Product Overview
The CS Cut C18 Nitrile Glove is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require high-level hand protection without sacrificing the ability to interact with modern technology. These gloves are engineered to provide a Cut Level C rating, ensuring a significant barrier against lacerations and sharp edges often encountered in demanding work environments. By integrating touchscreen compatibility, they allow for seamless transitions between manual tasks and digital device usage, ensuring efficiency is never compromised by safety requirements.
Key Features
- Cut Level C Rating: Offers a high degree of protection against cuts and abrasions, making them suitable for handling glass, metal, and other sharp materials.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The specialised construction allows the user to operate tablets and smartphones without removing their gloves, maintaining safety and productivity in the field.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: This targeted reinforcement significantly increases the glove's lifespan by protecting a high-stress area prone to wear and tear.
- Nitrile Coating: Provides an exceptional grip and resistance to oils and chemicals, ensuring a secure hold even in slippery conditions.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A636G8RL lies in its advanced material composition. Utilising a blend of HPPE, steel fibre, and glass fibre, the glove creates a formidable shield against mechanical risks. The addition of nylon and elastane ensures the glove remains flexible and conforms to the natural shape of the hand, providing a lightweight feel that reduces hand fatigue over long shifts.
The nitrile-coated palm and fingers are designed for durability, offering a balance between tactile sensitivity and robust protection. The grey and black colour scheme is not only professional but also practical, helping to mask the appearance of grease and grime while you work.
Why No Customisation?
These gloves are sold as-is because they are critical pieces of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any form of customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, could potentially damage the integrity of the protective fibres or the nitrile coating. To ensure the Cut Level C certification remains valid and your safety is not compromised, these items must remain in their original manufactured state.
Use Cases
These gloves are primarily designed for carpenters, metal fabricators, and glass handlers who face daily risks from sharp edges. They are also an excellent choice for site managers and logistics staff who need to protect their hands while frequently using touch-sensitive devices for inventory management or digital documentation.

Practical Advice
To get the best performance out of your gloves, ensure you have the correct size. A snug fit is essential for maintaining the touchscreen functionality and ensuring the reinforced thumb crotch is correctly positioned for maximum durability. If the nitrile coating begins to show significant signs of wear or the inner fabric is breached, it is time to replace the pair to ensure continued safety.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety gloves is vital for ensuring they continue to provide the advertised level of protection. Removing dirt and debris after use will prevent the nitrile coating from degrading prematurely and maintain the quality of the grip.
When cleaning, always follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Bleaching should be avoided as it can weaken the steel and glass fibres that provide cut resistance. High-heat drying should also be avoided, as it can cause the elastane to lose its flexibility and the nitrile to become brittle. Ironing these gloves is not recommended, as the intense heat will damage the synthetic materials and compromise the glove's protective structure.
