FAQs

What types of chemicals are these gloves resistant to?

The Portwest A812 Nitrosafe Plus Chemical Gauntlet is tested and certified to offer protection against many common industrial chemicals, indicated by the EN ISO 374-1 Type A rating (AJKLMNOPT).

Are these gloves suitable for food handling?

Yes, these gloves are CE certified for food safety (CE foodsafe) and are made from silicone-free material, making them appropriate for applications in the food industry.

How long are the gloves?

The gloves have an extra-long 330mm length, providing extended coverage for the forearms.

Can I reuse these gloves?

These gloves are designed for reuse. However, they should be inspected for damage before each use and cleaned according to the care instructions. Replace them if any signs of wear or degradation are present.

What is the thickness of the glove material?

The gloves have a lightweight thickness of 0.38mm.

Why is being silicone-free important?

Silicone-free construction is crucial for applications where silicone contamination is problematic, such as in painting, electronics manufacturing, and glass handling, as silicone can interfere with adhesion and surface finishes.

What standards do these gloves meet?

These gloves meet multiple standards including CE CAT III, CE foodsafe, UKCA marked, EN ISO 21420:2020, EN388:2016 +A1:2018 (41X1X), EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type A (AJKLMNOPT), and EN ISO 374-5 Micro Organisms (Pass).

Troubleshooting

Reduced chemical resistance after prolonged use

Inspect gloves for visible damage or signs of degradation. Chemical resistance can be compromised over time with heavy use or exposure to aggressive chemicals. Replace gloves regularly based on usage and exposure levels.

Gloves feel sticky or have poor grip

Ensure the glove exterior is clean and dry. Residue from chemicals or handling may affect the textured grip. Clean the gloves as per care instructions and allow to dry fully.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction

Although designed to minimize allergic reactions, some individuals may still experience sensitivity. Ensure proper fit and consider a brief break-in period. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Gloves feel excessively tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and dexterity. If the size is correct, consider if the task requires a glove with higher flexibility.

Pros and Cons
