In many professional environments, protection against cut hazards is essential to ensure worker safety. Activities such as meat and fish processing, food preparation, the handling of sharp materials, and various industrial operations expose workers’ hands and bodies to blades and cutting tools on a daily basis.

To meet these needs, VAM expands its product offering with a new stainless steel mesh PPE range, designed to deliver high standards of protection, hygiene, and comfort in the most demanding working environments.

When Stainless Steel Mesh Protection Is Required

Stainless steel mesh PPE is used in all working environments where the risk of cuts is high and continuous. Industries such as food processing, meat processing, fish preparation, and professional catering require dedicated protective solutions capable of safeguarding operators without restricting freedom of movement.

Industrial and manufacturing sectors, the handling of sharp materials, laboratories, and sterilization facilities can also benefit from equipment designed to provide an effective barrier against mechanical hazards while maintaining high standards of practicality and hygiene.

The New VAM Stainless Steel Mesh Range

The new VAM stainless steel mesh range has been developed to provide professional protective solutions made from stainless steel chainmail, a material renowned for its outstanding durability, ease of cleaning, and long service life.

The flexible mesh construction allows for excellent freedom of movement, while the strength of stainless steel provides enhanced protection during the most demanding tasks. In addition, its suitability for food contact makes these products particularly well suited to the food processing industry and all applications requiring the highest standards of hygiene.

INOX GLOVE: Cut-Resistant Protection for the Hands

The new INOX GLOVE is a reversible five-finger cut-resistant glove made from stainless steel chainmail, designed to provide protection, comfort, and practicality during the most demanding cutting operations.

One of its key advantages is its reversible design, allowing the glove to be worn on either the right or left hand with just a few simple adjustments. The adjustable fabric strap, underglove, and tightening strap ensure a secure and comfortable fit, even during extended periods of use.

Colour-coded straps allow for quick size identification, making inventory management easier in companies, laboratories, and production facilities.

From a regulatory perspective, INOX GLOVE is classified as Category II Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and complies with EN ISO 21420:2020, EN 14328:2005, and EN 1082-1 standards. It is also suitable for food contact, making it an ideal solution for food processing, industrial applications, and technical environments where a high level of cut protection is required.

INOX APRON: Upper Body Protection for High-Risk Cutting Applications

Alongside the glove, the new range also includes the INOX APRON, a stainless steel chainmail apron designed to protect the upper body during tasks involving a high risk of cuts.

Made from high-strength stainless steel, it features an adjustable fabric cross-back harness that provides stability and comfort throughout the working day. Its dimensions are designed to offer extensive coverage without restricting the operator’s freedom of movement, ensuring safe and comfortable use even during prolonged tasks.

The apron is classified as Category II Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), is suitable for food contact, and complies with EN 13988 Level 2.
