Product Overview
The CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove is a sophisticated piece of hand protection designed for environments where high-risk cut hazards are a daily reality. Integrating advanced materials with a focus on user experience, this glove provides maximum cut resistance without the bulk often associated with heavy-duty safety gear. The design prioritises visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring that hand movements are easily tracked in complex workspaces. With the addition of touchscreen compatibility and a reinforced thumb crotch, it is built to handle the rigours of modern industrial work while allowing the wearer to stay connected.
Key Features
- Maximum Cut Protection: Utilises a high-performance blend of steel fibre and HPPE to provide a formidable barrier against sharp edges and abrasive materials.
- 18-Gauge Breathable Liner: The exceptionally fine knit provides a lightweight feel that allows for maximum dexterity, essential for precision tasks.
- Nitrile Foam Palm Coating: This specialised coating ensures a secure grip in both wet and dry environments, reducing the risk of accidental slips.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Eliminates the need to remove safety equipment when using digital devices, maintaining protection throughout the shift.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: Adds an extra layer of durability in a high-wear area, significantly extending the lifespan of the glove.
Design & Performance
The performance of the CS Cut F18 lies in its intricate material composition. By combining HPPE, Nylon, and Steel Fibre, the glove achieves a high level of cut resistance while remaining flexible. The 18-gauge liner is particularly noteworthy; it feels like a second skin, providing the sensitivity required for handling small components or intricate carpentry work. The nitrile foam coating is not just for grip; it is also designed to be breathable, allowing heat and moisture to escape during prolonged use. This prevents the discomfort of 'sweaty hands' and ensures the wearer can focus entirely on the task at hand.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a high-performance piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation or branding options on this product. Adding embroidery or print to cut-resistant gloves can potentially compromise the structural integrity of the protective fibres and the nitrile coating. In the interest of maintaining the certified safety standards and ensuring your hands remain fully protected, these gloves are supplied in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals working in high-risk sectors. This includes carpenters, glass handlers, and those involved in metal fabrication or assembly where sharp components are common. They are equally effective for maintenance engineers who require a balance of protection and the ability to operate touchscreen diagnostic equipment without delay.

We understand that in hazardous environments, the quality of your equipment is non-negotiable, which is why we stock technical products like the CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit. A glove that is too loose will reduce your dexterity and can be a safety hazard if it catches in machinery. Conversely, a glove that is too tight may restrict circulation and cause fatigue. Because of the lightweight 18-gauge liner, these gloves are excellent for use in warmer environments or for tasks requiring fine motor skills.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your safety gloves is vital for both hygiene and the longevity of the materials. We recommend a gentle wash to remove debris and oils that can degrade the nitrile coating over time. Avoiding harsh chemicals ensures that the protective fibres remain intact and functional.
Do not use bleach, as this can weaken the HPPE and steel fibres, directly compromising the cut resistance. When drying, avoid direct high heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the nitrile foam to harden or crack. Air drying at room temperature is the most effective way to preserve the glove's flexibility and grip performance.
