Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut Resistant Gloves

Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut Resistant Gloves are a high‑performance safety glove combining
advanced cut‑resistant fibre technology with a lightweight PU palm coating for outstanding
grip, dexterity and protection. Ideal for construction, engineering, fabrication, glass
handling and maintenance, these gloves are designed for tasks where sharp edges and precision
handling go hand in hand.

Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut Resistant Gloves are engineered for professionals who need reliable
cut protection without sacrificing tactile feedback or grip. The glove’s core is a high‑tech,
cut‑resistant yarn that incorporates magnesium‑based fibres (or similarly advanced technical
fibres – confirm in the product spec), delivering a high level of resistance to cuts and
lacerations from sharp metal, glass and edged materials.

Over the palm and fingers, a thin polyurethane (PU) coating provides excellent grip and
abrasion resistance while preserving flexibility and fingertip sensitivity. This makes the
glove ideal for tasks such as handling sheet metal, trimming profiles, cutting cable tray,
installing HVAC ducting, or working around sharp‑edged components where both protection and
precision are critical.

The seamless knitted liner offers a snug, ergonomic fit that reduces hand fatigue and improves
dexterity. A breathable back of hand helps to minimise heat build‑up, making these gloves
suitable for all‑day use in busy production, engineering and construction environments.

Typically tested to EN 388 for mechanical hazards, and often achieving a high cut rating
(e.g. Cut Level C or higher – always check the exact rating printed on the glove), the
Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut Resistant Glove provides a dependable safety solution for sharp
workpieces while maintaining the agility needed for modern trade tasks.

Typical Use Cases

• Sheet metal work and fabrication – handling, positioning and deburring metal panels and profiles.
• Mechanical and electrical installation – cutting cable tray, trunking, conduit and channel with sharp edges.
• Construction and fit‑out – working with metal studs, ceiling grids, fixings and cut metal components.
• Glass and glazing work (depending on cut rating) – handling sealed units, frames and edged materials.
• Maintenance and engineering – servicing machinery, replacing guards and handling sharp spares and parts.

Fitting & Usage Tips

• Choose the correct size: A close, comfortable fit maximises both cut protection and dexterity; refer to the Blackrock sizing guide.
• Match the cut level to the task: Always check the EN 388 rating on the glove and ensure it meets or exceeds the risk level identified in your risk assessment.
• Best for dry & lightly oily grip: PU performs well on dry and slightly oily surfaces; for heavy oil or very wet conditions, consider a nitrile foam alternative.
• Inspect before use: Replace gloves that show cuts, heavy wear, pulled yarns, or damaged coating – protection is reduced once the structure is compromised.
• Use as part of a system: Gloves complement, but do not replace, safe handling techniques, guarding and good housekeeping around sharp materials.

Technical Information (Typical)

Exact values depend on the specific model and size; always check the markings on the glove and
the official Blackrock data sheet. Typical characteristics of the Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut
Resistant Glove include:

• Type: Cut‑resistant safety glove with PU palm coating.
• Liner: Seamless knitted cut‑resistant yarn incorporating magnesium‑based or advanced technical fibres (confirm in product spec).
• Coating: Polyurethane (PU) palm and fingers for grip and abrasion resistance.
• Back of hand: Uncoated, breathable knit for ventilation and comfort.
• Mechanical protection: Tested to EN 388 – look for a rating such as 4X43C, 4X43D or similar (the exact digits/letters will be printed on the glove).
• Cut performance: Typically EN 388:2016 cut level C or higher, or ISO cut rating applicable – always verify the exact level before use.
• Cuff style: Elasticated knit wrist for a secure fit and to prevent debris ingress.
• Sizes: Commonly available in a range from small to extra‑large (e.g. 7–11); check your supplier’s stocked sizes.

For full technical data, including EN 388 performance numbers (abrasion, cut, tear, puncture),
recommended applications and any limitations, refer to the official Blackrock Magnesium‑PU Cut
Resistant Glove datasheet and declaration of conformity.
