FAQs

What level of cut resistance do these gloves offer?

These gloves offer Level E cut resistance according to EN ISO 21420 standards, providing a high level of protection against sharp objects.

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot or cold objects?

The Portwest A660 CS Cut E18 PU Glove is primarily designed for cut and abrasion resistance. It does not offer significant protection against extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

Can I use these gloves in wet conditions?

The smooth PU coating provides a secure grip in dry and light oily environments. Their performance in fully wet conditions is not specified, and grip may be reduced.

How do I know if I have the right size glove?

A proper fit should be snug but not tight, allowing full finger movement. There should be no excessive looseness or bunching of material, especially around the palm and fingers.

How often should I replace these gloves?

Gloves should be replaced when they show signs of significant wear, such as holes, tears, thinning of the material, or loss of grip and protective properties. Regular inspection is key.

Are these gloves certified for industrial safety?

Yes, these gloves are CE certified and comply with EN ISO 21420:2020 (Dexterity 5) and EN 388:2016 + A1:2018 (3X42E) standards, as well as meeting ANSI/ISEA standards for cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance.

What materials are used in the construction of this glove?

The gloves are constructed with Nylon and Steel Fibre for the liner, and feature a Polyurethane (PU) coating on the palm.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip performance

Ensure the PU palm is clean and free from dirt, grease, or contaminants. If the glove has been washed, ensure it is completely dry. For heavily worn gloves, consider replacement.

Loss of dexterity

Check if the glove is the correct size. An improperly sized glove can feel restrictive. Ensure the glove is not overly saturated with moisture, which can affect flexibility.

Tears or holes in the fabric

Inspect the gloves regularly for damage. If tears or holes are present, especially in critical areas like the fingers or palm, the glove's protective integrity is compromised and it should be replaced immediately.

Touchscreen functionality not working

Ensure the touchscreen surface of the glove is clean and dry. Static electricity can sometimes interfere with touch sensitivity; try lightly rubbing the glove material. Some heavily textured screen protectors may also reduce compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Portwest A660 CS Cut E18 PU Glove requires no specific setup. Simply remove them from their packaging and wear them. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit that does not restrict movement.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed to be compatible with most touchscreen devices, allowing for seamless operation of smartphones, tablets, and other touch-enabled equipment.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the gloves using a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can degrade the PU coating and fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine dry.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage and maintain their protective qualities.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of wear, damage, or holes. Discontinue use if damage is found.
