Radians Cut Protection Gloves: Advanced Safety for High-Risk Work Environments

Radians brand of cut resistant, coated, and leather gloves utilizes the latest technologies to offer the safest and longest lasting gloves on the market.

Read on to learn more about the components of a good glove and the many solutions that Radians has on offer.

Why Cut Protection Matters

Hand injuries routinely rank among the most frequent workplace incidents according to data from occupational safety organizations. Lacerations, which are frequently brought on by contact with blades, sheet metal, or shattered glass, can result in lost productivity, workers compensation claims, and downtime.

When choosing gloves for use in industrial, construction, and manufacturing environments, ordinary gloves don't provide sufficient protection. Specific gloves are required because workers in these industries encounter dangerous situations with sharp objects, heavy materials, and machinery creating risk of lacerations and punctures.

Leading PPE manufacturer Radians responds to these worries by providing a wide range of cut-resistant gloves that are made to be comfortable, long-lasting, and compliant with ANSI/ISEA 105 standards. Radians has a glove for every job, whether it's metal fabrication, HVAC, glass handling, automotive assembly, or warehousing.

Key Features of Radians Cut Protection Gloves

1. Variety of Cut Levels

To guarantee that you receive the appropriate degree of protection for the task at hand, Radians offers gloves in ANSI Cut Levels A2 through A9. Although an A2 glove might be adequate for light-duty tasks like packaging or material sorting, heavy-duty jobs involving metal or sharp objects might require A6–A9 level protection.

2. Advanced Base Materials

Radians uses a range of high-performance materials, including:

• • HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene): This what the shell of the glove is made out of. It offers strength without bulk, providing cut resistance while maintaining dexterity
  • Aramid fibers: Also weaved into the shell of the glove. Aramid is used in many high-cut-level gloves, known for excellent heat and cut resistance.
  • Steel and fiberglass blends: Only used in gloves designed for extreme cut resistance. Embedded strands of stainless steel and fiberglass offer top-tier protection for environments with the highest cut risks. These materials are often blended with spandex or nylon for flexibility and form-fitting comfort.

3. Grip & Coating Options

Radians gloves come dipped in Polyurethane (PU), foam nitrile, or sandy nitrile coatings, which provide excellent grip in dry, wet, or oily conditions. These coatings improve both safety and efficiency by enabling workers to maintain control of their tools and materials.

• • PU-coated gloves: Suitable for precise operations that require touch sensitivity, for example asssembly work.
  • Foam nitrile: Provides a gentle touch while maintaining strong resistance to abrasion such as operating a disc sander spinning an abrasive sanding disc.
  • Sandy nitrile: Provides a better grip in oily situations and is suitable for mechanical or automotive applications.

4. Touchscreen Compatibility

Some models come with touchscreen-compatible fingertips, which enable workers to operate tablets or scanners through their gloves, thus reducing downtime and minimizing cross-contamination risks. These gloves can be handy on a construction site.

5. Comfort-Focused Design

The Radians glove system combines ergonomic design with breathable liners and seamless knit construction to minimize hand fatigue during extended work periods. Radians construction style gloves include impact protection elements on knuckles and back of hand sections to enhance safety in demanding work environments.

Popular Models

Some standout gloves in the Radians line include:

• • RWG604 AXIS™ - a high-dexterity glove with an A6 cut level, sandy nitrile palm coating, and HPPE shell, ideal for metal handling and glass work.
  • RWG13 is a budget-friendly A2 cut glove with a PU-coated palm for general-purpose tasks. This glove is popular in general manufacturing and light metal fab.
  • (RWG13S, RWG13M, RWG13L, RWG13XL, RWG13XXL)
  • RWG338 is a heavy-duty A7 glove with TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) back-of-hand protection and foam nitrile palm, suited for oil and gas or heavy industrial settings.

Compliance and Certification

Radians Cut Protection Gloves are tested to the latest ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standards and, in many cases, CE EN 388 requirements. This thorough testing gives safety managers peace of mind when specifying PPE for their teams, knowing that the gear meets stringent performance criteria.

Choosing the Right Glove

The selection of appropriate cut-resistant gloves requires more than basic cut level consideration. Here are other things to consider:

• • The type of task (sharp tools, oily parts, delicate assembly, touch screen capable)
  • Environmental factors (temperature, moisture, contaminants)
  • The need for grip or impact protection
  • Fit and comfort (especially for extended wear)

Radians Cut Resistant Gloves provide dependable performance through advanced materials, which match the various protection levels required for high-risk jobs. Safety professionals can find the right glove for their application through Radians' downloadable spec sheets, product videos, and on-site evaluations.
