Product Information

Full details

The Portwest AP65 NPR Pro Nitrile Foam gloves are designed for individuals engaged in general handling tasks who require reliable hand protection that balances comfort and durability. The key benefit is their superior grip and abrasion resistance in both wet and dry conditions, ensuring productivity and safety. A potential caveat is their specific suitability for general handling, with less emphasis on chemical protection. These gloves feature a premium foam nitrile coating for excellent grip and abrasion resistance, an anti-microbial finish for freshness, and a 15-gauge nylon and elastane liner for dexterity and breathability.

FAQs

What type of tasks are these gloves best suited for?

These gloves are ideal for general handling, assembly, logistics, warehousing, and tasks requiring good grip and abrasion resistance in dry or damp conditions.

Can I use these gloves for protection against chemicals?

No, these gloves are not rated for chemical protection (EN374: No). They are designed for mechanical risks.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing guide, typically based on hand circumference. A proper fit is crucial for comfort, dexterity, and protection.

Are these gloves suitable for very hot weather?

The gloves are breathable due to the nylon and elastane liner, which helps manage moisture. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat might still cause discomfort.

How often should I replace these gloves?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, such as holes, tears, or worn-out grip. Replace them when performance is compromised.

Does the anti-microbial finish wash off?

The anti-microbial treatment is designed to be durable. Regular washing with mild soap and water according to care instructions should help maintain its effectiveness.

What does the EN388 rating 4131A mean?

This rating indicates: 4 for Abrasion Resistance, 1 for Blade Cut Resistance, 3 for Tear Resistance, and 1 for Puncture Resistance. The 'A' indicates an additional test for circular blade cut resistance.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to sizing charts and try different available sizes (XS, M, L, XL) if available.

Reduced grip after use

Clean the gloves with mild soap and water to remove any grease, dirt, or residues that might be affecting the nitrile foam coating.

Gloves feel damp inside despite being dry outside

The elastane liner helps wick moisture, but in very humid conditions or during intense activity, some dampness can occur. Ensure gloves are fully dried after use.

Rapid wear and tear

Inspect the task being performed. If it involves excessive sharp objects or abrasive surfaces beyond the EN388 rating (4131A), consider gloves with higher protection levels. Ensure proper fit to prevent friction points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
