Features of the Canadian-made blue TenActiv™ cut resistant glove

Canadian made glove used for safe food handling. It is made of a high-performance latex-free TenActiv™ fiber and includes a high level of cut protection for the worker. It is blue in color, but other colors are available by special order. This glove is ambidextrous, which is why it is sold individually, and it is available in sizes XS through 2XL.

In addition to the excellent 360° ANSI A7 cut protection, this glove is washable for freshening, retains its shape and is hypoallergenic. It is treated with an active agent to achieve a 99.9% antimicrobial status and is treated with Size-Lock™ to prevent shrinkage. It is fully washable, even with bleach. This glove retains its shape, size and antimicrobial properties over time (100+ washes). These gloves are made with latex-free materials to limit the risk of allergic reactions for the worker. For cleanliness, it can be worn in combination with a disposable glove when handling food.

Applications of the Sure Knit A7 glove in food processing

Food processing (meat, vegetables, canning), pharmaceutical manufacturing and blade handling.

Restrictions and combination with a chain-mail glove

For better cut protection, for butchering work it is recommended to use a stainless steel chain-mail glove (mesh) in combination with this glove for the repetitive and prolonged handling of knives or other sharp objects.

Maintenance and lifetime of the washable TenActiv™ glove

Basic maintenance is recommended to extend the life of your gloves. Simply wash them in hot water at 105°F/40°C with a regular detergent. You can then machine dry them at medium temperature. If needed, you can also use bleach if your gloves are stained, but it is not necessary or recommended to wash them every time with a bleaching agent.
