitised for its next use.
Avoid the use of chlorine-based bleaches, as these chemicals can weaken the HPPE and steel fibres, leading to a degradation in cut resistance. Similarly, high-heat tumble drying should be avoided to prevent the elastic components from losing their shape. Allow the glove to air dry naturally to preserve its fit and protective properties for as long as possible.
