Full details

The Portwest AP52 Dexti Cut Ultra Glove is designed for professionals working with sharp, oily, or greasy materials who need superior hand protection and grip without sacrificing dexterity. Its key benefit is providing Level C cut resistance and exceptional grip, significantly reducing the risk of injuries and improving productivity. A potential caveat is that while offering good tactile sensitivity, extremely fine detail work might still be challenging for some users. This glove features a seamless HPPE yarn construction with a sandy palm nitrile coating for durable protection and a secure hold, a reinforced thumb crotch for added longevity, and a 13-gauge liner for a comfortable, snug fit.

FAQs

What does Level C cut resistance mean?

Level C cut resistance, according to EN 388:2016 standards, indicates a medium level of protection against cuts. It means the glove can withstand a significant amount of force before the sharp object penetrates the material.

Are these gloves suitable for handling very oily materials?

Yes, the sandy palm nitrile coating is specifically designed to provide an exceptional grip on oily, greasy, or wet surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slippage.

Can I use these gloves for protection against chemicals?

No, these gloves are designed for mechanical hazards like cuts and abrasions, and for grip. They are not rated for chemical protection.

How long do these gloves typically last?

Glove lifespan depends heavily on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the specific tasks performed. The reinforced thumb crotch and durable HPPE/nitrile construction contribute to longevity, but regular inspection for wear and tear is essential.

Are the gloves machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the glove material and affect its protective properties.

What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean for the user?

OEKO-TEX® certification ensures that the gloves have been tested and are free from harmful substances. This provides peace of mind regarding skin safety and environmental impact.

Can I wear these gloves for fine assembly work?

The 13-gauge liner offers good tactile sensitivity, making them suitable for many assembly tasks. However, for extremely delicate work requiring the utmost precision, users may find thinner, un-coated gloves more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Glove feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart and try a different size if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.

Grip is reduced after prolonged use

Clean the palm area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. If the coating is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.

Hands feel uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Allow hands to rest and breathe periodically. Consider if the task environment requires a different glove type (e.g., for extreme temperatures).

Gloves show signs of damage (cuts, tears)

Immediately discontinue use and replace the gloves. Damaged gloves do not provide adequate protection and pose a safety risk.
