Product Overview
The A680 Cut F21 Nitrile Tungsten Glove represents a significant advancement in hand protection, engineering a solution where maximum safety and high dexterity are no longer mutually exclusive. Despite its remarkably thin and lightweight construction, this glove achieves the highest possible EN388 and ANSI cut resistance ratings, providing a formidable barrier against sharp edges and mechanical risks. By utilising a sophisticated 21-gauge liner, the glove offers a second-skin feel that is essential for precision tasks, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of productivity or comfort.
Key Features
- Advanced Dual Tungsten Core: The integration of a dual tungsten core provides superior resistance to cuts and lacerations, ensuring the wearer is protected in the most hazardous environments.
- 21-Gauge Liner: This exceptionally fine knit offers unparalleled flexibility and tactile sensitivity, allowing for the handling of small components with ease.
- Micro Foam Nitrile Coating: This specialised coating significantly enhances grip in both dry and slightly oily conditions, reducing hand fatigue and improving control.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The ability to operate digital devices without removing the gloves ensures continuous protection and efficiency throughout the working day.
- Silicone and Latex-Free: The composition is designed to be hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive environments, such as automotive painting or electronics assembly, where contamination must be avoided.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A680 is rooted in its innovative material blend, which includes HPPE, steel fibre, and tungsten. This combination results in a fabric that is incredibly resilient yet remains supple. The lightweight nature of the glove ensures it does not become a burden during long shifts, while the micro foam nitrile coating provides a breathable barrier that helps to manage moisture. It is a technical garment designed for those who require the highest level of hand protection without sacrificing the ability to perform intricate, high-precision work.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This specific item is a piece of high-specification Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) with strictly certified cut-resistance ratings. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the tungsten-infused fibres or the nitrile coating. To ensure these gloves perform exactly as intended by the manufacturer and meet the necessary safety standards, we provide them exclusively in their original, un-customised state.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for professionals engaged in carpentry, metal fabrication, and glass handling where the risk of cuts is high but precision is non-negotiable. They are also perfectly suited for intricate assembly lines and sensitive manufacturing environments where the silicone-free properties ensure that no residues are left on critical surfaces.

Practical Advice
To achieve the full benefit of the 21-gauge liner, it is essential to select the correct size. A snug fit ensures that the touchscreen compatibility works effectively and that there is no excess material to get caught in machinery or hinder your dexterity. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the size that allows for the most tactile feedback at the fingertips.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of high-performance safety gloves is essential for ensuring they continue to provide the certified level of protection. While these gloves are durable, they should be regularly inspected for any signs of wear, punctures, or degradation of the nitrile coating. If the protective surface is compromised, the gloves should be replaced immediately to avoid unnecessary risk.
We recommend keeping the gloves clean by wiping them with a damp cloth to remove surface debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleaching agents, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and the tungsten core, significantly reducing the cut resistance. Furthermore, avoid exposing the gloves to direct heat sources when drying, as extreme temperatures can cause the nitrile coating to become brittle and lose its grip properties.
