Abstract
PPTA is a high-performance fibre with premium mechanical and heat-resistant properties. This study focused on developing cut-resistant gloves from recycled PPTA fibre. The cut resistance of knitted glove, from virgin and recycled PPTA fibre yarn with/without steel core, was evaluated to determine the performance of the glove. The fibre and yarn parameters were studied to understand the underlying factors which aided in premium cut-resistant properties of gloves manufactured from recycled fibres - higher than that of gloves manufactured from virgin PPTA fibres.
