FAQs

What is Level B cut resistance?

Level B cut resistance, as per EN 388 standards, indicates a moderate level of protection against cuts from sharp objects. It is suitable for tasks with a low to medium risk of cuts.

Are these gloves suitable for handling very sharp knives?

These gloves offer Level B cut resistance, which is designed for low-risk cut protection. For handling very sharp knives or in high-risk cutting scenarios, gloves with higher cut resistance levels (e.g., Level C, D, or F) are recommended.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the material integrity and coating.

How long do the gloves typically last?

The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency and intensity of use. With proper care and for tasks within their intended risk level, they can last a considerable amount of time. Inspect them regularly for wear and tear.

What does ANSI/ISEA 105 A2 mean?

ANSI/ISEA 105 A2 indicates the glove meets the American National Standards Institute standard for cut resistance, specifically level A2, which is comparable to the European EN 388 Level B.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The gloves are not rated as waterproof. While the PU coating offers some resistance to liquids, they are primarily designed for protection against cuts and abrasions, not for immersion in water or hazardous liquids.

Can I use these gloves for tasks involving heat?

These gloves have an EN 407 rating of X1XXXX, indicating they offer minimal protection against heat transfer. They are not intended for handling hot objects or working near significant heat sources.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A proper fit is essential for dexterity and protection. Refer to the sizing chart and try a different size if necessary.

Reduced grip after getting wet or dirty

Clean the gloves as per the care instructions. The PU coating's grip can be affected by moisture and contaminants. Allow them to dry completely.

Noticeable wear on the palm coating

This indicates significant abrasion. While the coating adds durability, it will wear over time with heavy use. Consider replacing the gloves if the coating is significantly degraded or if cut protection is compromised.

Hands feel sweaty or uncomfortable

While designed for breathability, prolonged use in hot conditions can still lead to sweat. Ensure the gloves are properly dried after each use. For extremely demanding conditions, consider gloves with higher breathability ratings or take frequent breaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good protection against low-risk cuts and abrasions.
  • Excellent dexterity and grip due to the PU palm coating.
  • Comfortable and breathable for prolonged use.
  • Snug fit allows for precise handling of small objects.

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-risk cutting or heavy-duty industrial applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply remove them from their packaging and put them on. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit, as this is crucial for maintaining dexterity and effectiveness.

Compatibility: The Portwest A620 LR Cut PU Palm Gloves are designed for general hand protection in various work environments. They are compatible with tasks involving sharp objects, abrasive materials, and situations requiring improved grip. However, they are not intended for use with heavy machinery, extreme impact hazards, or exposure to harsh chemicals.

Care: To maintain the integrity and lifespan of the gloves:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Avoid drying in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can degrade the material. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a way that prevents creasing or distortion.
