Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A643 Amber Cut Nitrile Foam Gloves are designed for individuals working in environments with low-risk cut hazards, such as food processing or handling greasy materials. Their key benefit is providing reliable cut protection with a superior grip and enhanced dexterity, ensuring safety without compromising productivity. A potential caveat is that they offer protection against minor cuts and abrasions, not heavy-duty cutting tasks. These gloves feature a 13-gauge liner for a precise fit, a nitrile foam coating for excellent grip in wet and dry conditions, and a breathable seamless construction for comfort during extended wear.

FAQs

What level of cut protection do these gloves offer?

The Portwest A643 gloves provide ANSI Cut Level A2 and EN Level B cut protection, suitable for low-risk cut hazards.

Are these gloves suitable for handling oily or greasy food products?

Yes, the nitrile foam coating offers excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions and is resistant to greases, animal fats, and oils, making them ideal for food processing.

How should I clean the Portwest A643 gloves?

They can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius using a non-biological detergent. Remember to reshape them after washing and do not tumble dry.

Can I use these gloves for heavy-duty cutting tasks?

No, these gloves are designed for low-risk cut protection. They are not intended for heavy-duty or high-risk cutting applications.

How do I ensure the best fit for these gloves?

A snug fit is recommended for optimal dexterity and protection. Try on different sizes if possible to find the one that allows for precise movement without being too tight or too loose.

Are the gloves breathable?

Yes, they feature a 100% breathable seamless liner designed to enhance ventilation and keep hands comfortable during extended wear.

What does the 'Amber Cut' in the name refer to?

The 'Amber Cut' typically refers to the color of the glove or its liner, which in this case is bright orange, aiding in visibility. It also denotes the specific level of cut resistance.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A proper fit is essential for optimal protection and dexterity. Refer to the sizing guide if available.

Reduced grip after washing

Ensure gloves are completely dry before use. Re-shaping after washing and allowing to air dry can help maintain the nitrile foam's properties.

Cut protection seems inadequate for the task

These gloves are designed for low-risk cut protection (ANSI Cut Level A2 / EN Level B). For tasks involving higher risk, consider gloves with a higher cut resistance rating.

Gloves show signs of wear and tear quickly

Inspect gloves regularly for damage. While durable and washable, excessive abrasion or exposure to sharp objects beyond their rating will reduce lifespan.
