Features of the butcher chain mail glove with tapered-fit cuff

This chain mail glove covers the whole hand and each finger to provide unmatched protection against cuts. It features a patented tapered-fit design that holds the glove in place, since chain mail tends to move along with the hand. It is sold per unit, as butchers usually have only one hand at risk of mechanical hazards. In refrigerated or frozen environments, workers usually wear a liner underneath to stay warm and a nitrile glove over the chain mail to prevent it from being sullied by any liquids.

Durable, washable stainless steel mesh properties

Stainless steel mesh is almost indestructible: it resists high and low temperatures, is chemically stable, rust-resistant, antistatic and easily washable. It is an ideal solution for shielding safety clothing such as gloves. Its only shortcoming is that it conducts heat well, which is not ideal on its own in extreme temperatures.

Applications of the chain mail glove for butchery and food industry

This glove is recommended for butchers, but also for any workers in the food industry who handle sharp objects. It can even be used in steel mills.

Usage restrictions of the chain mail glove

This glove offers limited protection against mechanical risks: it is designed to limit the damage that may occur while you work, not to prevent it entirely. Avoid wearing this glove when using a slicer or any other mechanical machine in which the glove could get caught.

Maintenance and service life of the stainless steel glove

Clean this glove with the products you usually use on your food processing equipment. Wash it in hot water (around 122 °F/50 °C) and rinse it well with hot water before drying. Keep in mind that anything you put on the glove or touch may end up in the food you are processing.
