MCR Safety 92752PU CutPro A5 Salt Pepper PU Gloves

The MCR Safety 92752PU-XS CutPro A5 Salt Pepper Polyurethane Gloves in X-Small bring ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A5 cut protection to workers who require the smallest standard glove size available. Built from MCR Safety's 13-gauge HyperMax HPPE shell with a salt-and-pepper polyurethane palm coating, SKU 92752PU-XS closes a critical gap in workplace PPE programs by ensuring that workers with smaller hands — a demographic historically underserved by one-size-fits-most glove programs — have access to the same certified cut protection as their colleagues. Available at wcsafety.com for single-pair orders and bulk B2B procurement.

Detailed Description

The X-Small size designation of the 92752PU-XS addresses one of the most persistent oversights in industrial hand protection procurement: the assumption that all workers fit a Medium or Large glove. According to ergonomics and hand safety research, improperly sized PPE is a leading contributor to glove removal behavior — when a glove is too large, workers find it cumbersome and frequently work without it, dramatically increasing cut injury risk. The X-Small, fitting hand circumferences of approximately 6.5 to 7 inches, is sized for a significant portion of adult workers, particularly women entering electronics, pharmaceutical, food equipment manufacturing, and precision assembly sectors.

The HyperMax HPPE 13-gauge shell that underpins the 92752PU-XS achieves ANSI A5 cut performance — the same protection level found in gloves frequently worn for glass handling, metal stamping, and blade-adjacent assembly tasks. Achieving A5 at a 13-gauge is a technical accomplishment: finer gauges use thinner yarns, meaning the fiber composition must compensate through increased tensile strength rather than bulk. HyperMax HPPE accomplishes this through a proprietary ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene formulation that maintains fine-knit flexibility while meeting the 1,500-gram cut threshold.

The salt-and-pepper polyurethane coating on the palm and fingers provides grip characteristics that are well-suited to the work environments where the X-Small size is most commonly needed. In electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, and pharmaceutical packaging, workers regularly handle smooth plastic housings, polished metal components, and glass substrates. The micro-textured PU coating provides the friction needed to securely handle these surfaces without applying excessive force — a key ergonomic benefit that reduces hand and wrist fatigue during high-repetition workflows.

Touchscreen compatibility is integrated directly into the knit at the fingertips, enabling workers to interact with tablets, smartphones, and capacitive touchscreens used in modern manufacturing execution systems (MES), warehouse management systems (WMS), and quality inspection platforms. In highly regulated industries such as electronics or medical device manufacturing, the ability to log data, scan barcodes, and confirm inspection checkpoints without removing gloves contributes directly to throughput and compliance adherence.

For safety managers at companies with diverse workforces, stocking the 92752PU-XS alongside Medium and Large sizes is not optional — it is a compliance obligation. OSHA's PPE standard (29 CFR 1910.138) requires that hand protection be appropriate to the hazard and properly fit the worker. A cut-resistant glove that does not fit cannot fulfill its protective purpose, and an employer that provides only larger sizes to workers who need X-Small may face liability exposure in the event of a hand injury. The 92752PU-XS provides PPE managers with a certified, documented solution for this requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an X-Small cut-resistant glove important for workplace safety compliance?

OSHA's PPE standard (29 CFR 1910.138) requires that hand protection properly fit the worker. When a glove is too large, workers experience reduced dexterity and often remove the gloves, creating significant cut injury risk. The X-Small 92752PU-XS ensures that workers with smaller hands have access to A5-certified cut protection that fits correctly.

What is the ANSI/ISEA cut level of the 92752PU-XS?

The 92752PU-XS is certified at ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A5, requiring the glove to withstand a minimum of 1,500 grams of cut force in TDM-100 testing. This is appropriate for metal stamping, glass handling, blade-adjacent assembly, and similar cut-hazard environments.

Who typically wears an X-Small glove size?

X-Small gloves fit workers with a hand circumference of approximately 6.5 to 7 inches. This size is commonly required by women in manufacturing and by men with smaller-than-average hands. Safety managers should survey their workforce and stock multiple sizes to ensure compliance.

Is the X-Small size the same protection level as larger sizes in the 92752PU series?

Yes. The 92752PU-XS carries the same ANSI/ISEA A5 cut rating and uses the same HyperMax HPPE shell and PU coating as all other sizes in the series. Protection level does not vary by size.

Can these gloves be used in electronics manufacturing environments?

Yes. The fine 13-gauge construction provides tactile sensitivity for PCB handling and component assembly, while the A5 cut rating protects against sheet metal edges. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips support use of scanners and tablets on the production floor.

How should the 92752PU-XS be cleaned?

Machine wash in warm water with mild detergent and air dry. Avoid high-heat dryer cycles that may degrade the PU coating. Regular washing extends glove life and supports multi-shift rotation programs.

Does the polyurethane coating provide oil resistance?

The salt-and-pepper PU coating is designed for dry to lightly oily conditions. For heavy wet or oil-immersion applications, a nitrile or foam-nitrile coated cut-resistant glove may be more appropriate.

Can I order the 92752PU-XS in bulk?

Yes. WC Safety supports B2B bulk orders for the MCR Safety 92752PU series across all sizes. Contact wcsafety.com for volume pricing, case quantities, and OSHA documentation support.
