Touchscreen Cut-Resistant Gloves: Granberg 592

Why Touchscreen Compatibility Matters

Modern industrial work relies on tablets, smartphones, and touchscreen-equipped machinery. Removing gloves to use a device creates an unprotected moment, exactly when cuts, abrasions, and contact burns are most likely. The Granberg 592 eliminates that risk with conductive fingertip material that works reliably on capacitive touchscreens.

Cut Protection: ANSI A6 / EN 388 Cut D

The Granberg 592 is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A6, requiring blade resistance exceeding 3000 grams. This makes it suitable for handling sharp sheet metal, glass panels, stamped components, and bladed tools where lesser-rated gloves would fail.

Under the European standard, Typhoon® fibre achieves EN 388:2016+A1:2018 Cut Level D (4X43D), abrasion 4, cut D, tear 4, puncture 3. Together, the dual ANSI A6 and EN Cut D ratings provide verified protection recognised across both North American and international regulatory frameworks.

Grip and Heat Resistance

Sandy nitrile palm coating provides precision grip in wet and oily conditions. The textured surface channels moisture away from the grip zone. Contact heat resistance to 100°C (EN 407:2020 X1XXXX) protects during brief contact with warm surfaces and components.

Applications

Logistics and inventory scanning, manufacturing with touchscreen HMIs, automotive assembly, construction site management, and any role combining sharp-material handling with frequent device use.

In logistics facilities, warehouse staff using handheld scanners and tablets report that the 592 eliminates the constant glove-on, glove-off cycle, saving time on every scan while maintaining full cut protection during material handling.
