Frequently Asked Questions About 12-400
What cut level is 12-400?
12-400 is listed with ANSI A4 cut resistance and EN 388 4X43D. Safety teams should match that rating to the actual hazard, task duration, and sharp-edge exposure in the work cell.
Is 12-400 touchscreen compatible?
Yes. 12-400 is marked touchscreen compatible so workers can use scanners, tablets, and control panels without removing the glove.
How should 12-400 be sized and trialed?
Use the listed size range of XS–2X and trial the glove with the actual task, tool, and shift length. The best fit preserves fingertip control without excess palm material or cuff movement.
