Tegera 8846 Ultra-Thin Cut Level F Gloves with ATEX Approval

The thinnest cut F glove in the Tegera range, with antistatic properties

Tegera 8846 is described by Ejendals as the world’s thinnest F/ANSI Cut A7 glove, knitted at 21 gauge with CRF Omni technology and HPPE cut protection fibre. It is built for high-precision work with very small, sharp objects, and it has a PU coating that grips in dry, moist and slightly oily conditions. The sheet states that the glove is approved for use in ATEX-protected work environments.

The antistatic requirement is documented with EN 16350:2014 and a printed resistance of R below 1.0 x 10 to the power 8 ohm. The palm is dipped in polyurethane, there is a reinforcement between thumb and index finger and touchscreen functionality at the fingertips. It is a light-weight Category II glove in black with a knitwrist textile cuff.

Technical specifications

Sizes and article numbers

Cut F, antistatic and what that means for selection

Level F is the highest letter on the EN ISO 13997 scale used in EN 388, and the printed TDM value is 33.1 N. The EN 388 code 2X42F gives abrasion 2, blade cut not tested, tear 4 and puncture 2. This is a cut and precision glove, not a heavy abrasion glove, so a high abrasion rating is not to be expected from a 21 gauge liner.

If your work involves potentially explosive atmospheres, check the printed antistatic value and the ATEX statement against your zone requirements and site rules, because the glove is only one part of an antistatic equipment set. The sheet also gives an ANSI/ISEA cut value of A7 in its description. Choose the size carefully: the glove is thin and any slack at the fingertips defeats the dexterity it is chosen for.

Handling a thin high-performance glove

Because the liner is thin, avoid contact with welding spatter, hot surfaces and open flame. No heat rating is printed on the sheet. Use the touchscreen fingertips to operate handheld tablets on inspection rounds without removing the glove.

Inspect the polyurethane coating regularly. Once it wears through to the liner, abrasion resistance drops quickly. Wash only as the label instructs and let the pair dry naturally, away from heat.

Where very fine cut protection matters

The sheet lists assembly, metalwork, sheet-metal work and the paper industry, with automotive repair, building and construction, and pulp and paper as industries. The thin form suits small-part assembly, sheet-edge handling, instrument fitting and inspection tasks around pumps, panels and cable trays, where gloves must be sensitive enough to feel small fasteners.

Selection and care notes

Use the glove where fine, sharp parts are handled and a thin glove helps dexterity. The ATEX approval and antistatic data apply to the glove as tested, so check the requirement of the hazardous area classification and the site rules before use, and keep the glove clean, because contamination can change the antistatic behaviour. Replace it when the coating or fibre is damaged.
