Frequently Asked Questions About 12-420
What cut level is 12-420?
12-420 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 12-420 touchscreen compatible?
Yes. 12-420 is marked touchscreen compatible so workers can use scanners, tablets, and control panels without removing the glove.
How should 12-420 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.
How long does 12-420 last?
