TraffiGlove TG1220 Metric Exposed Fingers Cut Level A Gloves

Sensitivity, flexibility, grip and durability are all crucial during handling based applications, which is why the TraffiGlove TG1220 Metric Exposed Fingers Cut Level A Gloves utilise a PU palm-coating and exposed fingertips to ensure that your productivity is enhanced. The exposed fingertips gives you total control during applications that range from assembly to maintenance and warehousing to packaging, while their tough coating protects the hands from abrasion and ensures that the gloves will last through extended use.

The TraffiGlove TG1220 Gloves offer excellent protection against a wide range of mechanical risks. They have been tested in accordance with EU standards to ensure a high level of performance. Please find the results below:

EN 388

PU Coating for Enhanced Grip

The lightweight TraffiGlove Metric Cut Level A Gloves are designed to offer impressive grip and high abrasion resistance, using a durable polyurethane palm coating that works to provide grip when holding slippery items. This polyurethane coating ensures durability and protects the hands from rough and coarse materials, meaning that they are ideal for handling materials for an extended period of time.

Superb for Assembly and Handling Work

The TG1220 Exposed Fingers Gloves feature three exposed fingertips on either hand, which serve the dual purpose of providing outstanding sensitivity and enhanced flexibility. This is ideal for handling based applications such as those found in assembly, maintenance and packaging, where you are expected to handle materials fast with high productivity. Thin and flexible, these gloves ensure that you have the control when you need it more.

The Traffisafe System

Traffiglove gloves operate on the TraffiSafe system, designed to make it as easy as possible to identify the gloves you may need for a particular task.

• Red gloves feature a cut level of 1 or A, designed to provide very basic cut resistance and should not be used in environments where cut resistance may be needed.
• Orange gloves feature a cut level of 3 or B, designed to provide an intermediate level of cut resistance and should only be used in environments where cut resistance is infrequently required.
• Green gloves feature a cut level of 5 or C to F, designed to provide the best level of cut resistance possible and are suitable for use where cut resistance is repeatedly required.

Suitable For a Range of Uses

The TraffiGlove TG1220 Cut Level A Gloves are best suited to use in dry environments either indoors or outdoors. They are well suited to handling based applications, and promise to boost productivity in applications such as:

• Assembly

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
