Full details

The Portwest A646 Vis-Tex Winter HR Cut Nitrile Gloves are designed for professionals working in cold environments who handle sharp objects. They offer a crucial combination of superior cut resistance (Level D) and excellent thermal protection, ensuring hands remain safe and warm. While providing high-level protection, users may find the dexterity slightly reduced compared to thinner gloves, though this is a common trade-off for enhanced safety in hazardous conditions.

FAQs

What level of cut protection do these gloves offer?

The Portwest A646 gloves offer Level D cut resistance according to EN ISO 21420 standards, providing high-risk protection against cuts.

Are these gloves suitable for extremely cold temperatures?

Yes, they feature a warm 7 gauge acrylic liner specifically designed for extreme cold protection and are engineered for cold conditions.

Can these gloves protect against heat?

Yes, they provide contact heat protection up to 250°C for 15 seconds, as certified by EN 407.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for the best fit. A snug fit is recommended for optimal protection and dexterity.

What is the primary material of the coating?

The gloves feature a flexible sandy nitrile coating which provides excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is recommended to clean the gloves with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and to air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical treatments which can degrade the materials.

What standards do these gloves comply with?

They comply with EN ISO 21420:2020 (Dexterity 3), EN 388:2016+A1:2018 (4X43D), EN 407:2020 (X2XXXX), EN 511:2006 (X2X), and ANSI/ISEA 105:2016 CUT Level (A4) and ABRASION Level (6).

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip after prolonged use.

Clean the nitrile coating with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or oil. If wear is evident, the gloves may need replacement.

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.

Ensure the correct size is being worn and that no gaps are allowing cold air to enter. Check if the gloves are saturated; if so, they need to be dried or replaced.

Gloves feel stiff in very cold conditions.

This is normal; the materials are designed to remain flexible. Slight warming from body heat should restore optimal flexibility. Ensure gloves are not frozen.

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

  • Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
