Schwer Cut Resistant Sleeves CORE — ANSI A5 18-inch, 2 Pairs, Flame-Resistant Aramid

Schwer CORE ANSI A5 Cut Resistant Sleeves (2 pairs) are 18-inch, flame-resistant arm protectors engineered to combine A5 cut defense with aramid heat resistance for safer, all-day wear.

These Schwer S081 sleeves pair high cut performance with flame-resisting aramid fibers to give extended arm coverage without fiberglass or PFAS. Knit from aramid, stainless steel filament, and composite yarns, the sleeves provide ANSI A5-level cut resistance while the aramid substrate expands under heat to slow flame transfer. At 18 inches long with a thumbhole and strong stretch, the sleeves stay in place and adapt to most arm sizes for a dependable barrier during tough tasks.

How do these sleeves guard against cuts during handling and fabrication?

The Schwer CORE sleeves use a blend of stainless steel wire and engineered filaments to meet ANSI A5 cut resistance, which significantly reduces the risk of lacerations from sharp edges and blades. The knit construction balances protection and flexibility so you can grip and manipulate parts without compromising safety.

• ANSI Level A5 cut protection suitable for glass, sheet metal, and sharp tools
• Stainless steel filament woven with composite yarns for durable edge resistance
• Flexible knit allows dexterity for precise handling and assembly tasks

What flame resistance does the aramid material provide?

Aramid fibers in the Schwer sleeves char and swell when exposed to heat, forming a thicker barrier that helps delay heat transfer. This action does not melt or drip, providing crucial extra seconds to move away from a heat source while maintaining fabric integrity.

• Aramid fabric swells under flame to create an insulating layer
• No melting, dripping, or flaming fabric particles to increase burn risk
• Keeps material pliable so you retain arm mobility after brief heat exposure

Are these sleeves comfortable for long shifts and sensitive skin?

Schwer designed the S081 without fiberglass or PFAS to reduce irritation and allergies common with some protective fabrics. The knit construction stretches to fit and includes a thumbhole to keep the sleeve from riding up, making them suitable for extended wear across varied tasks.

• Fiberglass-free and PFAS-free for reduced skin irritation
• 18-inch length and thumbhole anchor the sleeve during movement
• Elastic knit adapts to most arm sizes for sustained comfort

Which jobs and environments benefit most from these sleeves?

These sleeves are built for workplaces where sharp edges and occasional sparks or flames are present. They fit into PPE kits for metalworking, glass handling, food processing with sharp tools, and industrial maintenance where both laceration and heat risks exist.

• Ideal for glass handling, metal fabrication, and assembly lines
• Useful in HVAC, automotive, warehousing, and food-processing settings
• Practical for outdoor tasks like gardening or pruning where cuts occur

Who is this for: The Schwer CORE ANSI A5 sleeves are intended for tradespeople, technicians, and production workers who need reliable arm protection against sharp materials and incidental heat exposure without sacrificing comfort. Choose these sleeves when you want a balance of high cut resistance, flame-retardant aramid performance, and itch-free wear for routine industrial and maintenance tasks.
