Confront the sharpest industrial hazards with absolute confidence. The heavy-duty BLADEGUARD® series acts as an impenetrable shield, delivering uncompromising cut, slash, and abrasion protection explicitly engineered for sheet metal stamping, glass manufacturing, and heavy steel handling.
When a single slip can result in a catastrophic injury, standard cut resistance is simply not enough. SQG’s BLADEGUARD® technology is designed for the most brutal mechanical environments. By reinforcing high-density polyethylene (HPPE) with continuous stainless-steel core filaments and specialized fiberglass wrapping, we achieve the absolute highest echelons of ANSI and EN388 cut defense (up to Level A9). Built specifically for high-risk sectors like commercial glass processing, heavy metal fabrication, and meat processing, the BLADEGUARD® series ensures that your frontline workforce remains completely shielded against severe slashes, punctures, and sharp-edge impacts.
Standard cut gloves are designed for general purpose, light-to-medium risks. BLADEGUARD® is our “heavy armor” series. It utilizes multi-core technology, weaving together robust stainless steel, fiberglass, and HPPE to stop severe, high-pressure slicing motions that would instantly destroy a normal glove.
Absolutely. Glass manufacturing is one of the primary applications for this series. The dense yarn matrix prevents razor-sharp glass edges from penetrating the fabric, while specialized thick crinkle latex or rubber coatings can be added to provide a vice-like grip on heavy, smooth glass panes.
Instead of just chopping up bits of metal into the fabric, BLADEGUARD® spins its protective yarn around a continuous, unbroken strand of microscopic stainless-steel wire. This acts as a literal chainmail skeleton inside the glove, providing exceptional defense against heavy blade strikes.
No. SQG utilizes an advanced “core-wrapping” spinning technique. The abrasive steel and fiberglass materials form the inner skeleton of the yarn, but they are completely wrapped in soft, skin-friendly synthetic fibers. The metal never actually touches the worker’s skin.
While they are thicker and more robust than ultra-thin models, we use 3D ergonomic knitting machines that map the natural curve of the hand. This prevents the thick fabric from bunching up at the knuckles, allowing workers to grip heavy tools securely without fighting the glove.
It’s important to distinguish the hazards. BLADEGUARD® is designed to stop slashing and broad puncture hazards (like a jagged piece of steel or a knife blade). It is not specifically rated for fine, needle-stick punctures (like medical syringes), which require different specialized armor.
Yes. The immense cut resistance is built into the physical steel and HPPE fibers, not applied as a temporary chemical coating. Heavy industrial facilities can aggressively wash the BLADEGUARD® series to remove oil, metal shavings, and dirt, dramatically extending their service life.
As a B2B manufacturer, we offer the BLADEGUARD® series across multiple extreme ratings. We generally recommend ANSI A5 for heavy appliance manufacturing, A7 for aggressive metal stamping, and the maximum A9 rating for extreme hazard environments like heavy blade sharpening and pulp/paper slitting.
