Cut Protection
Medium to Extreme Risk
Work gloves designed to offer any level of protection, by law, must be tested to EN388 which is a globally recognised standard. Gloves are tested for their resistance to abrasion, cut, tear and puncture and the combined score represents the overall protective value of the glove.
The score given for cut is the most relevant in high-risk environments; the highest rating is ‘F’.
When it comes to cut protection, MCR’s range starts at level ‘B’ and goes right through to ‘F’ . They represent this with a simple scale measuring from Medium through to Extreme protection. This is a quick and easy reference to help you navigate the range.
Levels of protection are determined by components and glove construction. Cut fibre yarns are used in conjunction with coatings and for some gloves at the extreme end of the scale, leather reinforcements are used.
The Construction Industry is one of the biggest users of impact protection gloves. Heavy objects are an obvious hazard and although safety regulations are stringent and personnel are properly trained; there is always risk of hand injury. Learn more about Cut-Protection Gloves
Armoury for Hands
MCR Safety’s impact protection gloves have robust armour to shield the back of your hand. It’s made from TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber), an ideal material for impact protection because it’s incredibly tough but also surprisingly supple.
It’s applied in panels like the scales of a crocodile so it can flex with the hand through your full range of motion.

The exterior quick fill is available as a 1L and 4L tub for applications both small and large. The Quick Fill launch is part of a major rebrand and product reorganisation for Toupret. The exterior surfaces collection is now signified with an orange colourway whilst the interior surfaces range is branded in red, offering a striking shelf point of difference. With the goal of making a great quality filling job simpler and quicker for professionals, Toupret also wanted to make it much easier for tradespeople to choose the best product for any given task. As such, many of the products have been renamed to make their application as clear as possible. However, Toupret knows it has a loyal customer base and so the old product names remain discreetly on the packaging to ensure familiarity for all whilst introducing new simplified product descriptions – for example ‘exterior surfaces Quick Fill will appear alongside the historical ‘Touprelex’ product name. Both Quick Fill products are available to purchase from trade distributors nationwide.
