Polyco Bladeshades Seamless Knitted Level 5 Cut Resistant Glove
The Polyco Bladeshades Seamless Knitted Level 5 Cut Resistant Glove is an approved food safety glove that helps prevent food contamination. Available in a variety of colours, the Bladeshades glove is ideal for environments where cross contamination is a high risk and there is a demand for different gloves for each area or food type.
Fantastic for food preparation where a knife is used, the glove provides excellent dexterity alongside cut resistance making it an ideal butchery, filleting and food prep glove. It is also great for other cutting activities where the hand not holding the knife is at risk of a slash or cut wound.
The Polyco Bladeshades Seamless Knitted Cut Resistant Glove is also available for purchase in a case of 12.
Main Features of the Polyco Bladeshades Seamless Knitted Cut Resistant Gloves
Cut Resistance
With a Level 5 Cut Resistance thanks to its high cut resistant yarn with Dyneema technology, the gloves help to ensure that the entire hand is protected from blade cuts. This yarn can be seen close up in the image below.

Dyneema is a highly advanced fibre based on an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It is incredibly strong, approximately 15 times stronger than steel while being up to 40% lighter than materials like aramids. A patented gel-spinning process gives Dyneema unique, highly-directional attributes that allow for its unmatched strength-to-weight ratio.
Food Approved
Utilising a low linting design, the gloves help to prevent food contamination and therefore offer excellent hygiene control.
Washable
The Bladeshades glove can be washed in a standard washing machine (please see the additional information tab), making them practical and reusable for both domestic and professional environments.

Then compare your measurement with the chart below to ensure that you select the correct size of glove for your hand. We would recommend using a tape measure or ruler to get the right measurement. Our measurements are based on centimetres. Where your measurement falls on the boundary of two sizes, we would recommend selecting the larger of the two sizes for a comfortable fit. However, if you would specifically like your gloves to be a closer fit, perhaps for work that requires fine movements, select the smaller of the two sizes. |
