Product Information

Full details

The Portwest AP72 FD Grip 15 Nitrile Gauntlet is an essential protective tool for professionals working in high-demand food processing environments who require both dexterity and stringent hygiene compliance. These gloves excel at providing a reliable grip in oily or wet conditions while protecting against animal fats and chemical residues, though they are specifically designed for industrial food handling and may feel less insulating in extremely cold storage environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves dishwasher safe?

While they can withstand washing, industrial high-heat sterilization may degrade the material; hand washing is recommended.

Can I use these for handling hot items?

No, these are designed for chemical and grip protection, not heat insulation.

Why are the gloves blue?

The blue color is used to facilitate easy identification of potential glove fragments should they accidentally end up in the food production stream.

Do these contain latex?

No, they utilize a nitrile coating, making them suitable for those with latex sensitivities.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles and consult the brand's sizing chart to ensure a snug, dextrous fit.

Troubleshooting

Loss of grip performance

Wash the gloves thoroughly with a food-safe degreaser to remove any buildup of animal fats or lubricants.

Liner fraying or loose threads

Trim loose threads carefully with scissors, but if the weave is compromised, replace the glove to maintain safety standards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip performance in wet and oily environments
  • High level of tactile dexterity due to 15-gauge liner
  • Visible blue color supports food safety protocols
  • Resistant to animal fats and common food industry oils

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme temperature protection
  • Limited to food-processing specific applications
  • Requires regular inspection to ensure no degradation from harsh cleaners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves are ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging. To ensure longevity and hygiene, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Rinse with warm, soapy water after shifts involving heavy oil or grease. Ensure they are completely air-dried before the next use.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can degrade the nitrile coating.
  • Inspection: Before every shift, visually inspect the gloves for tears, punctures, or signs of material breakdown. Replace immediately if the barrier is compromised.
