Product Overview
The SG Cut B18 Eco Nitrile Glove represents a significant step forward in sustainable hand protection. By repurposing PET bottles into a high-performance yarn, this glove offers a reduced carbon footprint without sacrificing the rigorous safety standards required in modern industry. It is a lightweight, highly dexterous solution for professionals who require both precision and protection in their daily tasks.
Engineered with a fine 18-gauge knit, these gloves provide a second-skin feel that is often lacking in traditional protective wear. The integration of moisture-wicking properties ensures that comfort is maintained throughout the working day, making them a sensible choice for those committed to both worker wellbeing and environmental responsibility.
Key Features
- Sustainable PET Yarn: The use of recycled plastic bottles significantly lowers the carbon footprint of your workwear while providing excellent moisture-wicking properties to keep hands dry.
- Level B Cut Resistance: Provides reliable protection against moderate cut risks, ensuring compliance with safety standards for handling sharp components.
- Micro-foam Nitrile Coating: This coating offers 360-degree breathability, preventing the uncomfortable heat build-up often associated with coated gloves.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The index finger and thumb are designed to work with digital interfaces, allowing you to operate tablets and smartphones without removing your protection.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: Extra reinforcement in this high-stress area extends the life of the glove, ensuring it stands up to repetitive tasks.
Design & Performance
The design of the SG Cut B18 focuses on ergonomic excellence. It features a unique knitting structure with a dropped little finger, which allows for a more natural, snug fit that follows the contours of the hand. This reduces hand fatigue during long shifts and increases dexterity for fine assembly work.
The performance is further enhanced by the nitrile micro-foam coating. This coating is not only breathable but also provides a superior grip in both dry and slightly oily conditions. Despite its lightweight nature, the glove remains sturdy and durable, providing a professional-grade barrier between the wearer and the task at hand.
Why No Customisation?
To maintain the high safety standards and technical performance of these gloves, we do not offer customisation services such as printing or embroidery. Introducing needles through the fabric would compromise the cut-resistant integrity of the PET yarn, and heat-applied logos could damage the specialized nitrile coating and its breathable properties. These are supplied as-is to ensure your team remains fully protected as per the manufacturer's specifications.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for sectors such as precision engineering, automotive assembly, and light construction. They are particularly useful for technicians who need to toggle between manual tasks and digital data entry, thanks to the integrated touchscreen compatibility.

Practical Advice
To get the most out of the touchscreen functionality, ensure you select a size that provides a snug fit at the fingertips. If the glove is too large, the conductive material may not align correctly with your fingers, reducing the responsiveness of digital screens. These gloves are conveniently sold in packs of 12, making it easier to manage stock for your team.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your hand protection is essential for ensuring continued safety performance. We recommend regular inspection for any signs of wear or thinning of the nitrile coating which could signal the need for a fresh pair.
While you should always refer to the specific instructions provided on the internal labels, it is generally important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Using bleach, for example, can break down the synthetic PET fibres and the nitrile coating, which would significantly reduce the cut resistance and grip performance of the glove.
Excessive heat should also be avoided during any cleaning process. High temperatures can cause the nitrile micro-foam to become brittle or peel, impairing the 360-degree breathability and overall comfort that these gloves are designed to provide.
