Product Overview
The Cut B13 PU Economy Glove is a pragmatic solution for workforces requiring reliable hand protection without the premium price tag. Designed specifically for tasks where the risk of injury is present but relatively low, this glove provides Level B cut resistance. It is engineered to offer a high degree of comfort and dexterity, ensuring that safety requirements do not hinder the precision needed for intricate manual tasks. The grey colourway provides a professional look that also helps to mask dirt and dust during a busy shift.
Key Features
- Level B Cut Resistance: Offers essential protection against minor abrasions and cuts, which is vital for maintaining safety standards in light assembly or general handling environments.
- High Dexterity: The lightweight construction allows for a natural range of hand movement, ensuring that users can handle small components or tools with ease.
- Enhanced Grip: The polyurethane (PU) coating provides a secure hold on objects, reducing the risk of accidental slips and improving overall productivity.
- Comfortable Material Blend: Utilises a mix of polyester and elastane to ensure a snug, flexible fit that remains comfortable throughout a full working day.
Design & Performance
The performance of this glove is rooted in its intelligent material composition. By combining polyester with glass fibre, the glove achieves its cut-resistant properties without becoming bulky or stiff. The inclusion of elastane and elastic provides a stretchable fit that conforms to the shape of the hand, which is essential for preventing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Despite being an economy option, the construction focuses on durability where it matters most, particularly in the palm and fingertips where contact is most frequent.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific product. As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the structural integrity of the glove is paramount. Applying heat-pressed transfers or stitching through the material could compromise the cut-resistant glass fibres or the protective coating. Furthermore, adding additional material to a glove designed for dexterity would negatively impact the tactile feedback and flexibility required for the tasks it was designed to perform.
Use Cases
These gloves are particularly well-suited for carpenters, light construction workers, and those involved in general maintenance or warehousing. They are ideal for environments where you are handling materials with light sharp edges, such as thin metal sheeting or plastic components, but do not require the heavy-duty protection of a higher-rated cut glove. They serve as an excellent bulk-buy option for large teams performing routine handling tasks.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly around the palm and the base of the fingers. A glove that is too large will reduce your dexterity and may lead to the fabric snagging in machinery, while a glove that is too small will cause unnecessary hand strain. For those working in colder environments, these can be layered over thin thermal liners, though this may slightly reduce the tactile sensitivity of the glove.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your PPE is essential for ensuring it continues to provide the intended level of protection. While these are economy gloves, keeping them free from excessive oil and grit will help preserve the PU coating and the cut-resistant fibres. We recommend inspecting your gloves before every shift for any signs of fraying, holes, or thinning of the coating, as these are clear indicators that the gloves have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced immediately.
Avoid exposing these gloves to high heat sources or harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the synthetic materials and glass fibres, rendering the cut protection ineffective. Always follow any specific cleaning guidance provided by the manufacturer to ensure the safety standards of the glove remain intact.
