Product Overview
The Impact E13 Nitrile Sandy Glove is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed for environments where high-level cut hazards and impact risks are part of the daily routine. By integrating an innovative TPR design with a level E cut-resistant liner, this glove ensures that safety is never traded for manual dexterity. Unlike traditional impact gloves that can often feel cumbersome and restrictive, the A727 remains flexible and responsive, allowing for precision work in the most demanding industrial settings.
Key Features
- Level E Cut Resistance: The liner is meticulously engineered using a blend of HPPE, glass fibre, and steel fibre to provide a high barrier against sharp edges and blades, protecting the wearer from serious lacerations.
- Bonded TPR Pods: Rather than using traditional machine stitching, the Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) pods are bonded directly to the liner. This design choice allows the glove to move freely with the natural anatomy of the hand, reducing resistance and fatigue.
- Nitrile Sandy Coating: This specific palm coating provides a secure, textured grip that performs exceptionally well in both dry and oily conditions, ensuring you maintain control over your tools.
- Reinforced Protection: The combination of materials offers a robust defense against impact forces on the back of the hand while maintaining a lightweight feel for the user.
Design & Performance
The technical construction of the Impact E13 focuses on balancing structural integrity with user comfort. The liner is a complex knit of high-performance polyethylene, elastane, and metallic fibres. This results in a medium-weight fabric that feels substantial on the hand without being overly thick. The standout feature is the lack of internal stitching for the impact pods; by bonding these elements, the manufacturer has eliminated common pressure points that often lead to irritation during long shifts.
In terms of performance, the nitrile sandy finish is particularly durable. It resists abrasion and punctures better than standard foam coatings, making it a reliable choice for handling rough materials or heavy machinery where friction is constant.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is high-specification Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to meet stringent safety certifications for impact and cut resistance, we do not offer customisation. Adding embroidery or heat-applied logos could compromise the integrity of the protective fibres or interfere with the bonded TPR pods. To ensure your safety is never compromised, we provide these gloves in their original, certified state.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically tailored for professionals in heavy-duty industries. They are ideal for mechanical engineering, metal fabrication, and large-scale construction where the risk of hand impact and contact with sharp components is high. They are equally well-suited for technicians working in the oil and gas sector or any environment requiring a steady grip and high-level protection.

Practical Advice
To ensure the highest level of protection, selecting the correct size is paramount. A glove that is too large will reduce your grip efficiency and could pose a snagging hazard, while one that is too small will restrict movement and accelerate hand fatigue. If you notice any fraying of the steel or glass fibres in the liner, it is time to replace the pair to ensure your cut protection remains at the level E standard.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your safety gloves is essential for long-term protection. We recommend a gentle manual wash or a light machine cycle at a low temperature to remove dirt and oils. High temperatures should be avoided, as they can cause the nitrile coating to harden or degrade, significantly reducing its grip and flexibility.
Never use bleach or industrial solvents when cleaning these gloves. These chemicals can break down the molecular bonds of the HPPE and steel fibres, which would weaken the cut resistance and leave your hands vulnerable. It is a simple case of avoiding harsh chemicals to keep the tech doing its job.
Finally, always air dry your gloves naturally, away from direct heat sources such as radiators. Forcing the drying process with heat can cause the TPR pods to become brittle and eventually detach from the liner, which would render the impact protection useless.
