Ergodyne 7024 ProFlex Nitrile Cut-Resistant Gloves, A4

The Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 Nitrile Coated Cut-Resistant Gloves provide ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Level A4 cut resistance with sandy nitrile palm coating — delivering mid-to-high cut protection for industrial manufacturing, sheet metal, and material handling operations where the cut hazard from sharp materials exceeds the A2 baseline and requires the A4 level for adequate laceration protection, with sandy nitrile grip appropriate for dry and general industrial surface conditions. Level A4 cut resistance addresses the upper mid-range of industrial cut hazard — above the A2 and A3 levels appropriate for general construction and moderate materials, appropriate for manufacturing operations involving sharp metal stampings and forgings, moderate-gauge sheet metal with slit edges, glass fiber composite materials, reinforced plastic and rubber components, and precision metal fabrication where work-hardened edges generate cut forces that require A4-rated fiber construction. Sandy nitrile palm coating provides the textured surface grip and chemical resistance appropriate for general industrial use — the sandy texture maximizes friction against smooth parts and tool handles on dry surfaces, and the nitrile chemistry provides resistance to a range of industrial oils, greases, and chemicals that the operations where A4 cut is specified typically involve. This is the A4-level option in the Ergodyne 7024 product family — the glove for operations where the A2 smooth PU version is under-specified for the cut hazard level but where the task environment is a dry or general industrial setting rather than an oily metalworking environment requiring heavy-duty nitrile. Programs with tiered cut protection specifications can include the 7024 A4 sandy nitrile alongside lower-cut-level options for different task groups within the same facility, providing cut-matched hand protection for each documented exposure tier.

Ergodyne 7024 ProFlex Nitrile Cut-Resistant Gloves A4 — Key Features

• ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Level A4 cut resistance — mid-to-high cut protection for metal stampings, sheet metal, and sharp industrial components
• Sandy nitrile palm coating — textured dry-grip for industrial parts and tool handling
• General industrial construction — appropriate for the range of dry and general industrial surface conditions
• A4 level in the 7024 family — upper-tier cut protection with familiar sandy nitrile grip formulation

Specifications

A4 Cut Level in Industrial Applications

A4 cut resistance is the specification for industrial manufacturing environments where the cut hazard profile from specific materials and operations requires above-A3 protection — typically where precision metal parts with machined sharp edges, stamped metal components with die-cut profiles, glass-fiber reinforced materials, and industrial fabrication materials generate measured cut forces in the A4 threshold range. Manufacturing QC inspectors handling stamped metal components, parts handlers in precision metal fabrication, assembly workers integrating sharp-edge metal brackets and hardware, and general manufacturing workers in facilities with documented A4-level cut materials specify gloves at this tier. Sandy nitrile coating is the standard grip formulation for general industrial settings with dry-to-moderate humidity conditions and light surface contamination — providing reliable grip on metal parts, tool handles, cardboard, and assembly materials that are the typical surface contacts in manufacturing material handling. The 7024 A4 sandy nitrile targets the gap between light-duty A2 smooth PU designs for precision work and heavy-duty A7 designs for extreme-cut metalworking — serving the mid-upper industrial cut protection range in a familiar sandy nitrile format that works across the range of general manufacturing surface conditions.

Real-World Benefits

A4 cut protection addresses the mid-to-upper industrial cut hazard range that A2 gloves under-protect against in manufacturing and fabrication environments with sharp metal components. Industrial workers handling stamped metal parts, precision fabricated components, and sharp-profile materials receive the A4 cut level that the documented hazard requires — without the extreme-cut-level overspecification of A7 designs for materials that don't require it.

Sandy nitrile grip serves the general industrial surface conditions — dry parts, tool handles, and mildly contaminated surfaces — without the specialized properties of wet-grip or heavy oily-condition formulations. General manufacturing and assembly environments with typical dry-to-moderate humidity and light surface contamination receive confident grip performance from the sandy nitrile without the over-engineering of specialized coating formulations not matched to their specific conditions.

Applications and Use Cases

• Precision metal fabrication — stamped and machined component handling — 7024 A4 for parts handlers and assembly workers in precision metal fabrication shops with documented A4 cut hazard from stamped and machined metal components
• General manufacturing — A4 cut-material operations — sandy nitrile cut-resistant gloves for production workers in manufacturing facilities with documented A4-level cut exposure from specific materials and operations
• Composite and glass fiber fabrication — cutting and handling — A4 nitrile gloves for composite fabricators handling glass fiber materials with cut forces above A2/A3 levels

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this 7024 A4 product different from the A2 smooth PU 7024?

Both are designated 7024 but differ in cut level and palm coating. The A2 smooth PU version provides Level A2 cut resistance with a smooth, tactile polyurethane palm for precision assembly and clean dry-contact applications where maximum tactile sensitivity is important. This A4 sandy nitrile version provides Level A4 cut resistance with a textured sandy nitrile palm for higher-cut-force industrial applications with general surface conditions where the higher cut protection and nitrile grip chemistry are appropriate. Select based on the hazard assessment: A4 for documented A4 materials with general industrial surface conditions, A2 smooth PU for lower cut-hazard precision work where tactile sensitivity is the primary palm coating requirement.
