Ansell 285218 Cut-resistant Gloves Ansi A5 Medium

Product Description

The ANSELL 285218 is a high-visibility, cut-resistant work glove in the 11-515 series, designed for trade and industrial professionals who handle sharp materials, sheet metal, glass, or other cut hazards. The glove shell is constructed from a seamless 13-gauge blend of Kevlar, Spandex, and Stainless Steel, delivering ANSI/ISEA Cut Resistance Level A5 performance. The palm and fingertips are coated with foam nitrile using a dipped process, providing grip on both dry and lightly oily surfaces. Static dissipative construction meets the needs of environments where electrostatic discharge is a concern.

These gloves are suited for a wide range of trade applications including HVAC sheet metal fabrication, plumbing rough-in involving metal pipe cutting, electrical conduit work, and general mechanical assembly. The lime yellow and orange color scheme provides high visibility on job sites. Sold as a pair, size Medium, which corresponds to a Women's Small per the manufacturer sizing guide. The 13-gauge knit construction offers a balance of dexterity and protection appropriate for precision hand tasks involving sharp edges or abrasive surfaces.

Installation Notes

Inspect gloves prior to each use for tears, coating separation, or compromised seams that may reduce cut protection. Do not use these gloves as a substitute for arc flash PPE or chemical-resistant gloves where those specific hazards are present. Replace immediately if the shell or nitrile coating shows visible damage. Follow applicable OSHA hand protection requirements and site-specific PPE programs when selecting and using cut-resistant gloves.
