The basis of cut protection
Filament yarn and spun yarn are used in knits, fabrics and covered yarn for lightweight products with high specific strength and a cool touch.
Protective gloves and hand protection
Cut resistance without unnecessary weight
UHMWPE enables lightweight cut-resistant gloves and sleeves, while para-aramid adds heat resistance for work near hot surfaces and flames.
01 — ROLE IN THE PRODUCT
How each material works
The material is selected by its function in the structure. The same product may require different fibres depending on the environment and load.
Cut and heat protection
Staple and filament yarn are used where mechanical protection must be combined with heat resistance, flame resistance and stability near heat sources.
02 — APPLICATIONS
Where the yarn is used
Knitted gloves
Knitting yarn and blended constructions for cut and puncture protection.
Protective sleeves
Reinforcement of the forearm while retaining flexibility and low weight.
Covered yarn
A high-strength core and an outer covering for comfort, colour and processability.
Heat-protective models
Para-aramid for welding, hot production and handling heated parts.

What the material offers
- High specific strength and abrasion resistance
- UHMWPE is lighter than water and non-hygroscopic
- Para-aramid retains performance under heat better than UHMWPE
- Coloured and blended options are available
Mandatory checks
- Protection class is confirmed on the finished glove, not on the yarn alone
- Coating, knit density and blend components change the result
- The temperature limit is critical for UHMWPE
- EN 388 levels cannot be claimed without a test report for the product
05 — SELECTION AND PILOT
Four inputs for a technical inquiry
The more precise the inputs, the fewer unnecessary samples and the faster the comparison with the incumbent material.
ProductGlove, sleeve or woven protection
RiskCut, puncture, abrasion or contact heat
ConstructionKnit gauge, covered yarn, coating and weight
AcceptanceFinished-product test method and target class
Questions for the product manufacturer
What knit gauge and coating type are used?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
Which yarn is used now and what needs improvement?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
Are cut and heat risks present simultaneously?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
What volume is needed for knitting and production pilots?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
