UCi KKSL Cut Resistant Kevlar Sleeve
A UCi KKSL Cut Resistant Kevlar Sleeve provides the integral combination of contact heat and high level cut-resistance required in professions like welding, blacksmithing, glass handling and automotive manufacturing. They are available in four different sizes for varying degrees of arm protection based on your application and environment. The KKSL Sleeve is also contact heat resistant when handling material up to 100°C for fifteen seconds.
What's Included?
- 1 x UCi Cut Resistant Sleeve
Which Size Is Right for Me?
UCi KKSL Sleeves are sold in four different sizes; these sizes dictate how far up the arm the sleeve runs. This is because different environments and situations ultimately require varying degrees of protection. To find the right size for you, simply measure from the knuckle up your straightened arm to the point where you want the sleeve to end.
Please see the list below to view the sizes available:

Protection Ratings and Levels
A sleeve is only as good as the protection it gives your arm. Please view the information and tables below for more detail.
EN 388
EN 388 works with sleeves in the same way it works with gloves. It determines the sleeves performance when used whilst working in and around mechanical machinery by measuring abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
| Standard | Resistance Level |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 1 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 3 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 3 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | Level C |

EN 407
EN 407 covers products that are sold as flame or heat resistant. There are a wide range of tests involved that determine whether or not a product provides a suitable level of protection in high temperature situations.
| Standard | Resistance Level |
| Burning Resistance | N/A |
| Contact Heat Resistance | Level 1 (100°C) |
| Convective Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Small Splash of Molten Metal | N/A |
| Large Splash of Molten Metal | N/A |
Suitable Applications and Professions
A sleeve providing heat and a high level of cut resistance has a wide scope for professional and personal use. Anyone handling sharp material whilst coming into contact with high temperatures should be wearing one. Please view the list below for a few examples:
What Are the Benefits of Kevlar?
Kevlar is a synthetic polymer used in the manufacture of protective and cut proof safety wear. It is spun into ropes of fabric and used as a stuffing inside gloves and sleeves to protect against incisions and cuts. It is traditionally lighter and thinner than other similar compounds, meaning it promotes dexterity and precision when used in gloves.
