FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling raw meat?

Yes, the Portwest A925 gloves are CE certified and food safe, making them suitable for handling raw meat and other food products, offering protection against contamination and providing a good grip.

How many gloves are in a box?

Each retail box contains 100 gloves.

Can I wash and reuse these gloves?

No, these are disposable nitrile gloves and are intended for single use only. They should be discarded after use or when contaminated.

What is the main advantage of nitrile gloves over latex?

The main advantage is that nitrile gloves are latex-free, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions that many individuals experience with latex gloves.

Are these gloves resistant to puncture?

These gloves offer a good level of durability for disposable nitrile gloves, but they are not designed to be puncture-resistant. For tasks involving sharp objects, a heavier-duty glove or reusabale glove may be necessary.

What is the 'Acceptable Quality Limit' (AQL) of 1.5?

An AQL of 1.5 means that for every 1000 gloves inspected, up to 150 may have minor defects and still meet the acceptable quality standard. This is a common standard for disposable gloves.

What chemicals are these gloves resistant to?

These gloves are resistant to greases, animal fats, and oils. They are also suitable for general food handling and offer some protection against certain industrial chemicals, as indicated by their EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type B KPT rating.

Troubleshooting

Glove tears easily during use.

Ensure you are using the correct size glove for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check for sharp edges or rough surfaces in your work environment that might be causing the tears. If the issue persists, consider a glove with a higher thickness rating or different material if needed for the specific task.

Reduced grip in wet conditions.

While textured fingertips enhance grip, extremely slippery surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the glove surface is wiped clean of excess moisture or oil if possible. For exceptionally slick environments, consider gloves with more aggressive texturing if available.

Skin irritation despite being latex-free.

Although nitrile is hypoallergenic for most, rare sensitivities can occur. Ensure hands are clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the glove is not too tight, which can cause friction.

Glove feels uncomfortable or rolls down.

Verify that you have selected the correct size. The beaded cuff is designed to prevent roll-down, but an ill-fitting glove can still cause discomfort. Ensure the cuff is fully extended and positioned correctly on the wrist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates risk of latex allergies, ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Provides excellent tactile sensitivity and grip, even in wet or oily conditions.
  • Resistant to common industrial and food-related chemicals like greases and oils.
  • Comfortable to wear for extended periods due to non-textured surface and beaded cuff.
  • Meets stringent safety and food handling standards (CE certified, Food Safe).

Cons

  • Disposable nature means they are intended for single use, increasing waste.
  • May not offer the same level of dexterity as thinner, non-textured gloves for extremely fine tasks.
  • Thickness of 0.07mm may be insufficient for tasks requiring heavy protection against sharp objects or punctures.
  • AQL of 1.5, while good for disposable gloves, is not as stringent as some reusable or industrial-grade gloves.
