Product Information

Full details

The Portwest AP74 FD Cut C13 Nitrile Glove is designed for professionals in the food industry who need reliable hand protection against cuts and abrasions while maintaining hygiene. Its key benefit is providing excellent cut resistance (Level C) and a superior grip in wet and dry conditions, thanks to its nitrile foam coating and HPPE liner. A minor caveat is that while designed for food safety, proper hygiene practices beyond glove use remain essential. These gloves are food-grade approved, resist greases and oils, and are CE certified.
