Product Overview
The CS Cut E18 PU Glove represents a sophisticated advancement in hand protection, successfully bridging the gap between high-level cut resistance and the dexterity usually reserved for much thinner, less protective alternatives. Engineered with an 18-gauge liner, this glove provides Cut Level E protection without the cumbersome bulk typically associated with high-risk safety wear. Its sleek, lightweight profile ensures that the wearer maintains full tactile sensitivity, making it an indispensable choice for precision tasks in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Cut Level E Resistance: Provides substantial protection against sharp edges and laceration risks, ensuring safety during high-risk handling operations.
- 18-Gauge Breathable Liner: The ultra-fine knit offers exceptional dexterity and comfort, significantly reducing hand fatigue during prolonged shifts.
- Polyurethane (PU) Coating: Ensures a secure, tactile grip in dry or lightly oily conditions, allowing for confident handling of small or slippery components.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: This critical stress point is strengthened to increase the overall lifespan of the glove in high-wear areas, offering better value over time.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Eliminates the need to remove safety equipment when using digital devices, maintaining both productivity and protection on-site.
- Reflective Label: Enhances the visibility of the wearer in low-light conditions, adding a subtle but vital layer of safety.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a complex blend of HPPE, nylon, and steel fibre, the fabric of this glove is designed to resist penetration while remaining remarkably flexible. The fine-gauge knit allows for maximum airflow, preventing moisture build-up and keeping hands cool during intensive work. Despite its lightweight feel, the inclusion of steel fibres ensures that the integrity of the glove is maintained even when faced with significant mechanical hazards. The black colourway is practical for industrial environments, effectively masking dirt and light oil staining while maintaining a professional appearance.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific item. As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed specifically for cut resistance, any alteration to the fabric's structure—such as needle punctures from embroidery—could compromise the protective properties of the 18-gauge knit. To ensure your safety remains absolute and the glove meets its certified standards, these are supplied in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically designed for trades where precision and high-level protection must coexist. They are an excellent choice for carpenters, glass handlers, and assembly line workers dealing with sharp metal components. The PU coating makes them particularly effective in environments where light oils are present, such as small-parts engineering, technical maintenance, or electronics assembly.

Practical Advice
To gain the full benefit of the 18-gauge dexterity, ensure you select the correct size; a glove that is too large will hinder your ability to handle small items, while one that is too small may cause the fabric to overstretch and degrade faster. These are designed to be worn directly against the skin; layering them over other gloves is not recommended as it will negate the touchscreen functionality and precision grip.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance cut resistance and grip of your gloves, it is essential to follow proper maintenance routines. Regularly inspecting the gloves for signs of wear or damage to the PU coating ensures you are always fully protected and aware of when a replacement is required.
When cleaning, avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches. Bleach can cause the technical fibres, particularly the HPPE and elastane, to break down prematurely, which would significantly reduce the glove's protective capabilities. If washing is necessary, use a gentle domestic cycle to preserve the integrity of the reinforced thumb and the touchscreen-sensitive tips. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally; excessive heat from tumble drying can cause the polyurethane coating to become brittle or peel, which would compromise your grip and safety.
