Cordova TUF-COR 3726 A4 Cut Resistant Gloves
Cordova TUF-COR 3726 cut resistant gloves combine a 13-gauge HPPE/synthetic fiber shell with two nitrile layers. The full blue inner coating provides splash resistance, while the black sandy palm coating adds a textured gripping surface. Sold by the pair, this glove suits buyers comparing ANSI A4 hand protection for material handling where cut exposure and contact with wet surfaces occur together.
Key Features
- Knitted shell follows the hand for component handling.
- Two coating layers combine coverage and palm texture.
- Sandy finish provides a gripping surface for workpieces.
- Cordova lists the glove as safe for food contact.
Applications
Cordova identifies glass handling, metal fabrication and recycling, along with steel industry, stamping and oil and gas work. Select this glove only where the task assessment supports A4 cut resistance and the coating is suitable for the materials being handled.
Understand the Protection
A4 is a laboratory cut-resistance classification, not a guarantee against injury. It does not establish protection from needles, powered blades, impact or every sharp edge. Match the glove to the object, handling force and exposure before use. Cut resistant gloves can still be cut or punctured.
The nitrile layers provide splash-resistant construction, but chemical selection requires more than the coating name. Identify the substance, concentration, contact time and working temperature, then obtain applicable compatibility data. The open cuff also allows liquid entry. Do not treat this glove as a sealed barrier for immersion.
Fit and Ordering
Choose the size shown in ASA’s ordering menu and check finger length, palm fit and grip before issuing gloves to a crew. Cordova manufactures 3726 in S through 2XL; the sizes offered by ASA may differ. Record the model and size on repeat orders to avoid substituting another TUF-COR variant.
Evaluate grip with representative workpieces under controlled conditions before routine use. Surface contamination, part shape and glove fit can change handling performance. Workers should be able to hold and release components without excess material bunching at the fingertips or restricting normal hand movement.
Care and Inspection
Cordova specifies washing with commercial laundry detergent in water no hotter than 50°C/122°F. Air dry or tumble dry without heat. Inspect the coating and shell before reuse, and replace gloves with cuts, worn coating or other damage. Follow workplace procedures for contaminated gloves; washing alone does not establish safe reuse.
Review the Cordova 3726 manufacturer specification PDF for construction, ordering and care details. Compare ASA’s cut resistant gloves and sleeves when a different protection level or coverage is needed.
