Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A672 CS Cut F13 Nitrile Glove is designed for professionals working with sharp materials who require superior hand protection without sacrificing dexterity. Its key benefit is the F-level cut resistance, ensuring maximum safety.

FAQs

What does 'Level F cut resistance' mean?

Level F is the highest rating in the EN 388 standard for mechanical risks, indicating excellent protection against cuts when tested with a rotating blade under high pressure. It signifies superior safety when handling sharp materials.

Can I use these gloves for protection against chemicals?

No, these gloves are primarily designed for cut resistance and grip. They are not rated or intended for protection against chemical splashes or immersion.

How often should I replace these gloves?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and the specific tasks performed. Inspect gloves regularly for signs of wear, damage, or loss of grip. Replace them when protection or performance is compromised.

Are these gloves suitable for hot or cold conditions?

The gloves offer protection from incidental contact with heat or cold but are not insulated. For extreme temperature work, specialized thermal gloves would be required.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Measure the circumference of your hand just below the knuckles (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the manufacturer's sizing chart to find the best fit. A snug fit is crucial for dexterity and protection.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with mild soap and cool water is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the materials and coating.

What is the benefit of the reinforced thumb crotch?

The thumb crotch is an area that experiences significant stress and friction. Reinforcing it adds durability and helps prevent premature wear and tear in this critical zone, extending the overall life of the glove.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip performance

Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. Any residue or excessive moisture can affect grip. If the nitrile coating appears worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.

Decreased dexterity

Verify that the correct size is being worn. A glove that is too large or too small will impede movement. Ensure the gloves are fully dry, as dampness can make them feel stiffer.

Cut resistance seems compromised

Inspect the gloves for any visible tears, punctures, or excessive wear in the fabric or coating. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately as the cut protection is no longer guaranteed.

Skin irritation

While made with materials designed for comfort, some individuals may experience sensitivity. Ensure gloves are clean and dry, and consider if prolonged exposure to specific work conditions is a factor. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Nitrile foam coating may degrade with prolonged exposure to extreme abrasion
  • May not offer insulation for extreme cold or heat
