Kimberly-Clark Professional Introduces New & Improved Cut Resistant Industrial Glove


ROSWELL, Ga. - Kimberly-Clark Professional has made one of its award-winning gloves even better. The newly re-branded* Jackson Safety G60 Purple Nitrile Cut Resistant Gloves now provide an even higher level of cut resistance with enhanced dexterity and comfort features.

The gloves are ideal for use in metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive assembly and for other applications that require protection against hand lacerations, such as handling sharp parts.

"Kimberly-Clark Professional has long been known for the development of ergonomically advanced products," explains Lori Shaffer, category manager, industrial gloves, Kimberly-Clark Professional. "With this introduction, we've taken a glove that's been recognized for quality and innovation and have enhanced performance with a superior level of cut protection."

To improve cost-in-use, the new G60 gloves are ambidextrous. The gloves feature a tapered coating on the fingertips to provide added durability without sacrificing dexterity. With a distinctive dotted palm to enhance grip and flexibility, the G60 gloves are made from Dyneema fabric to provide the highest level of breathability and comfort to help drive compliance.

"We have found that, when it comes to personal protective equipment such as gloves, comfort and design are central to improving compliance with wearing protocols," Shaffer added. "Users wear these gloves for protection, but they want them for comfort."

The gloves provide ANSI Level 3 cut resistance (1150g CPPT). They are available in sizes small through XXL.
