The document describes fabrics made by NorFab called CUTPRO Natural that are designed for cut protection in industrial work environments. The fabrics combine Kevlar with stainless steel and fiberglass to provide strength, thermal capability, cut resistance, durability, and protection against sharp objects. Garments made from CUTPRO Natural fabrics can provide up to level 4 cut protection, level 5 puncture resistance, and level 3 abrasion resistance. The fabrics have inherent flame resistance and the appearance of natural Kevlar to mask the presence of stainless steel and fiberglass yarns.

specially engineered fabrics designed
to protect without compromising
comfort and appearance. NorFab’s
new CUTPRO™ Natural line of fabrics
employ unique NorFab yarn designs
that combine the strength, high thermal
capability, cut resistance, and durability
of DuPont™ Kevlar® with the hardness of
stainless steel and fiberglass. The unique
composition of CUTPRO™ Natural
provides outstanding protection against
hazards posed by sharp objects and
revolving or reciprocating blades.
