Honeywell Tuff-Coat KV200 Kevlar Latex Coated Gloves
Honeywell Tuff-Coat KV200 gloves combine a seamless Kevlar liner with a blue natural rubber latex coating for cut-resistant handling. The knit construction supports hand movement, while the coated palm provides a gripping surface for handling parts and materials. ASA SKU PFGKV200 is sold by the pair in sizes S through XL.

Manufacturer-Listed Performance
Honeywell lists cut resistance as ANSI/ASTM F1790-97 Level 2. This is a legacy classification; it should not be relabeled ANSI A2. The manufacturer also lists abrasion resistance as ASTM 3389-05 Level 3 and EN 388 Level 1. Those abrasion results describe separate test systems and are not a complete EN 388 performance code.
Use these published ratings when comparing gloves for the task. Cut resistance does not mean cut-proof protection, and the listed information does not establish a needle-puncture rating. Neither Kevlar nor a latex coating alone establishes chemical, heat or electrical protection.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires employers to select appropriate hand protection for workplace hazards. Selection must consider glove performance, the task, conditions present and duration of use. This requirement guides the employer's selection process; it is not OSHA approval of the KV200.
Selecting and Inspecting Your Gloves
Choose a size that permits finger movement without excess material interfering with handling. Check grip using representative parts under actual working conditions before assigning the glove to a task. Evaluate sharp edges, handling force and exposure duration when selecting cut protection.
Inspect the liner, coating and cuff before each use. Replace gloves with holes, damaged knit, worn coating or contamination that compromises protection. Assess entanglement hazards around moving machinery; gloves do not replace machine guarding or safe work procedures.
Contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. Workers with latex sensitivity should select an appropriate alternative. Compare other cut resistant gloves and sleeves when different materials or additional arm coverage are needed.
The coated palm does not make the entire glove waterproof. Keep liquids and contaminants from reaching exposed skin, and select separately evaluated protection when liquid exposure is part of the job. Confirm that the selected size stays comfortable throughout the required range of hand movement.
