Product Overview
In high-stakes industrial environments, hand protection is non-negotiable. The Cut D13 3/4 Nitrile Foam Glove represents a sophisticated solution for professionals who refuse to choose between safety and dexterity. Engineered to provide supreme cut resistance while maintaining a lightweight feel, these gloves are specifically designed to excel in oily and greasy conditions where standard grip often fails. The 3/4 dipping provides an extended barrier, ensuring that the wearer remains protected even when reaching into tight, lubricated spaces.
Key Features
- High-Level Cut Resistance: Constructed with a blend of HPPE and glass fibre, this glove offers robust protection against sharp edges, making it ideal for handling glass or sheet metal.
- 3/4 Nitrile Foam Coating: The nitrile foam extends over the knuckles to offer superior protection against liquid and oil ingress compared to standard palm-dipped alternatives.
- Enhanced Oily Grip: The foam texture is designed to displace oils and fluids, ensuring a secure and stable grip on tools and components, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental slips.
- Breathable Lightweight Liner: Despite its protective qualities, the lightweight fabric ensures that the hands stay cool and comfortable, even during intensive, long-shift operations.
Design & Performance
The performance of this glove lies in its intricate material composition. By combining HPPE, glass fibre, and polyester, the liner achieves a high mechanical strength without becoming bulky. This allows for the fine motor control necessary for precision assembly or maintenance work. The 3/4 nitrile foam coating is the defining design choice here; it provides the liquid resistance of a fully coated glove across the most vulnerable areas while allowing the back of the hand some degree of breathability. This balance of protection and comfort is essential for maintaining compliance on the shop floor.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This glove is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to meet specific safety certifications. Any addition of embroidery or heat-transferred logos could damage the structural integrity of the cut-resistant fibres or the protective nitrile coating. To ensure the product performs to its certified standards and provides the intended level of protection, we supply these gloves in their original, unadulterated state.
Use Cases
These gloves are an indispensable asset for metal fabricators, automotive technicians, and glass handlers. They are also highly recommended for carpenters and construction workers who frequently interact with oily machinery or sharp materials where a secure grip is a prerequisite for safety.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for British industry. Based in Telford, we have spent nearly half a century refining our knowledge of technical workwear and PPE. We understand that the right equipment is a tool in its own right, and we only source products that meet our exacting standards for durability and professional performance.
Practical Advice
Selecting the correct size is paramount for safety; a glove that is too large can impair your grip and become a snagging hazard, while one that is too small will cause hand fatigue. Given their lightweight nature, they provide excellent tactile feedback, so we recommend using them for tasks requiring a high degree of precision in slippery environments.
Caring for your product
To preserve the mechanical properties of your gloves, we recommend regular cleaning to remove oil and grit build-up. Neglecting to clean the nitrile surface can lead to a degradation of the grip over time as contaminants become embedded in the foam.
Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the nitrile coating to harden and crack, which would compromise the liquid resistance and flexibility of the glove. Avoid the use of industrial bleaches, as these chemical agents can weaken the HPPE and glass fibre liner, reducing the overall cut protection.
