Product Overview
The FD Grip 15 Nitrile Gauntlet represents a significant step forward in food-grade hand protection. When working in high-pressure food processing environments, the balance between safety and dexterity is often difficult to strike. This glove addresses that challenge directly by combining a highly flexible liner with a robust nitrile coating. Designed specifically to prevent food contamination while protecting the wearer from liquids and oils, it is a reliable choice for businesses that cannot afford to compromise on hygiene standards.
Key Features
- 15-Gauge Liner: The fine-knit construction provides superior dexterity and a 'second-skin' feel, allowing workers to handle small items or complex tasks with absolute precision.
- Full Nitrile Dip: By coating the entire glove in nitrile, we ensure a comprehensive barrier that prevents food products from coming into contact with the skin and vice versa.
- Extra-Strong Film: The nitrile coating is engineered for durability, ensuring that the glove remains intact and protective even during long, demanding shifts.
- Food Grade Certification: Specifically designed and approved for food handling, giving you confidence that your PPE meets stringent safety regulations.
Design & Performance
The performance of the AP72 is rooted in its material composition. The liner is crafted from a blend of nylon and elastic, which offers a snug, comfortable fit that moves with the hand rather than resisting it. This lightweight fabric ensures that hand fatigue is minimised, even during repetitive movements typical of production lines.
The full nitrile dip is not just about protection; it is about grip. The texture of the film is designed to provide a secure hold on both wet and dry food products, reducing the risk of accidents or product loss. Furthermore, the bright blue colour is a deliberate safety feature, ensuring that in the unlikely event of damage, any part of the glove is easily detectable within the food chain.
Why No Customisation?
In the world of food safety, the addition of embroidery threads or printing inks is a risk we simply do not take. Customisation can introduce potential contaminants or compromise the integrity of the liquid-proof nitrile barrier. To ensure these gloves remain fully compliant with food-grade standards and safe for use in sterile environments, they are supplied exactly as manufactured.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideally suited for industrial food processing, commercial catering, and large-scale kitchen operations. They are particularly effective when handling fats, oils, or liquids where a standard fabric glove would fail. Whether you are working on a deboning line or managing high-volume ingredient preparation, these gloves provide the necessary protection.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm and at the fingertips. A glove that is too large will significantly reduce the benefits of the high-dexterity liner, making precision tasks more difficult. If you are layering these over thermal liners for cold-store work, you may wish to consider moving up one size to maintain comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and hygiene of your nitrile gauntlets, it is vital to inspect them before every use. Even a small puncture can compromise the food-safe barrier and lead to contamination. Should you find any tears or degradation in the nitrile film, the gloves should be replaced immediately.
Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV light or heat can cause the nitrile coating to become brittle over time, reducing its flexibility and protective qualities. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is recommended for external contaminants, but ensure they are fully dried before their next use to maintain wearer comfort.
