Ansell 59-406-26IN Kevlar Cut Resistant Sleeve 26in A2

Product Description

The ANSELL 59-406-26IN is a cut- and puncture-resistant protective sleeve constructed from Kevlar and designed for trade professionals working in environments with sharp edges, open flame exposure, or abrasive materials. At 26 inches in length, the sleeve provides extended forearm and upper-arm coverage. It carries an ANSI Cut Level A2 rating, making it suitable for moderate cut-hazard tasks. A thumb hole keeps the sleeve anchored during active work, and elastic openings at both ends ensure a secure, low-profile fit under or over work garments. Licensed contractors, welders, pipefitters, and fabricators commonly reach for this sleeve on jobs that combine cut risk with heat or flame exposure.

The 59-406-26IN sleeve is used across bonding, riveting, and welding applications in both residential and commercial job sites. Its flame-resistant Kevlar construction makes it a practical choice wherever a worker's forearms are exposed to weld spatter, grinding sparks, or incidental contact with heated surfaces. The universal sizing accommodates a wide range of workers, reducing the need to stock multiple sleeve sizes on a service truck or in a shop environment. The low-profile design allows it to be worn comfortably beneath other PPE layers or standard work shirts.

Installation Notes

Pull the sleeve over the forearm and thread the thumb loop before beginning work to keep the sleeve from riding up. Inspect the sleeve before each use for cuts, fraying, or burn-through that would compromise protection. Flame-resistant sleeves should not be laundered with bleach or fabric softeners, as these treatments can degrade protective fiber properties. Replace the sleeve if the Kevlar shows visible structural damage or if cut-resistance integrity is in question.
