Product Overview
The CT Cut D18 Nitrile Glove is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed for high-risk environments where cut hazards are a daily reality. Offering Level D cut protection—a significant benchmark for safety—it achieves this without the inclusion of glass or steel fibres. This is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or for applications where fibre contamination must be strictly avoided. Finished in a professional grey and black, these gloves are as much about performance as they are about protection, providing a reliable barrier without sacrificing the wearer's comfort.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: Provides a high degree of safety against sharp edges and tools, significantly reducing the risk of workplace injuries during demanding manual tasks.
- DyUltra™ Material: Utilises a proprietary high-performance fabric that provides exceptional abrasion resistance, ensuring the glove remains durable even in high-friction roles.
- Nitrile Foam Coating: The specialised palm coating ensures a secure hold on tools and materials in both wet and dry conditions, which is vital for maintaining precision and safety.
- Breathable Seamless Liner: The lightweight, 100% breathable construction prevents heat buildup and moisture, allowing for extended wear throughout the shift without discomfort.
Design & Performance
The engineering behind the CT45 focuses on the balance between extreme durability and dexterity. The lightweight DyUltra™ liner is the core of this glove; it is inherently stronger than many traditional protective materials while remaining impressively flexible. This flexibility is complemented by the seamless design, which eliminates the pressure points and seams that typically cause irritation during repetitive movements. The nitrile foam coating is specifically chosen for its tactile feedback, allowing the wearer to handle small components or heavy machinery with equal confidence. Because it contains no glass or steel fibres, the glove remains soft against the skin while providing heavy-duty protection.
Why No Customisation?
As a critical piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), these gloves are sold without customisation options. Adding embroidery or heat-applied prints would potentially compromise the integrity of the cut-resistant liner and the nitrile coating. To ensure the product meets its safety certifications and provides the intended level of protection for your hands, we provide these in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professional carpenters, metal workers, and those involved in construction or glass handling. Any environment where sharp materials are handled or where high abrasion resistance is required will benefit from the technical properties of the CT45. They are particularly effective for tasks requiring a steady hand in damp or oily conditions, such as automotive assembly or site maintenance.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in providing technical clothing and safety gear to industries across the UK. Operating from our hub in Telford, we understand that safety equipment is not just an accessory, but a necessity for the modern workforce. We curate our range to ensure that only products meeting the highest technical standards reach our customers.
Practical Advice
For maximum protection, it is essential to ensure the glove fits snugly. A loose glove can catch in machinery, while a glove that is too tight can restrict blood flow and reduce dexterity. We recommend checking your hand measurements against the size Large specifications to ensure a secure, comfortable fit that allows the breathable liner to function effectively. If you are between sizes, consider the nature of your work; precision tasks often benefit from a closer fit.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your cut-resistant gloves is vital for long-term safety. Proper care ensures the specialised DyUltra™ fibres do not lose their strength and the nitrile grip remains reliable for the duration of its service life.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the molecular structure of the synthetic liner, significantly reducing its cut resistance and compromising your safety. Similarly, do not iron these gloves or expose them to high heat; the temperature will melt the nitrile coating and the elastic components, rendering the glove unusable. When drying, keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the nitrile foam from becoming brittle and cracking.
