Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A661 CS Cut E18 Nitrile Glove is designed for professionals working with sharp objects or in environments with a high risk of hand injuries. Its key benefit is providing superior cut resistance (Level E) and excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, enabling confident and productive work. A potential caveat is that while offering high dexterity, the level of protection may not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty industrial cutting tasks requiring maximum thickness.

FAQs

What does Level E cut resistance mean?

Level E, according to EN ISO 21420:2020 standards, indicates a high level of resistance to cuts. It means the glove can withstand a significant amount of force before a blade can cut through the material. This is crucial when handling sharp objects.

Can these gloves be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the nitrile foam coating provides excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, making them suitable for tasks involving damp materials or in environments where moisture is present.

How durable is the reinforced thumb crotch?

The reinforced thumb crotch is designed to withstand the high friction and stress in this particular area, which is prone to wear during intensive use. This feature significantly enhances the glove's overall durability and lifespan.

Are these gloves suitable for all types of sharp materials?

The gloves offer Level E cut resistance, suitable for many sharp materials. However, for extremely heavy-duty industrial cutting tasks that involve continuous exposure to very sharp or abrasive edges, thicker, specialized gloves might be more appropriate.

How often should I replace these gloves?

Gloves should be replaced immediately if they show signs of damage such as cuts, tears, or significant wear. For daily use, a lifespan of several months to over a year can be expected depending on the intensity of the work and care provided.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with cold water and mild soap. Machine washing or using harsh detergents can damage the nitrile coating and the glove fibers, reducing their protective qualities and lifespan.

What materials are these gloves made from?

The gloves are constructed from a blend of HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene), Nylon, and Steel Fibre, combined with a nitrile foam coating.

Troubleshooting

Glove feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide and try a different size if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for dexterity and protection.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the gloves according to the care instructions. Grime and oils can accumulate on the nitrile coating, reducing its grip. If the coating is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.

Fingertips not registering on touchscreen

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. The touchscreen functionality relies on conductivity, which can be affected by dirt or moisture. Check that the glove is seated correctly on your fingers.

Visible wear or damage

Immediately cease use and replace the gloves if you notice any cuts, tears, or significant abrasion. Damaged gloves compromise safety and do not offer the advertised level of protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Level E cut resistance for enhanced hand safety.
  • Excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, reducing slips.
  • High dexterity due to the 18-gauge liner, allowing for precise movements.
  • Durable construction with a reinforced thumb crotch for longevity.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to breathable materials.
  • Touchscreen compatibility for seamless device operation on the job.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient protection for extremely heavy-duty industrial cutting scenarios.
  • The fine gauge may offer less cushioning compared to thicker gloves.
  • Nitrile coating can degrade with prolonged exposure to certain solvents.
  • Can be warmer than unlined gloves in very hot climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready for immediate use upon removal from packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit; a glove that is too loose can reduce dexterity and protection.

Compatibility: The Portwest A661 CS Cut E18 Nitrile Glove is designed to be compatible with most standard mobile touchscreen devices. The material on the fingertips allows for capacitive touch input.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
  • Maintenance: Regularly inspect gloves for any signs of wear, cuts, or holes. Replace gloves immediately if they are damaged to ensure continued protection.
  • Do Not Use: Avoid using solvents or chemicals not specified for the glove material, as this may degrade the coating and fabric. These gloves are not designed for protection against electrical hazards.
