Product Overview
The Cut D13 PU Viz-Tex Glove is a technical solution for professionals operating in environments where mechanical hazards and low visibility are constant factors. Designed to offer a balance between high-level protection and the dexterity required for precise tasks, this glove utilizes a sophisticated HPPE and steel fibre liner to achieve a Level D cut resistance. The addition of a high-visibility lining ensures that hand signals and movements are clearly visible, adding a secondary layer of safety in busy or dimly lit workspaces.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: The integrated HPPE and steel fibre construction provides high-performance protection against sharp edges and laceration risks, ensuring safety during intensive manual handling.
- Polyurethane (PU) Palm Coating: The specialized dipping offers excellent abrasion resistance and a secure grip, which is essential for maintaining control over tools and materials.
- Contact Heat Protection: Achieving Level 1 for contact heat, these gloves offer a necessary thermal barrier when handling warm components briefly.
- High-Visibility Lining: The vibrant orange liner increases the wearer's visibility on-site, facilitating better communication and safety in shared work environments.
Design & Performance
Engineered for endurance, the glove features a lightweight yet incredibly strong liner made from a blend of HPPE, polyester, and elastane. This combination ensures a flexible fit that contours to the hand, reducing fatigue during long shifts. The PU coating is applied primarily to the palm and fingertips, allowing the back of the hand to remain breathable and ventilated. Despite its robust safety ratings, the glove remains a lightweight and supple piece of equipment, allowing for the fine motor skills required by carpenters and precision engineers alike.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this product to ensure your safety is never compromised. These gloves are manufactured to meet specific safety standards regarding cut and heat resistance. Applying heat-press transfers or embroidery could damage the structural integrity of the HPPE fibres or interfere with the protective PU coating. To maintain the certified protection levels of this personal protective equipment, we provide them strictly in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are an excellent choice for those working in glass handling, metal fabrication, and carpentry where sharp materials are frequently encountered. They are also highly effective for construction and utility workers who require high-visibility equipment while performing tasks that demand a high degree of manual dexterity.

Practical Advice
To ensure the highest level of protection, it is vital to select the correct size. A glove that is too loose can become caught in moving parts or reduce your grip, while one that is too tight can cause hand strain and limit blood flow. We recommend checking the fit around the wrist and fingertips to ensure full range of motion without excess material.
Caring for your product
To maintain the lifespan and protective qualities of your gloves, store them in a dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can degrade the synthetic fibres, potentially reducing their effectiveness over time.
If cleaning is required, avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches. These chemicals can break down the HPPE and steel fibres that provide the cut resistance, effectively compromising the safety of the glove. Instead, follow a gentle cleaning process to remove surface dirt.
Do not tumble dry or iron these gloves. The high temperatures involved in these processes can melt the Polyurethane coating and damage the elastane in the wrist, leading to a loss of shape and a significant reduction in the glove's protective performance.
