Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A199 Antistatic PU Palm Gloves are designed for professionals working with sensitive electronics or in precision tasks where static electricity is a concern. They offer reliable anti-static protection and excellent dexterity, significantly reducing the risk of component damage and workflow interruptions. While they provide superior protection and comfort, their primary limitation is that they are intended for dry conditions and may not offer protection against chemical or liquid hazards.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling sharp objects?

The PU coating offers some abrasion resistance, but these gloves are not designed for protection against sharp objects. Use cut-resistant gloves for such applications.

Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?

Yes, the material allows for good tactile sensitivity, making them generally suitable for operating touchscreen devices.

How often should I replace these anti-static gloves?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Inspect for wear and tear, loss of anti-static properties, or damage. Typically, replace them when performance or comfort is compromised.

Do these gloves provide electrical insulation?

No, these gloves are designed for anti-static properties (dissipating charge) and do not provide electrical insulation against shock.

What does '13-gauge' refer to?

'13-gauge' refers to the density of the knit of the fabric. A higher gauge number generally means a finer knit, resulting in a thinner and more dextrous glove.

Are these gloves washable?

Yes, they can be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Air dry them completely. Avoid machine washing or drying.

What is the primary benefit of the PU palm coating?

The PU palm coating provides an enhanced grip, especially on smooth surfaces, and increases the glove's abrasion resistance for better durability during handling tasks.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff or lose flexibility.

Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. Avoid storing them in extreme temperatures. If stiffness persists, consider replacing them as the material may have degraded.

Reduced tactile sensitivity.

Verify you have the correct size. A glove that is too tight can restrict finger movement. Ensure the PU coating is not excessively worn.

Static discharge issues persist.

Confirm the gloves are clean and free from contaminants that could impede conductivity. Ensure the entire hand is covered by the glove's anti-static properties. Check that the environment itself meets ESD standards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable anti-static protection for sensitive electronics.
  • Offers excellent dexterity and tactile feel for precision work.
  • Durable PU coating enhances grip and abrasion resistance.
  • Breathable and seamless liner ensures comfort during long shifts.
  • Helps reduce the risk of costly static-related product failures.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for dry environments; not suitable for wet or chemical hazards.
  • May not provide insulation against electrical shock.
  • Limited impact or heavy-duty protection.
  • Durability might be reduced with prolonged exposure to abrasive materials beyond normal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit, as this is crucial for maintaining dexterity and effectiveness.

Compatibility: The Portwest A199 gloves are specifically designed for use in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive environments. They are compatible with most standard electronic assembly and testing procedures. They are not intended for protection against chemical, thermal, or high-voltage electrical hazards.

Care: To maintain the anti-static properties and longevity of the gloves:

  • Gently wash with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  • Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water.
  • Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a machine dryer.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct UV light to preserve material integrity.
