Hand protection that also protects products: Brass Knuckle BKCR404

Brass Knuckle
December 7, 2016

When the job calls for heavy-duty cut protection, handy slip-resistance, and no-smudge surface protection, the Brass Knuckle® SmartCut™ BKCR404 is the glove for you. This glove is ideal for handling finer-surfaces and finished goods, like glass, polished metals, painted or powder coat surfaces, ceramics and more.

BKCR404 is thoughtfully designed—starting with upwinding of a high-quality, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber thread blend to ensure dexterity and tactile sensitivity. This HDPE knit fiber provides ANSI cut level 4 protection without bulk. The soft polyurethane coating over palms and fingers is extremely pliable, enhancing dry grip. When compared to nitrile and latex coatings, polyurethane offers the highest level of dexterity and improves ergonomics.

The carefully manufactured coating on the BKCR404 leaves minimal marking (residue)—even on glass, metal or other fine finishes. Proving to this benefit, the BKCR404 is approved by PPG—a Fortune 500 company and global supplier of paints, coatings, specialty materials, chemicals, glass, and fiberglass—on its low emissivity (or low-e glass coated) products due to minimal marking and easy clean up. 

Fit is an integral part of comfort, affecting both productivity and wearer compliance. These gloves reflect Brass Knuckle’s fit, form and function development methodology, wherein stitching, yarn combinations and coatings each must account for natural curvature of the hand and flex points.

When you need a high level of cut and slip resistance, but need to both maintain dexterity and protect the products that are being handled, there’s no better choice than BKCR404.
