FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot foods?

These gloves are designed for grip and protection against grease and oils, not for high-temperature resistance. Do not use them for handling hot items.

Can I reuse these gloves?

Yes, provided they are cleaned properly after each use and show no signs of wear or damage. Follow the care instructions for cleaning and drying.

What does '15 gauge' refer to?

Gauge refers to the thickness of the knitted liner. A 15-gauge liner indicates a fine knit, which contributes to the glove's lightweight and flexible feel.

Are these gloves compliant with food safety standards?

Yes, the Portwest AP71 FD Grip 15 Nitrile Gloves are approved for safe food handling and meet stringent hygiene requirements.

How do I dispose of used gloves?

Dispose of used gloves according to local regulations for industrial waste. Avoid flushing them down drains.

What is the primary benefit of the nitrile foam coating?

The nitrile foam coating provides an exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions, making it easier and safer to handle slippery or greasy food items.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if available. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and dexterity.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the glove surface as per care instructions. Oils and residues can accumulate and reduce grip effectiveness. If significant wear is visible, it may be time to replace them.

Skin irritation after wearing

While nitrile is generally hypoallergenic, some individuals may experience sensitivities. Ensure hands are clean and dry before wearing. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.

Gloves showing signs of wear (tears, holes)

Immediately discontinue use and replace the gloves to maintain food safety and prevent contamination. These gloves are intended for protection and should be replaced when compromised.
