What the Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 Cut-Resistant Gloves Offer

They are a 13-gauge HPPE nylon-spandex knit glove rated ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 A2 for cut resistance, with an EN 388 rating of 4X42B and ANSI level 5 abrasion and level 3 puncture. The palms are dipped in polyurethane (PU) — a thin, tactile coating that delivers secure grip and dexterity on dry and lightly oily surfaces without bulk. The fine 13-gauge knit is form-fitting, so you keep the feel to handle small parts and fasteners, and the touchscreen fingertips let you use a phone or tablet without degloving. Longer knit cuffs keep debris out, and the gloves are machine washable.

ANSI A2 is a moderate cut level — the right fit for the light-to-moderate cut hazards of general construction, assembly, manufacturing and automotive handling. For a higher cut hazard, step up the range: the same-model nitrile 7024 is A4, the 7022 is a hi-vis A4, and the 7040 is A5. Our cut-glove guide explains the A-levels.

ANSI A2 and the PU Coating: What They Mean

Two ratings tell you what this glove is for. The first is the ANSI A2 cut level. The ANSI/ISEA 105 scale runs A1 to A9; A2 sits at the moderate end, appropriate for the everyday cut risks of parts handling, assembly, light fabrication and general construction. It is a genuine, tested level — not marketing — and the honest read is that it covers the common nicks and slips of general work, but not the serious cut hazards of glass, sheet metal or blade-heavy fabrication, where an A4 to A6 glove is the right call. Buy A2 where A2 fits the hazard, and step up where it does not.

The second is the PU coating, and it defines the grip. Polyurethane is a thin, flexible dip that gives excellent tactile grip and dexterity on dry and lightly oily surfaces — ideal for handling small components, fasteners and tools where feel matters. What it is not is a wet- or heavy-oil grip coating, nor a liquid barrier: for genuinely oily or wet work, a nitrile palm grips better, which is why Ergodyne offers the nitrile 7024 and gloves like the 7022. Match the coating to your surfaces and the cut level to your hazard, and see our cut vs impact guide for where a cut glove stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cut level is the ProFlex 7024 PU?

ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 A2, with an EN 388 rating of 4X42B. A2 is a moderate cut level — good for the light-to-moderate cut hazards of general construction, assembly, manufacturing and automotive work. It is not a high-cut glove: for sharp metal edges, glass handling or heavy fabrication you want an A4 to A6. Match the level to your hazard, and note this PU version is A2 specifically.

Is it cut-proof?

No — no glove is. Cut-resistant means it resists cuts to a tested level, here ANSI A2, not that it cannot be cut. A sharp enough edge, enough force, or a slip can still cut through an A2 glove; the rating tells you how much protection you have, not that you have none to worry about. Use it within its level, keep your technique safe, and step up a level if your cut hazard is higher.

What does the PU coating do?

The polyurethane palm dip gives a secure grip with good dexterity on dry and lightly oily surfaces, without the bulk of a thicker coating. PU is thin and tactile, which is why these gloves handle small parts and fasteners well. Where your work is genuinely wet or oily, a nitrile coating grips better in those conditions — the 7024 nitrile version handles that, and it happens to carry a higher A4 cut level too.

How thin and dexterous is a 13-gauge glove?

13-gauge refers to the knit density of the liner — a higher gauge means a finer, thinner, more form-fitting knit. At 13-gauge the 7024 is a thin, dexterous glove that moves with your hand, which is the point of an HPPE nylon-spandex knit: cut protection you can actually work in. It trades some of the bulk-based durability of a lower-gauge glove for feel and fit, which suits detailed handling.

How does the PU 7024 compare to the nitrile 7024?

Same 7024 platform, different coating and cut level. The PU 7024 (this one) is ANSI A2 with a polyurethane palm for dry and light-duty grip and dexterity. The nitrile 7024 is ANSI A4 with a nitrile palm that grips better in wet and oily conditions and offers a higher cut level. Choose the PU A2 for dry, light-to-moderate cut work where feel matters, and the nitrile A4 for wetter, higher-cut work. It is the coating and the cut level that separate them.

Are the fingertips touchscreen-capable?

Yes — the fingertips are made to work with smartphones and tablets, so you can swipe, tap and type without pulling a glove off. On jobs where you are constantly checking a device — scanning, logging, referencing a drawing — that saves the small hazard and hassle of degloving a hand repeatedly. It is a practical feature on a modern work glove rather than a safety rating.

Can I machine wash them?

Yes — the 7024 is machine washable, so you can clean them and restore grip and feel rather than binning a dirty pair. Follow the care guidance on the packaging, and inspect them after washing: cut gloves are retired on damage, not just dirt, so check for cuts, thinning or holes in the liner and coating. Washing extends usable life; it does not reset a glove that is worn through.

What are the longer cuffs for?

The 7024's knit cuffs are longer than many competitors', which extends the protected area a little up the wrist and helps keep dirt and debris out of the glove. On dusty or gritty work that is a real comfort gain, and the snug knit holds the glove in place. It is not a gauntlet cuff for forearm protection, though — for that you would look to a longer-cuffed or sleeved cut-protection product.

What work is it good for?

General construction, manufacturing, assembly, automotive and maintenance — the everyday handling where you need moderate cut protection with good dexterity and grip. The A2 level, PU grip and touchscreen fingertips suit parts handling, light fabrication, fastening and general shop work. For heavy cut hazards like glass or sheet metal, or for wet and oily grip, step to a higher cut level or a nitrile coating instead.

Is it chemical or liquid resistant?

No. It is a cut-resistant work glove, not chemical or liquid protection — the PU palm gives grip, not a liquid barrier, and the knit back breathes. For handling chemicals, solvents or liquids you need a glove specifically rated for that exposure. Keep the 7024 to dry and lightly oily mechanical handling, and use a chemically-rated glove where liquids or chemicals are the hazard.

How do I size and care for them?

Take your normal glove size for a snug, dexterous fit — a cut glove works best fitted, since a loose glove reduces feel and can snag. The 7024 comes in a size range to suit most hands. Care is simple: machine wash to clean, air dry, and inspect before each use, retiring any glove with a cut, hole or thin spot in the liner or coating regardless of how clean it looks.

When should I replace them?

Retire them on any cut, tear, hole or thinning in the liner or the PU palm, when the grip is worn smooth, or when the fit has stretched out so they no longer sit snug. A cut glove with compromised material no longer performs to its A2 level even if it looks serviceable, so inspect them regularly. They are inexpensive and washable, so replace a worn pair rather than pushing a damaged one.
