Product Overview
The ESD Cut B13 PU Palm Glove is a specialised piece of hand protection designed for environments where both physical safety and electrostatic sensitivity are paramount. Balancing technical performance with wearer comfort, this glove provides a Level B cut resistance, offering a dependable barrier against sharp objects and edges encountered in precision tasks. The integration of carbon fibre within the shell ensures that static electricity is effectively diverted, making it an essential choice for those handling sensitive electronic components or working in environments prone to electrostatic discharge.
Key Features
- Level B Cut Resistance: Provides a moderate level of protection against cuts, ensuring that hands remain safe when handling glass, metal shards, or sharp tools.
- Carbon Fibre Integration: The 13-gauge shell is woven with carbon fibre to dissipate static electricity, protecting sensitive equipment from potential damage.
- Polyurethane (PU) Palm Coating: This coating offers exceptional grip and dexterity, allowing for the precise handling of small parts without sacrificing safety.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Designed to work with most touchscreen devices, allowing you to operate digital interfaces and handheld scanners without removing your protection.
- Lightweight Knit: The fine-gauge polyester and elastane blend provides a close, flexible fit that reduces hand fatigue during long shifts.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a lightweight fabric shell, these gloves utilise a blend of polyester, glass fibre, and carbon fibre to achieve a high degree of technical performance. The glass fibre provides the necessary structural strength for cut resistance, while the carbon fibre ensures conductivity is maintained across the surface of the glove. The polyurethane palm coating is specifically chosen for its ability to provide a secure grip even in slightly oily conditions, whilst remaining thin enough to provide the tactile feedback required for intricate assembly work. The inclusion of elastane ensures the glove moves with the hand, providing a 'second-skin' feel that is often missing from heavier safety gloves.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for specific safety standards—including cut resistance and ESD protection—we do not offer customisation on these gloves. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers could compromise the integrity of the protective fibres or the conductive properties of the carbon mesh. To ensure your team remains fully protected and compliant with safety regulations, these items are supplied in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals working in electronics assembly, where preventing static discharge is as important as protecting the skin. They are also highly effective in automotive manufacturing and testing environments where sharp edges and precision components are frequently handled. Any role requiring the frequent use of touchscreen tablets or diagnostic equipment alongside physical manual handling will find these gloves particularly beneficial.

Practical Advice
For precision work, ensure you select the correct size to maintain maximum dexterity; a glove that is too loose will reduce your ability to handle small components effectively. If you are working between different workstations, the touchscreen compatibility means you won't need to constantly remove and replace your gloves, which not only improves efficiency but also ensures you are never unprotected while on the workshop floor.
Caring for your product
To maintain the specialised ESD and cut-resistant properties of these gloves, they should be kept clean and free from heavy contaminants. While specific washing instructions are not provided, generally, technical gloves should be cleaned gently to avoid breaking down the glass fibres or stripping the PU coating. Excessive heat during drying should be avoided, as this can damage the elastane and lead to a loss of the snug fit required for precision work.
Always inspect your gloves before each use for signs of wear, particularly on the fingertips and palm. Once the PU coating begins to thin or the knit shows signs of fraying, the cut protection and grip may be compromised, and the gloves should be replaced to ensure continued safety and performance.
