Product Overview
The CT Impact D18 Nitrile Sandy Glove represents a significant advancement in hand protection, merging high-level cut resistance with specialised impact shielding. Constructed using a fine 18-gauge liner, this glove offers the dexterity required for precision tasks while maintaining robust Level D cut resistance. Designed specifically for low-energy impact situations, it provides a vital safety barrier for hands operating in environments where mechanical hazards are a constant presence. Its lightweight profile ensures that safety does not come at the cost of comfort, even during extended shifts.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: Provides reliable protection against sharp edges and blades, significantly reducing the risk of lacerations in hazardous environments.
- Low-Energy Impact Protection: Features an engineered design that safeguards the back of the hand from accidental knocks and bumps, essential for maintaining safety during mechanical operations.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Allows for the seamless operation of mobile devices and digital machinery interfaces without the need to remove protective gear, ensuring constant protection.
- Nitrile Foam Sandy Coating: Offers exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions, allowing for confident and precise handling of tools and materials.
- Glass and Steel Fibre Free: Manufactured without these common materials to minimise skin irritation, making it an ideal choice for workers with sensitive skin.
Design & Performance
At the core of this glove is DyUltra™, a high-performance material engineered to deliver exceptional abrasion resistance that exceeds many traditional para-aramids. This ensures the glove remains durable even when subjected to the rigours of a busy workshop or construction site. The 18-gauge construction makes the glove feel remarkably light, providing the tactile sensitivity needed for intricate assembly work while the sandy nitrile finish ensures that oil or water on the surface does not compromise your grip. The blend of nylon, PVC, and elastane creates a flexible fit that moves naturally with the hand.
Why No Customisation?
As this product is classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat-seal printing. Altering the fabric or adding external materials could compromise the technical integrity of the glove, potentially affecting its cut resistance or impact protection ratings. We provide these as-is to ensure they meet the specific safety standards required to protect your workforce.
Use Cases
These gloves are highly recommended for professionals in carpentry, joinery, and light mechanical assembly where a combination of sharp material handling and low-level impact risk is present. They are equally effective in warehousing and logistics roles where workers frequently interact with digital scanning devices and touchscreens throughout the day.

We understand that for a tradesperson, gear that performs reliably is non-negotiable, and we leverage our heritage to ensure we only stock the best in the industry.
Practical Advice
For the best performance, it is vital to select the correct size; a snug fit is necessary to maintain the high level of dexterity and to ensure the touchscreen-compatible fingertips align correctly with your own. If the glove is too large, you lose the precision needed for fine tasks and may find the impact protection shifting out of place.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and protective qualities of these gloves, regular cleaning is essential to remove dirt and oils that can degrade the nitrile coating over time. We recommend a gentle hand wash or a low-temperature machine wash with a mild detergent. Using harsh chemicals or bleach should be avoided, as these can weaken the DyUltra™ fibres and compromise the cut-resistant properties of the material.
Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Using a tumble dryer or placing them on a radiator can cause the synthetic elastic and nitrile components to become brittle or shrink, which will negatively impact the fit and reduce the overall lifespan of the glove.
