The range of gloves is colour coded to illustrate different levels of cut protection and also numbered for ease of use and efficiency.

Arco’s popular Neoprene glove range will also be on the stand. Made from the physically tough synthetic material Neoprene, these gloves offer high levels of protection against a variety of chemical  and cut hazards. With Arco’s experience of product innovation, wearers can trust that the Cut Control System gloves and the Neoprene glove range provide excellent levels of comfort, durability and safety.
