Product Overview
The SG Cut C15 Eco Nitrile Glove represents a significant advancement in sustainable hand protection, proving that safety and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand. This glove is developed from a unique concept that transforms recycled PET bottles into a high-performance yarn. The result is a fine-gauge glove that offers exceptional moisture-managing properties, ensuring that the wearer's hands remain dry and comfortable even during intensive manual tasks. By choosing this glove, businesses are opting for a product with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional nylon or polyester alternatives.
Key Features
- Sustainable PET Yarn: By repurposing plastic bottles into wearable protection, this glove significantly reduces environmental impact without compromising on safety or performance.
- TDM Cut Level C Resistance: This provides a high degree of protection against sharp edges and materials, making it an essential choice for high-risk manual handling.
- Micro-foam Nitrile Coating: This specialized coating offers 360-degree breathability, allowing heat to dissipate and keeping hands cool throughout the working day.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The index finger and thumb are engineered for use with digital screens, allowing for seamless transitions between manual work and data entry.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: This added reinforcement in a high-stress area greatly enhances the durability and lifespan of the glove.
Design & Performance
The design of the SG Cut C15 focuses heavily on ergonomics and tactile feedback. The fine-gauge knitting structure is complemented by a dropped little finger design, which ensures a snug, anatomical fit that follows the natural contours of the hand. This reduces hand fatigue and increases precision when handling small components or tools.
Performance is further enhanced by the micro-foam nitrile coating, which provides a superior grip in both dry and slightly oily conditions. The lightweight nature of the recycled yarn ensures that the glove feels like a second skin, providing the dexterity required for intricate tasks while maintaining the robust protection of a TDM cut level C rating.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these gloves because they are technical pieces of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any alteration to the fabric, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, could potentially damage the cut-resistant fibres or the integrity of the nitrile coating. To ensure your team remains fully protected to the certified standards, these gloves are supplied in their original, high-performance state.
Use Cases
These gloves are an excellent choice for professionals such as carpenters, glaziers, and assembly line workers who require a balance of cut protection and fine motor control. They are also perfectly suited for warehouse operations where the use of touchscreen tablets and handheld scanners is frequent, as the compatible fingertips remove the need to constantly remove the gloves.

Practical Advice
Given the snug-fitting nature of the knitting structure and the dropped little finger design, it is important to select the correct size to ensure full dexterity. A well-fitted glove will allow the moisture-managing yarn to work effectively against the skin, while ensuring the touchscreen-compatible tips align correctly with your fingers.
Caring for your product
Proper care is essential to maintain the protective qualities and the lifespan of your eco-nitrile gloves. Maintaining the integrity of the fibres ensures that the cut resistance and breathability remain effective for as long as possible.
When cleaning is necessary, we recommend a gentle wash to remove dirt and surface contaminants. It is crucial to avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents can degrade the recycled PET fibres and weaken the cut-resistant properties of the material.
The gloves should be air-dried away from direct heat sources. Using a tumble dryer or placing them on a radiator can cause the micro-foam nitrile coating to harden or crack, which would significantly reduce the glove's grip and flexibility. Ironing must be avoided entirely, as the high heat will melt the synthetic fibres and ruin the protective coating.
