Features of the Kevlar level 3 cut-resistant sleeve

This seamless Kevlar(R) knit sleeve features a double-layer tubular knit that gives it incredible durability and unparalleled protection against cuts and other mechanical hazards. It also provides protection from burn hazards, since Kevlar(R) does not melt or drip around extreme heat and open flames. Its flexible construction covers the forearm without straining the arm, making it a top choice for demanding work in hot environments.

Kevlar properties and specifications of the Superior KKWC sleeve

Kevlar(R), a thermoplastic polymer of the aramid fibre family, is a low-density material offering excellent tensile strength, elongation and shear strength. It does not expand despite température changes, absorbs vibrations well and fairly cushions shocks. It does not strain the hand and reacts chemically well to hydrocarbons. Cut resistance: level 3 according to ASTM and ANSI standards. Lengths available: 10 in (25.4 cm) and 14 in (35.5 cm). Material: seamless Kevlar(R) knit, double-layer tubular. Sold in pairs. Superior manufacturer's code: KKWC.

Uses of the Kevlar sleeve for sheet metal, automotive and welding

This sleeve is recommended for workers in hot environments where wearing heavy protective garments may be a burden, but where the forearms must still be protected from mechanical hazards and, possibly, burn hazards. The manufacturer suggests it for settings where metal is handled, such as sheet metal that can be sharp. It is also ideal for workers in the automotive industry, metal fabrication and welding. It is worn with a suitable cut-resistant glove for complete protection.

Restrictions regarding the Kevlar sleeve

Kevlar(R) is known to have low resistance to UV light and moisture: avoid prolonged sun exposure and store the sleeve away from moisture. This sleeve offers only limited protection against cuts, tears and puncture; it reduces the risk without being able to eliminate it completely and does not replace a risk assessment or other safety measures. Always check that level 3 suits the actual task before use.

Maintenance and service life of the Kevlar sleeve

A basic maintenance is recommended to extend the service life of your sleeves. Simply wash them with hot water, that is 170°F / 75°C, with a regular detergent. Rinse them well in cold water after washing, but before drying. You can then dry them at medium température in a dryer. Never use traditional bleach on Kevlar(R). For a stain remover, the manufacturer recommends a peroxide-based bleach rather than a chlorine-based one.
