FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling very hot or cold objects?

These gloves are designed for cut resistance and grip, not for thermal protection. They are not rated for protection against extreme hot or cold temperatures.

What does 'Level C' cut resistance mean?

Level C cut resistance, according to EN ISO 13997 standards, indicates a moderate level of protection against sharp objects. It signifies that the glove can withstand a certain force before being cut through, offering a reliable safety standard for many industrial tasks.

How many gloves are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 pairs of Portwest AP18 SG Cut C15 Eco Nitrile Gloves.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cold or lukewarm water with mild detergent. Machine washing may damage the coating and affect the glove's performance and lifespan.

Are the recycled materials used in these gloves safe for prolonged skin contact?

Yes, the gloves are designed and tested for safe prolonged skin contact. The recycled PET yarn and nitrile coating meet relevant safety standards.

Do these gloves offer protection against chemicals?

These gloves are primarily designed for mechanical hazards like cuts and abrasion. They are not specifically rated for chemical resistance. For chemical protection, please refer to gloves designed for that purpose.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart to find the best fit. A snug fit is crucial for dexterity and protection.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip or performance after cleaning

Ensure gloves are completely dry before use. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Air dry thoroughly away from heat.

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Verify you have selected the correct size. For an initial snug fit, wear the gloves for a short period to allow them to conform to your hands. If discomfort persists, consider trying a larger size if dexterity allows.

Touchscreen functionality is intermittent

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. The coating can sometimes interfere with touchscreens if heavily soiled. Try cleaning the screen you are interacting with as well.

Unpleasant odor after prolonged use

The anti-microbial finish should minimize odor, but if persistent, ensure hands are washed before wearing and gloves are aired out properly after each use. Wash according to care instructions if necessary.
