Learn More about Cut and Flame Protection Sleeves
What are cut and flame protection sleeves?
Cut and flame protection sleeves are protective arm sleeves designed to do two jobs at once: protect the arms from cuts and abrasions, and guard against sparks and brief flame exposure. They help reduce the risk of forearm injuries in high-risk industrial environments while maintaining comfort and flexibility.
How do cut and flame protection sleeves work?
🛡️ Cut Protection
These sleeves are made with cut-resistant fibers (like HPPE, Kevlar®, or similar high-strength yarns) that help protect the forearms from:
- Sharp tools and blades
- Glass, metal edges, and rough materials
- Scratches and minor punctures in industrial or DIY work
They’re commonly rated under ANSI/ISEA cut levels (A2–A9), depending on how much protection is needed.
☀️ Flame Protection
At the same time, cut and flame protection sleeves are designed with flame-resistant materials to reduce the risk of burns from:
These sleeves are ideal for environments where both cut hazards and flame/fire risks exist.
What are these cut and flame protection sleeves used?
Designed for work environments with sparks, flames, or hot metal particles, where cut hazards also exist.
