Chainmail Short Glove: A Practical Solution for Hand Protection

Chainmail Short Glove: A Practical Solution for Hand Protection

Introduction

Chainmail short gloves are specialized hand protection devices designed for industries where sharp objects, such as blades or metal fragments, pose a cutting hazard. These gloves combine flexibility with cut resistance, making them suitable for meat processing, metalworking, and glass handling. Hebei Linchuan Safety Protective Equipment Co., LTD produces chainmail gloves that meet international safety standards while ensuring dexterity for precision tasks.

Material and Construction

Chainmail gloves are traditionally made from stainless steel rings, though modern variations may incorporate alloys for improved corrosion resistance. The interlocking ring design distributes force upon impact, reducing the risk of cuts. According to EN 1082-1, chainmail gloves can achieve Level 5 cut resistance, the highest rating under this standard.

Hebei Linchuan’s chainmail short gloves feature:

• Stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316) rings for durability and rust resistance.

• Ergonomic fit to allow finger movement without excessive bulk.

• Reinforced stitching at stress points to prolong glove lifespan.

Applications

These gloves are commonly used in:

• Food processing (meat deboning, fish filleting)

• Metal stamping and sheet handling

• Glass manufacturing and recycling

A study by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) found that cut-resistant gloves reduce hand injuries by up to 60% in high-risk environments (EU-OSHA, 2019).

Maintenance and Care

To maintain effectiveness:

1. Regular inspection for broken or stretched rings.

2. Cleaning with mild detergent to remove contaminants.

3. Drying thoroughly to prevent corrosion.

Conclusion

Chainmail short gloves offer a balance between protection and usability in industries requiring cut resistance. Hebei Linchuan Safety Protective Equipment Co., LTD provides gloves that comply with EN 1082-1 and ANSI/ISEA 105 standards, ensuring reliable hand protection.
