Cut resistant gloves are non-negotiable PPE on any Singapore worksite handling sheet metal, glass, blades, stamped parts or sharp-edged composites. Phil Industries supplies Polyco Healthline cut resistant gloves for metal stamping, semiconductor wafer handling, food processing (deboning and trimming), automotive and aerospace, marine and offshore, and glass and panel fabrication.
Why the rating matters more than the glove
Lacerations and amputations from sharp edges remain one of the top hand-injury categories in MOM’s Workplace Safety and Health reports. As a result, the right cut level prevents serious incidents, supports bizSAFE Star and ISO 45001 audits and protects your project hours. Therefore we specify a level to a hazard rather than issuing a generic “cut glove”.
Which cut level do you need?
| ISO 13997 level | Cutting force | Typical work |
|---|---|---|
| A – B | ~2–5 N | Light assembly, general handling |
| C – D | ~10–15 N | Glass and metal handling |
| E – F | ~22–30 N | Blade work, stamping, deboning |
Under EN 388:2016, cut resistance appears two ways: the older coup-test level (1 to 5) and the ISO 13997 (TDM) level A to F, where A is lowest and F highest.
The cut resistant gloves range
- Bladeshades — high-cut HPPE liners, for example sheet-metal and glass handling.
- Polyflex Cut — nitrile-coated, so they suit assembly and electronics where grip matters.
- Tuff Cut — seamless knit for general fabrication.
- Touchstone Cut — coated gloves for warehouse and logistics.
- Steelshield — steel-fibre reinforced, because the highest cut hazards need more than yarn.
- Food-grade cut resistant — certified for direct food contact in deboning and trimming.
Choosing correctly
Cut resistance is only one part of the choice. Furthermore, balance dexterity, grip in oily conditions, heat resistance, and whether the work runs single-shift or 24/7. Our team maps each workstation against the right ANSI cut level, EN 388 score and palm coating, so the glove protects without slowing throughput.
Frequently asked questions
How are cut-resistant gloves rated?
Under EN 388:2016 they carry both a coup-test level (1 to 5) and an ISO 13997 level A to F. Level A withstands about 2N of cutting force, while Level F withstands about 30N.
Which cut level do I need?
Match the level to the sharpness and force of the hazard. Therefore light assembly may need A to B, glass and metal handling C to D, and blade or stamping work E to F. Tell us the task and we will recommend a level.
Are cut-resistant gloves also food safe or chemical safe?
Sometimes. Because cut resistance (EN 388) is independent of chemical (EN 374) or food-contact (EU 1935/2004) compliance, check the specific glove if you need more than one property. We can match all requirements — see chemical resistant and food safe ranges.
Do you supply cut-resistant gloves in bulk in Singapore?
Yes. We stock case quantities for manufacturing, glass, metal and construction users, with next-working-day delivery and volume pricing.
