FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling chemicals?

Yes, the Portwest AP60 gloves are CE certified to EN ISO 374-1:2016 + A1:2018 Type B standards, offering protection against specific chemicals like A (Methanol), J (n-Heptane), and K (Caustic Soda 40%). Always check the specific chemical resistance chart for detailed information.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Portwest, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your hand. The glove should fit snugly without being too tight, allowing for dexterity.

Can I use these gloves for protection against sharp objects?

These gloves offer good abrasion resistance due to the nitrile coating, but they are not designed for protection against sharp objects or severe cuts. For puncture or cut protection, consider gloves with higher mechanical resistance ratings.

What does '18-gauge liner' mean?

An 18-gauge liner refers to the fineness of the knit, indicating a higher number of stitches per inch. This results in a thinner, more flexible, and tighter-fitting glove, enhancing dexterity.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The nitrile coating provides water and oil resistance, making them suitable for wet conditions. However, they are not fully submersible waterproof gloves.

How long do these gloves typically last?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and nature of use. For light to moderate use with regular cleaning and care, they can last several months. Heavy or abrasive use will shorten their lifespan.

What is the significance of OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 approval?

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification means the textile components of the glove have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore safe for human health.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels reduced over time

Clean the gloves thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove accumulated oils or debris. Ensure they are fully dry before use. The sandy coating may naturally wear down with prolonged abrasive use.

Gloves feel stiff after drying

This can occur if dried too quickly or with harsh detergents. Ensure you are air-drying at room temperature with mild soap. Gently flexing the gloves while they are slightly damp can help restore some flexibility.

Skin irritation after wearing

Ensure you are wearing the correct size for a comfortable, snug fit. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath or taking more frequent breaks. Check that the gloves are fully dry before wearing.

Coating peeling or cracking

This indicates significant wear and tear or exposure to incompatible chemicals. Inspect the gloves for damage and replace them if the coating integrity is compromised. Avoid using them for tasks beyond their specified resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

The Portwest AP60 gloves are designed for general hand protection and are compatible with most standard work environments involving wet, oily, or dry handling of materials. They are not intended for protection against high heat, open flames, or severe mechanical hazards like significant cutting or crushing forces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use dryers or artificial heat sources, as this can damage the glove material.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a breathable bag, to maintain their integrity.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of wear, such as tears, holes, or degradation of the coating. Replace immediately if damaged.
