Abstract
This research is to utilize accounting cost benefit analysis for manufacturing of economically cost-effective cut resistantgloves knitted from core spun yarns made up of nylon and polyester with E-glass as core. E-glass has a significantimpact on the cut resistance and abrasion resistance of the gloves. The gloves are knitted by using core spun yarns,and tested for their physical, cut & abrasion resistant properties. Economic characteristics of final product are criticallyobserved and analysed through cost benefit analysis. Results elaborate that Polyester/E-glass hand gloves have spe-cial mechanical properties like Abrasion resistance and Blade cut resistance. Instead, Nylon/E-glass hand gloves havegood air permeability. Cost benefit analysis reveal that the outcomes are comparable to functional requirements withinlow cost.
