Product Description

The Ansell ActivArmr 97-005 Kevlar plumber glove, medium, is knit from Kevlar fiber, also known as aramid fiber, to provide better cut protection than standard plumber gloves, and it has a foam nitrile coating on the palm and fingertips for gripping piping and other materials and protecting against burns from warm pipes. Ansell's knitted variable stitch design (KVSD) provides a barehanded feeling and breathability. The cuff has an adjustable wrist closure with pull tab for comfort and an ID nameplate on the inner cuff for personal identification. This glove meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) 105-2005 performance rating standards for level 2 cut resistance. It is suitable for use in laying, fitting, or installing pipe, and in plumbing maintenance and repair applications, among others.Work gloves help protect the hands, can cover the wrists, and sometimes extend to cover part, or all, of the arm. Work gloves are typically constructed from leather or heavy cotton and are suitable for use in construction, mechanical, landscaping, and do-it-yourself applications to help protect against minor cuts and abrasions. Work gloves for use in manufacturing and construction industries can be made of woven, high-strength synthetic fiber to resist cuts from heavy machinery and withstand high levels of heat without melting. Work gloves may also be made of, or include, flame retardant material for use in welding and other heavy-duty applications.Ansell manufactures surgical, examination, industrial, and household gloves, as well as protective clothing. The company, founded in 1905, is headquartered in Red Bank, NJ.
