These Dexterity® S18KGDNE gloves are designed for electrical and industrial work where arc flash hazards, sharp edges, and precision handling occur together. The ParaActiv™ engineered yarn delivers 360° A3 cut protection, while the extended cuffs provide additional A6 cut resistance to protect wrists from unfinished metal edges commonly found in panels and electrical enclosures. Their electrostatic dissipative construction helps safeguard microelectronics, and the neoprene palm coating offers a reliable grip while maintaining flexibility. Touchscreen compatibility allows workers to transition between tools and digital interfaces without removing their gloves, making them ideal for fast-paced environments.

Key Features

Cut protection where it matters: ParaActiv™ yarn offers ANSI A3 palm-and-hand cut resistance, while extended cuffs provide ANSI A6 wrist protection for handling sharp edges.
Touchscreen compatibility: Enables seamless interaction with digital devices and tools without removing gloves.
Neoprene palm coating: Offers grip stability and flexibility while resisting flame exposure during high-risk tasks.
Electrostatic dissipative design: Helps protect sensitive microelectronics by reducing static buildup.
18-gauge construction: Provides a thin, form-fitting feel for precision handling.
Flexible and comfortable fit: Supports long-duration tasks requiring both grip accuracy and hand mobility.

Intended Use

These gloves are intended for tasks that require arc flash protection, cut resistance, and precision control, especially where workers interact with sharp edges, electronics, or touchscreen devices.

Ideal for:

Electrical utilities and field maintenance
Oil & gas and petrochemical operations
Refinery maintenance
Industrial maintenance
Mining support tasks
Equipment servicing around panels, enclosures, or microelectronics
