Honeywell bk-kvs-2-18-n Cut-resistant Sleeve Ansi A3 18in

Product Description

The HONEYWELL bk-kvs-2-18-n is an 18-inch cut-resistant protective sleeve constructed from an 18-gauge HPPE, nylon, and spandex knit blend. It is rated to ANSI cut level A3 and EN 388:2016 abrasion level 2, puncture level 3, and tear level 2. The HPPE construction delivers higher tensile strength than aramid fibers while remaining soft, low-linting, and free of glass fibers. The spandex content allows the sleeve to stretch for a snug fit across most arm sizes. The black colorway resists visible soiling, extending service life in high-contact environments. Installation is handled by safety managers, industrial supervisors, or the end users themselves in trade and manufacturing settings.

This sleeve is suited for assembly operations, automotive work, and general industrial applications where forearm and wrist protection from sharp or abrasive materials is required. Typical use cases include knife sharpening, finishing plastics, and handling sheet metal, glass, blades, or cables. The one-size-fits-most design and ambidextrous left- and right-hand compatibility make it practical for mixed-crew deployment. The knit cuff style ensures the sleeve stays in place during active use without requiring additional fasteners.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose forearm and wrist protection sleeve suitable for assembly, automotive, and industrial environments requiring ANSI A3 cut and EN 388 abrasion-rated coverage.

Installation Notes

No tools are required to don or remove this sleeve. Safety coordinators should verify that the sleeve covers the intended forearm and wrist exposure zone prior to task entry. Inspect each sleeve before use for cuts, snags, or material degradation that may reduce protection level. Replace immediately if the knit is compromised or the sleeve no longer fits snugly.
