FAQs

What does "Level E cut resistance" mean?

Level E cut resistance, according to EN ISO 21420 standards, indicates a high level of protection against cuts. It means the glove has demonstrated significant resistance when tested against sharp objects, making it suitable for handling materials that pose a substantial cutting hazard.

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot objects?

The Portwest CS Cut E15 Nitrile Glove has an EN 407 rating of X1XXXX, indicating some resistance to heat (specifically, contact heat at Level 1). However, they are not designed for prolonged contact with very hot surfaces or extreme heat protection. Always exercise caution when handling hot items.

Can I use these gloves for chemical handling?

These gloves are primarily designed for cut resistance and grip. They are not rated for specific chemical resistance. For chemical handling, it is recommended to use gloves specifically designed and certified for chemical protection.

How long should I expect these gloves to last?

The lifespan of the gloves depends heavily on the frequency of use, the type of tasks performed, and how well they are maintained. The reinforced thumb crotch adds durability, but regular inspection and proper care are essential. For tasks involving heavy abrasion or frequent cuts, replacement may be needed sooner.

Are these gloves washable?

Yes, these gloves can be washed. It is recommended to use mild soap and cool water. Air dry them away from direct heat sources. Proper cleaning and drying will help maintain their grip and flexibility.

What is the benefit of the 15-gauge liner?

A 15-gauge liner is a finer knit, which results in a thinner, more flexible, and breathable glove. This enhances dexterity, allowing for more precise movements and greater comfort for the wearer, especially during long work periods.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip performance

Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. If the nitrile coating appears worn, it may be time to replace the gloves. Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or excessive oil/grease can also affect grip; clean thoroughly or replace if necessary.

Gloves feel stiff or uncomfortable

This may occur if the gloves have been exposed to excessive heat during drying or storage. Ensure they are aired out in a cool, dry place. If the material has permanently stiffened, it might be time for a new pair.

Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent

Verify that the screen is clean and dry. Ensure the glove's fingertips are making direct contact with the screen. The effectiveness can vary slightly between different touchscreen technologies and glove wear.

Thumb crotch area shows premature wear

While reinforced, excessive force or improper donning/doffing can still cause wear. Ensure you are putting on and taking off the gloves correctly, pulling from the cuff rather than yanking at the fingertips or thumb.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Level E cut resistance for enhanced safety.
  • Excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions.
  • High level of dexterity and comfort due to the 15-gauge liner.
  • Increased durability with a reinforced thumb crotch.
  • Convenient touchscreen compatibility.
  • Improved visibility with a reflective label.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty abrasion beyond its specified levels.
  • Grip performance might be slightly reduced if gloves become saturated with liquid over long periods.
  • While offering good dexterity, extremely fine manipulation tasks might still be challenging for some users.
  • Not designed for protection against heat or chemicals unless specified by additional certifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit; a glove that is too loose can reduce dexterity and protection, while one that is too tight can restrict blood flow and comfort.

Compatibility: The Portwest CS Cut E15 Nitrile Glove is designed to be compatible with most standard touchscreen devices, including smartphones and tablets, allowing for operation without removal.

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

  1. Cleaning: Clean the gloves gently with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents, as they can degrade the nitrile coating and liner material.
  2. Drying: After washing, shake off excess water and allow the gloves to air dry completely. Do not use heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the material to stiffen or crack.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are not folded or creased in a way that could damage the material.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of wear, cuts, or holes. Discontinue use immediately if damage is detected, as the protective properties may be compromised.
