Sleeve Protectors

Elevate Worker Safety & Confidence

Safety doesn't stop at hand protection for many industrial professions. For those working in industries such as packaging, small parts assembly, food service, metal banding, and even welding, leaving arms exposed is just as dangerous as not wearing protrctive gloves. Countless burns, scrapes and cuts can occur if arms aren't properly protected, which can lead to serious harm as well as decreased productivity. Protective sleeves cover and protect  arms and wrists from these damaging injuries in a variety of industries, and elevates safety compliance. 

+ What do Sleeves Protect Against?

Depending on the specific needs required, Superior Glove®,  TurtleSkin® and PIP® offer knitted sleeve covers in various lengths, configurations and materials to suit every application and they're a good way to keep workers safe while still allowing for movement.

Below are major categories of protection that sleeve protectors provide: 

1. Cut-Resistance

Nobody wants to deal with damaging and painful cuts or slices to their skin while working on a job site. It can put employees out of work and cost both the worker and company lost profit.

Our selection of cut-resistant sleeves offers continual barrier protection ranging from ASTM cut-level A2 to cut-level A9 with various options like optional thumbholes, moisture-wicking linings and more.

2. Heat-Resistance

Heat Resistance is key in occupations like welding, and our variety of sleeve protectors are made of flame and fire-retardant materials like Kevlar®, Protex® yarn, Coolmax® lining, composite knit yarns and composite filament fibers designed to provide excellent thermal and flame protection from high heat and open flame of welding torches.

3. Chemical-Resistance

When it comes to sanitation and fluid protection, you often need to wear something more than just gloves. The assortment of protective sleeves includes a chemical-resistant category to ensure optimal strike-through protection. Waterproof vinyl type sleeves with a blue color allows easily identification of any pieces that may come away during food processing. They are heat-sealed at both ends to keep sleeves in place and the vinyl can be easily sanitized for reuse.

4. Puncture-Resistance

Most industrial injuries begin with a puncture and lead to a cut or laceration, but with the correct personal protective equipment, these can all be avoided. The latest in this puncture and needlestick (fine gauge) protection technology is available from TurtleSkin®. This sleeve's design protects without snags, punctures, abrasions or cuts. The unique material offers a high level of cut and fine gauge puncture resistance (ASTM F2878 7.35 newtons) making it ideal for protecting wearers from needlestick injuries.
