High-level ANSI A4-A9 protection against sharp glass edges. Our EN388 gloves ensure maximum safety during glass handling and cutting processes while maintaining a clean, smudge-free surface.
Heavy-duty performance for handling raw steel and metal sheets. These wholesale cut resistance gloves feature patented yarn technology that is 15x stronger than steel, providing a durable shield in high-risk metal environments.
The perfect balance of protection and precision for vehicle body assembly. The 18g/21g ultra-thin design offers the dexterity needed for handling small components and oily parts on the production line.
All-day comfort for general facility and machinery repair. Our cut resistance gloves supply ensures workers stay protected from sharp hardware and abrasive surfaces without sacrificing tactile sensitivity.
Advanced cut protection for welding prep, deburring, and metal stamping. These EN388 gloves are glass fiber and steel-free, eliminating skin irritation during intense metalworking tasks.
Enhanced grip and "second-skin" feel for complex assembly workflows. As a reliable supplier, we provide gloves that support touchscreen use and long-term durability through multiple industrial washes.
Adamas® cut resistant gloves are engineered with a patented Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarn. Its tensile strength is 15 times higher than steel by weight. Compared to standard HPPE, the cut resistance index of Adamas® is increased by 420%. The most significant breakthrough is that pure Adamas® yarn can achieve an ANSI A6 rating without any fiberglass or steel reinforcement, whereas conventional PE and aramid typically peak at A2-A4 under the same conditions.
This is a core competitive edge. To meet safety standards, traditional high-cut gloves often blend in fiberglass or steel, which causes skin irritation and reduced dexterity. Adamas® cut resistant gloves utilize a 100% metal-free and fiberglass-free technology. This “pure” yarn allows for ultra-fine knitting, offering options from 13-gauge to the elite 21-gauge liners. It provides a “second skin” feel, ensuring workers maintain high tactile sensitivity and comfort even during heavy-duty tasks.
Adamas® offers a superior Return on Investment (ROI) through its exceptional durability. While standard PE and steel fibers degrade or rust after washing, Adamas® cut resistant gloves are designed to withstand 5+ industrial wash-and-dry cycles without losing structural integrity or safety performance. This extended lifecycle significantly reduces the annual procurement expenditure for large-scale facilities.
Zero Allergy Risk: By eliminating fiberglass and steel, we remove the primary causes of skin irritation and contact dermatitis.
Dual Certification: Adamas® cut resistant gloves are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and FDA food-contact approved. This makes them the perfect compliant solution for food processing and medical device handling where contamination is a zero-tolerance issue.
Yes, with exceptional stability. Standard PE lacks UV resistance, and aramid/steel can be prone to chemical corrosion. Adamas® yarn possesses superior chemical and environmental stability. It is highly resistant to moisture, corrosive chemicals, and UV radiation, ensuring reliable protection and a long service life in demanding outdoor or damp industrial conditions.
Adamas® is a Series Solution, not just a single product. Our portfolio covers the full spectrum from ANSI A2 to A9 cut levels, with knitting densities ranging from 13G to 21G. Combined with various coating technologies (Nitrile Foam, Microfine Foam, PU, etc.), we provide a one-stop-shop solution for all roles within your organization—from light precision assembly to heavy metal stamping.
