FAQs

What does '21 Gauge' refer to?

'21 Gauge' refers to the density of the knit. A higher gauge (like 21) means more stitches per inch, resulting in a thinner, lighter, and more dexterous fabric.

How long does the cut resistance last?

The gloves are designed to retain their Level C cut resistance for up to 10 washes when properly cared for.

Are these gloves suitable for handling chemicals?

These gloves are primarily designed for cut protection and dexterity, not chemical resistance. Consult the product specifications for specific chemical resistance ratings if needed.

Can I use these gloves for welding?

No, these gloves are not designed for high-heat applications like welding. They offer cut resistance, not thermal protection.

What does CE certified mean?

CE certification indicates that the product has been assessed by the manufacturer and tested to meet EU standards for safety, health, and environmental protection.

Why are they described as 'Silicone Free'?

Being silicone-free means the gloves do not contain silicone, making them ideal for industries like electronics manufacturing and automotive painting where silicone contamination can cause defects.

Can I wear these over other gloves?

These gloves are designed for a close, second-skin fit. Wearing them over other gloves may reduce dexterity and the effectiveness of the touchscreen compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

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

Reduced touchscreen sensitivity

Ensure the glove surface is clean and dry. Some oils or dirt can interfere with conductivity. If the glove is wet, sensitivity may decrease.

Skin irritation despite being fiber-free

While designed to minimize irritation, some individuals may have sensitivities to the materials used. Ensure gloves are clean and dry. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Noticeable decrease in cut resistance

The cut resistance is guaranteed for up to 10 washes. After this period, performance may degrade. Replace gloves if they show signs of significant wear or damage, or if cut resistance is compromised.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides a good level of cut protection (Level C).
  • Usable with touchscreen devices.
  • Suitable for silicone-sensitive environments.
  • Maintains cut resistance through multiple washes.

Cons

  • Cut resistance is not permanent and diminishes after approximately 10 washes.
  • May not offer sufficient protection for extremely heavy-duty cutting tasks.
  • Nitrile micro foam coating may wear down with prolonged abrasion.
  • The thin gauge may be less durable against punctures compared to thicker gloves.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most capacitive touchscreen devices.
  • Suitable for use in manufacturing, paint applications, electronics, and glass handling due to being silicone-free.

  • Air dry only. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat.
  • Inspect gloves before each use for any signs of damage. Discontinue use if significant wear is visible.
