nylon, HPPE, fiberglass, and spandex.
The current Ansell U.S. sheet identifies
nylon, INTERCEPT™ Cut Resistance Technology,
and spandex.
A technology name is not a complete quantitative fiber
declaration. The updated terminology does not prove
removal of fiberglass or establish a fiberglass-free
product. Obtain manufacturer confirmation when the exact
blend or reinforcement construction is a controlled requirement.

that the selected SOSCleanroom case is a vending-pack SKU.
Ansell glove sizing guide
Use the printable Ansell hand-placement chart as a fitting
reference, then confirm fit in the actual 11-751 glove.
A resized screen image is not a measuring template.
Open the printable Ansell glove sizing chart
- Print the chart at its intended scale without automatic page fitting or resizing.
- Place the right hand palm down with fingers together, using the blue index-finger alignment line and thumb-crotch reference shown.
- Read the colored line at the outside edge of the hand, then verify finger movement, palm fit, and cuff security in a sample glove.

General glove standard by manufacturing period:
The current declaration distinguishes the following production:
| Manufacturing period |
General glove requirements |
| March 18, 2022 through September 7, 2026 |
EN ISO 21420:2020 |
| From September 8, 2026 |
EN ISO 21420:2020+A1:2024 |
Both periods retain the 4X43C mechanical marking.
Earlier production is covered separately in the linked
declaration. Match documentation to the supplied gloves;
purchase date alone does not establish manufacturing date.
EN 388 code breakdown: 4X43C
| Position |
Rating |
Performance area |
| First digit | 4 | Abrasion resistance |
| Second position | X | No circular-blade cut level reported; use the ISO cut letter as the reference |
| Third digit | 4 | Tear resistance |
| Fourth digit | 3 | Mechanical puncture resistance |
| Final letter | C | ISO 13997 cut classification |
Interpretation:
X is not a zero score. The cut reference here is C.
No impact-protection P is included. Mechanical results
apply to the tested palm construction and should not
automatically be extended to differently constructed
backs or cuffs.
ANSI rating interpretation
| ANSI rating |
Practical interpretation |
| Cut A4 |
Higher standardized cut classification than A1 or A2, subject to the actual edge, force, and handling conditions. |
| Abrasion 6 |
High standardized abrasion performance; not a guaranteed number of shifts or hours of use. |
| Puncture 4 |
General mechanical puncture performance; not a hypodermic-needle or fine-sharp certification. |
ANSI and EN use separate classification systems.
Do not numerically equate ANSI puncture 4 with EN puncture 3,
or interpret abrasion performance as additional cut protection.
Material, grip, and durability performance profile
| Component |
Technical role |
Handling consideration |
| INTERCEPT™ yarn system |
Cut-resistant construction |
Supports the published A4 / EN ISO C ratings |
| Polyurethane palm |
Grip and abrasion-contact layer |
Evaluate control on the actual workpiece; no chemical barrier is established |
| 10-gauge liner |
Protective knitted glove body |
Balances fit, movement, and cut-resistant yarn construction |
| Black appearance |
Visual soil and stain masking |
Does not remove contamination or reveal all wear |
| Touchscreen compatibility |
Device interaction while gloved |
Check response on the site's actual devices and operating conditions |
Durability distinction:
Dirt masking and abrasion performance are different.
The black color can hide marks; the abrasion rating
describes a standardized test. Neither establishes a
fixed replacement interval or proves that worn gloves
retain their original protection.

| Touchscreen-compatible mechanical protection |
Antistatic, electrical, thermal, or impact protection |
| Black industrial handling construction |
Silicone-free, fiberglass-free, sterile, or cleanroom-specific qualification |
Protection requirements take priority over convenience
and appearance. Evaluate fit, handling control, device
response, and replacement criteria before site-wide adoption.
Inspection before use
- Check the PU coating for cuts, punctures, peeling, worn-through areas, and loss of grip.
- Inspect fingertips, the thumb web, palm, and other high-contact zones.
- Check the liner for holes, broken yarns, abnormal fraying, or excessive thinning.
- Do not confuse the intentionally uncoated back with damage.
- Confirm cuff security and acceptable touchscreen response when device use is required.
- Remove gloves from service when contamination, damage, poor fit, or reduced grip makes continued use unsuitable.
Inspection limitation:
Visual inspection cannot measure remaining cut resistance.
Do not expect a person to identify individual fiber types
by appearance, and do not use black coloring to judge
cleanliness.
Storage and handling notes
- Store dry at room temperature in the original packaging.
- Protect from direct sunlight, ozone, excessive heat, sharp objects, and incompatible chemicals.
- Keep the glove interior and device-contact areas appropriately clean for the task.
- Follow site procedures for inspection, reuse, laundering, and disposal.
Washing guidance:
Ansell lists 40°C / 104°F. Use the package care
markings for the permitted method and cycle count.
The temperature entry alone does not establish three-cycle
or unlimited reuse. Reassess gloves already worn in
service after cleaning.
Cleanroom and controlled-environment note
HyFlex 11-751 is an industrial cut-resistant glove.
The reviewed manufacturer documents do not establish
sterile packaging, cleanroom processing, or quantitative
particle and extractables specifications.
Evaluate particulate and fiber release, residues, packaging,
laundering, coating condition, silicone restrictions,
static requirements, and gowning procedures before
controlled-environment use. OEKO-TEX® information is
not a substitute for these process requirements.
Ansell lists both antistatic and silicone-free as No.
Technical FAQs
What is the cut rating of HyFlex 11-751?
ANSI A4 and EN ISO C, with EN 388 mechanical marking 4X43C.
What are the abrasion and puncture ratings?
ANSI abrasion level 6 and puncture level 4.
The EN marking separately reports abrasion 4 and
mechanical puncture 3.
Is the glove touchscreen compatible?
Yes. Ansell lists touchscreen compatibility.
Confirm response on the actual workplace device.
What is the coating material?
Black polyurethane over the palm. The current
manufacturer sheet also lists thumb-crotch reinforcement.
Does the liner contain fiberglass?
Prior product information lists nylon, HPPE, fiberglass,

INTERCEPT™, and spandex wording instead.
This does not establish fiberglass-free construction;
confirm exact composition when required.
Is it silicone-free or antistatic?
No. Ansell lists both attributes as No.
Touchscreen compatibility does not change that designation.
Does dirt masking extend safe glove life?
It changes the appearance of soil and wear.
Continued use must be determined by condition,
contamination, fit, grip, and the approved task.
What comes in a case?
144 pairs of the selected size, listed as
12 pairs per bag and 12 bags per carton.
Numeric sizes are 5 through 11.
Critical use limitations
HyFlex 11-751 provides documented mechanical hand protection,
not universal protection against every industrial hazard.
Evaluate edge sharpness, contact force, abrasion, puncture
geometry, fluids, grip, device use, material restrictions,
and replacement criteria. Do not treat A4 cut resistance
as protection from moving blades or machinery entanglement,
or use the glove outside its documented chemical, thermal,
electrical, and process-qualification boundaries.
