ANSI A3 Cut Resistant Gloves
At Armorppe, we manufacture ANSI A3 cut resistant gloves engineered for environments where workers face moderate cut hazards. Positioned as the ideal upgrade from light-duty A2 protection, our A3 series provides a 1000g–1499g cut load capacity, making them a staple for wholesale distributors and industrial safety managers. By choosing our factory-direct supply, you get gloves that combine advanced HPPE or Adamas® fibers with superior grip coatings. Perfect for bulk buy procurement, these gloves ensure your workforce stays safe during metal fabrication, glass handling, and heavy assembly without sacrificing the dexterity needed for complex tasks.

ANSI A3 Cut Resistant Gloves Series
Applications of ANSI A3 Cut Resistant Gloves
Mid-Sized Metal Fabrication
Ideal for handling metal sheets with raw edges and light burs where A2 gloves might fail, providing essential dorsal and palm protection.
Glass Manufacturing & Handling
The A3 rating offers a reliable barrier against glass shards during sorting and transportation while maintaining the tactile feel required for quality control.
Appliance & HVAC Installation
Perfect for technicians working with sharp galvanized steel ducts and internal machine components.
Electrical Wiring & Utility Work
Provides moderate cut defense for workers stripping large cables or handling sharp electrical conduit materials.
Automotive Power-train Assembly
Offers superior protection for mechanics working with engine parts and transmission components that involve both oil and sharp edges.
Pulp & Paper Industry
Designed to resist abrasions and cuts from high-speed paper edges and processing machinery.
ANSI A3 Cut Resistant Gloves FAQ
1.What is the weight of cut resistance for ANSI A3 gloves?
ANSI A3 gloves are tested to withstand a cutting load of 1000g to 1499g. This makes them significantly more protective than A2 (500g+) and suitable for moderate risks in industrial environments.
2.Are ANSI A3 gloves suitable for handling broken glass?
Yes, for small to medium-sized glass handling tasks, A3 is often the industry standard. However, for large-scale plate glass handling, we recommend our factory-direct A5 or A6 models for higher safety margins.
3.How do ANSI A3 cut resistant gloves compare to EN388 Level C?
They are roughly equivalent in terms of protection. Both are considered “moderate cut protection.” ANSI A3 is the North American standard (measured in grams), while EN388 Level C is the European standard (measured in Newtons).
4. Can we order these in bulk with custom branding?
Absolutely. As a leading supplier, Armorppe provides comprehensive OEM services. We can add your company logo and customize the coating color for large wholesale orders.
5. What is the lifespan of an A3 glove in a high-intensity factory setting?
Thanks to our high-abrasion-resistant coatings (Level 4), our A3 gloves typically last 2-3 times longer than basic knit gloves, providing an excellent ROI for bulk buy customers.
6.Do these gloves lose their cut resistance after washing?
No. Our Adamas® and HPPE fibers are inherently cut-resistant. Their performance is maintained throughout multiple industrial wash cycles, making them a sustainable choice for your factory.
