Product Overview
The Cut D13 Viz-Tex Liner Glove represents a sophisticated approach to hand protection, engineered for environments where both high-level cut resistance and thermal protection are non-negotiable. As a high-performance liner, it is designed to be worn either as a standalone glove or beneath another layer, providing a versatile shield against mechanical risks without the bulk associated with traditional heavy-duty gloves.
Dressed in a high-visibility yellow, this liner ensures that the presence of hand protection is easily verifiable in the workplace. It isn't just about visibility, however; the technical composition of the fabric allows it to withstand contact heat up to 100°C, making it an essential tool for those handling warm components or working in proximity to heat sources.
Key Features
- High-Level Cut Resistance: The D13 rating ensures significant protection against sharp edges, protecting the wearer from lacerations in high-risk environments.
- Heat Resistance: Capable of withstanding contact temperatures up to 100°C, providing a vital safety margin when handling heated materials.
- Maximum Abrasion Performance: The durable knit is designed to resist wear and tear from rough surfaces, extending the lifespan of the glove.
- Lightweight Construction: The liner's thin profile ensures that dexterity is maintained, allowing for precision work that thicker gloves might hinder.
Design & Performance
The performance of this glove is rooted in its complex material blend. By combining High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) with glass fibre and polyester, the fabric achieves a high strength-to-weight ratio. The HPPE provides the core cut resistance, while the glass fibre adds structural rigidity to deflect sharp objects. Polyester and elastane are integrated to provide a snug, ergonomic fit that moves with the hand.
The breathable knit ensures that even during prolonged use, comfort remains high. This is particularly important for a liner glove, as it prevents the build-up of moisture that can lead to skin irritation or a loss of grip within an outer glove. The elasticated cuff ensures the glove remains securely in place, preventing debris from entering the hand area.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for cut and heat resistance, we do not offer customisation. Adding embroidery would involve puncturing the specialised HPPE and glass fibre weave, which would immediately compromise the cut-protection rating. Similarly, the heat required for print transfers could damage the integrity of the synthetic fibres. To ensure your protection remains at the level specified by the manufacturer, these gloves are supplied in their original, un-modified state.
Use Cases
This glove is particularly well-suited for carpenters and joiners who require protection against sharp tools and wood slivers while maintaining the dexterity needed for fine finishing. It is also an excellent choice for workers in glass handling, metal fabrication, and assembly lines where small, sharp components are handled frequently.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a staple of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Based in Telford, we have spent decades refining our expertise in protective clothing and equipment. We understand that in a professional environment, your gear isn't just clothing—it's a tool. We select only the most reliable products to ensure that your team remains safe and compliant with modern safety standards.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the liner fits snugly against the skin; a loose liner can cause friction and reduce your grip on tools. If you are using these as a secondary layer, ensure your outer gloves are sized appropriately to accommodate the liner without restricting blood flow to the fingers, which is vital for maintaining warmth and sensitivity in cold conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance standards of the Cut D13 Viz-Tex Liner, regular inspection is required. While these gloves are robust, the microscopic glass fibres can be damaged by improper handling. We recommend a gentle approach to cleaning to ensure the protective qualities remain intact over time.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches or industrial solvents. These substances can degrade the HPPE fibres at a molecular level, significantly reducing their ability to resist cuts. If the gloves become contaminated with oils or greases, they should be replaced if a gentle wash does not restore their grip and flexibility, as compromised fibres can no longer guarantee the rated level of protection.
