ANTI-CUT knitted fabric exceeds the maximum level, LEVEL 5 of the EN 388 Standard and reaches level D of the ISO 13997 Standard.
The excellent behavior of this fabric when cut by a blade makes it ideal for ANTI-CUT protection garments or accessories.
APPLICATIONS: It is especially suitable in industrial sectors where fine cutting surfaces are handled, such as sheets, metal edges, glass or porcelain, such as in construction, forging, sheet metal, plumbing, etc.
Vigoré gray color of the anti-cut fabric helps to hide the dirt that inevitably stains the garment during work in those environments.
The great elasticity and softness to the touch of the fabric are noteworthy, allowing the manufacture of undergarments in direct contact with the user’s skin and with a perfect adaptation of the fabric to the body thanks to its elasticity.
The structure of the knitted fabric also favors breathability, allowing the evaporation of body sweat.
