Product Information

Full details

The Portwest AP36 Grip 15 Nitrile Gauntlet is an essential safety solution for industrial workers who frequently handle oily, greasy, or chemically hazardous materials. Its primary benefit is a combination of superior liquid repellency and a high-grip surface, which significantly improves safety and dexterity in slippery conditions. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the 1.45mm thickness may slightly reduce tactile sensitivity compared to thinner, non-coated disposables.

FAQs

Can I use these gloves for food handling?

These gloves are designed for industrial use and are not certified for food contact.

Are they puncture-resistant?

While the 1.45mm nitrile provides good abrasion resistance, they are not classified as puncture-proof and care should be taken with sharp objects.

Can I wash these gloves?

Yes, they can be cleaned with water and mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before reuse.

Do they provide protection against all chemicals?

They offer resistance to many common industrial chemicals, but always check the specific chemical safety data sheet against nitrile compatibility.

Is the glove breathable?

The coating is designed for liquid repellency, which naturally reduces breathability compared to uncoated gloves.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels less effective over time

Oil and debris buildup can clog the nitrile foam pores. Thoroughly clean the gloves with a mild detergent and water, then let them air dry.

Gloves feel stiff or brittle

This may be caused by exposure to aggressive chemicals or UV light. Inspect for cracks and replace if the material integrity is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip in oily and greasy conditions
  • Effective liquid repellency due to double-dipping
  • Heat protection up to 100°C
  • Durable 1.45mm thick construction for long-term use
  • Chemical resistant for added safety

Cons

  • Lower tactile sensitivity compared to thinner gloves
  • Not suitable for extremely high-temperature environments above 100°C
  • Bulkier fit may feel restrictive for delicate assembly work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required; ensure you select the appropriate size for a snug fit to maintain dexterity. To maximize the lifespan of the gloves, wipe off excess grease or chemicals after each shift using a damp, clean cloth. Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the nitrile coating over time. If the coating shows signs of cracking, thinning, or chemical breakdown, replace the gauntlets immediately to ensure continued hand protection.
