- Abstract
The present study emphasizes on the comparison of E-glass reinforced High performance polyethylene (HPPE) and cotton based protective gloves (7 and 10 gauge). Cut resistant properties of these gloves were analysed as per test standard EN 388:2003. Further, the effect of repeated laundering and industrial use on performance of cut resistant properties of gloves was analysed. The result of the study showed that both types of gloves i.e. Eglass reinforced HPPE (7 and 10 gauge) as well as cotton provide excellent level of cut protection which is durable even up to 20 laundering cycles and applications in various industries. Although, E-glass reinforced HPPE have high level of abrasion resistance than E-glass reinforced Cotton. The comparative study shows that the cut resistance performance and durability of E-glass reinforced HPPE (7 gauge) gloves was found best in comparison to E-glass reinforced HPPE (10 gauge) gloves and least was shown by E-glass reinforced cotton gloves.
