Product Overview
The FD Cut C13 Nitrile Glove is a sophisticated piece of hand protection, specifically engineered to meet the demanding safety and hygiene standards of the food industry. Constructed with a specialised 13-gauge High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) liner, these gloves provide a robust barrier against lacerations while remaining flexible enough for precision work. The integrated nitrile coating adds a layer of durability and grip, making them an essential asset for any environment where sharp tools and food items are handled simultaneously.
Key Features
- Excellent Cut Protection: The HPPE material is designed to provide Cut Level C resistance, offering peace of mind when working with blades or sharp-edged food processing equipment.
- 13-Gauge Knit: This fine-knit construction ensures the glove is lightweight and provides exceptional dexterity, allowing the wearer to perform intricate tasks without hindrance.
- Nitrile Coating: The palm and finger coating provides a resilient surface that enhances grip in both dry and damp conditions, while also extending the overall lifespan of the glove.
- Food Grade Certified: Specifically tested to ensure no harmful substances migrate into food products, ensuring your facility remains compliant with health and safety regulations.
Design & Performance
The design of the FD Cut C13 focuses on the balance between protection and wearer comfort. The HPPE liner is naturally breathable, which helps to regulate hand temperature during long shifts in busy kitchens or processing plants. The blue colour of the glove is an intentional safety feature, common in the food industry to ensure easy visual detection. In terms of performance, the elasticated cuff ensures a secure fit, preventing the glove from slipping and ensuring that the wrist is also protected from debris.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation for this product because it is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) intended for direct contact with food. Introducing embroidery or heat-sealed transfers could compromise the integrity of the cut-resistant fibres or introduce foreign bodies, such as threads or ink fragments, into the food production line. To ensure your business maintains the highest safety and hygiene ratings, we supply these gloves in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals in meat and poultry processing, commercial catering, and industrial food packaging. They are particularly useful for cleaning machinery with sharp components or for tasks that require high tactile sensitivity combined with high-level hand protection.

Practical Advice
For the best results, ensure you select the correct size; a glove that is too tight can cause hand fatigue, while one that is too loose can become a snagging hazard. We recommend inspecting the gloves before every shift for any signs of wear or damage to the nitrile coating, as the protective properties are most effective when the glove is in good condition.
Caring for your product
To ensure your gloves continue to provide maximum protection and remain hygienic, proper maintenance is essential. Always refer to the specific instructions provided on the internal care label.
We recommend a standard domestic wash to remove organic matter and bacteria. Failure to wash food-grade gloves regularly can lead to cross-contamination and the buildup of unpleasant odours. Avoid using industrial-strength bleach, as this can degrade the HPPE fibres and significantly reduce the cut resistance of the material.
It is best to air dry these gloves naturally. Subjecting the nitrile coating to high heat in a tumble dryer can cause the material to shrink or become brittle, which will eventually lead to cracking and a loss of grip performance. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before their next use to maintain comfort and prevent skin irritation.
