Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A400 PVC Knitwrist Gloves are designed for industrial workers and outdoor professionals who require high-level protection in wet or oily conditions. These gloves offer an excellent balance of dexterity and durability, keeping hands dry while providing superior abrasion resistance. While they are highly effective for heavy-duty protection, users should note that the fully coated PVC construction can reduce breathability during extended use in hot environments.

FAQs

Are these gloves chemical resistant?

The Portwest A400 provides a barrier against many liquids, but they are primarily designed for water and oil. Always check specific chemical compatibility charts before handling hazardous substances.

Can I wash these gloves?

Yes, they can be rinsed with lukewarm water. Avoid using strong detergents or industrial machines that might damage the PVC coating.

Do these gloves protect against high heat?

No, these are not heat-resistant gloves. Avoid contact with hot surfaces, sparks, or molten metal.

What does ANSI Cut Level A1 mean?

ANSI Level A1 indicates that the gloves offer protection against light cut hazards, such as handling boxes or materials with low-risk edges.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it against the standard sizing chart provided by Portwest.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel slippery during use

Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove accumulated oil or debris that may have coated the grip pattern.

Inner lining feels damp

Moisture buildup inside is common with fully coated gloves due to sweat; ensure hands are dry before putting them on and turn the gloves inside out to dry thoroughly after each shift.

Visible signs of wear or punctures

If the PVC coating is compromised, the gloves will no longer provide liquid resistance. Replace the gloves immediately to maintain safety standards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent liquid protection in wet or oily environments
  • Secure knitted cuff prevents dirt and debris ingress
  • High level of durability against abrasion and tearing
  • Phthalate-free material construction
  • Good grip performance on slippery surfaces

Cons

  • Lower breathability due to full coating
  • Not intended for extreme heat or high-temperature handling
  • Limited protection against high-impact hazards or heavy-duty blades

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves are ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging. No complex setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the PVC coating, store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. If the gloves become contaminated with oil or chemical residue, rinse them under lukewarm water and allow them to air dry completely before the next use. Avoid using harsh solvents for cleaning, as these may degrade the PVC material over time.
