Product Overview
The Cut B13 Nitrile Amber Glove is a specialized piece of hand protection designed for tasks that require a balance of dexterity and low-risk cut resistance. In any busy workplace, being able to identify that your team is wearing the correct equipment is paramount; the bright amber-orange liner of this glove makes safety compliance checks effortless from a distance. Beyond its visibility, the glove provides a reliable barrier for general handling and light assembly work where sharp edges may pose a minor risk.
Key Features
- Nitrile Foam Coating: The palm-dipped foam coating provides an exceptional grip in both dry and slightly oily conditions, ensuring you maintain control of your tools and materials.
- High-Visibility Liner: The vibrant amber colour isn't just for show; it serves as a visual indicator for safety supervisors and helps prevent the gloves from being misplaced on-site.
- Cut B13 Protection: Rated for low-risk environments, this glove provides the necessary resistance to minor abrasions and cuts without sacrificing the wearer's tactile sensitivity.
- Ergonomic Fit: The blend of HPPE and Elastane ensures the glove contours to the hand, reducing hand fatigue during extended shifts.
Design & Performance
The construction of this glove utilizes a sophisticated blend of HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene), Polyester, and Elastane. This combination results in a lightweight, breathable fabric that doesn't compromise on durability. The HPPE provides the core cut resistance, while the polyester and elastic components allow for the flexibility required for intricate tasks like carpentry or electrical work. The nitrile foam coating is specifically engineered to be porous, which allows for better breathability than standard nitrile, keeping hands cooler and drier over time.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this product because it is a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any alteration to the fabric or the addition of heat-applied transfers could compromise the structural integrity of the HPPE liner or interfere with the protective nitrile coating. To ensure your safety and the glove's certified performance levels, we provide these as-is.
Use Cases
These gloves are highly recommended for professionals working in carpentry, light construction, and general warehouse handling. They are particularly useful for those working in environments where visibility is a safety requirement, or for tasks that involve handling materials with slightly abrasive surfaces where a high degree of finger-tip sensitivity is still required.

Practical Advice
To get the most out of your gloves, ensure you select the correct size; a glove that is too tight will restrict movement and potentially tear, while one that is too loose will reduce your grip and dexterity. We recommend checking the nitrile coating regularly for signs of wear; once the coating begins to thin or peel, it is time to replace the pair to maintain your level of protection.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure your hand protection continues to perform as intended. While these gloves are durable, they should be kept away from harsh chemicals that could degrade the nitrile foam coating over time.
We recommend cleaning the gloves by wiping them with a damp cloth to remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying unless specified on the internal tag, as excessive heat can shrink the elasticated cuff and reduce the effectiveness of the HPPE fibers. Always store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
