Work Gloves and Hand Protection
Compare handling, cleaning and disposable glove options
Compare work gloves for handling, cleaning and disposable-use tasks. The range includes coated reusable gloves and disposable options, with materials, sizes and pack quantities shown on each product page.
Choose the glove against the actual hazards and the wearer’s fit. Grip and dexterity are useful selection factors, but protection against cuts, chemicals, heat or other risks must be checked using the exact product’s documented performance.
Portwest A123 gloves combine a polyester and latex-free elastane liner with a polyurethane-coated palm for small-parts handling and general assembly. The 13-gauge construction provides a close-fitting alternative to heavier work gloves, while the uncoated back allows ventilation. This listing supplies a full carton of 144 pairs, making the pack quantity clear when ordering for a team. Choose from the listed black gloves in sizes XXS to XXL and check the fit before placing a bulk order. The A123 carries an EN 388 rating of 3131X and an ANSI cut level of A1. Use those ratings alongside your workplace assessment; latex-free materials do not mean protection against every substance or skin sensitivity.
Portwest A335 gloves place a sandy-textured nitrile coating on the palm of a 15-gauge polyester liner. The fine knit is useful when handling small components, with an uncoated back that allows ventilation. For buyers comparing general handling gloves, this model offers a different contact surface from a smooth PU-coated palm. Astral Hygiene lists the A335 in black and orange/black, with sizes XS to XXL. Select the colour and size required before ordering, and test the fit against the movements involved in the job. Use the supplied glove markings and data sheet to confirm the protection needed for assembly, packing or maintenance tasks; a nitrile palm coating alone does not establish chemical protection.
The Portwest A657 is a single cut-resistant glove liner for food-handling tasks. Its ambidextrous shape fits either hand, so buyers can order for the hand that needs protection rather than purchasing an unwanted pair. The uncoated, 10-gauge knit combines HPPE, steel fibre, polyester and nylon, with low-lint construction and documented Cut Level F performance. This grey liner is listed in sizes S to XXL. Portwest’s data sheet records testing through 20 washes at temperatures up to 92°C, which is useful when planning a controlled laundering routine. Match the glove to the task and your food-hygiene procedures, and follow its supplied instructions. Cut resistance helps manage risk but does not make a glove cut-proof.
Portwest A660 gloves combine an 18-gauge cut-resistant liner with a smooth polyurethane palm coating. They are an option for precision handling where the task needs Cut Level E performance and a fine-knit construction. Reinforcement between the thumb and forefinger covers a common wear area when gripping components or tools. Astral Hygiene lists this black glove in sizes XS to XXL. The A660 supports use with many touchscreen devices, helping teams check a screen without routinely removing their gloves; test compatibility with your own equipment. Compare its PU palm against nitrile-coated alternatives for your handling conditions. Confirm the size and supplied protection markings before ordering for the wider team, and remember that cut resistance is not cut-proof protection.
Portwest A661 gloves use a nitrile foam palm over an 18-gauge cut-resistant liner. They offer a coating alternative to the PU-coated A660 when buyers are comparing gloves for wet and dry handling. The liner combines HPPE, nylon and steel fibre, with reinforcement at the thumb-to-forefinger area where repeated gripping can concentrate wear. This listing offers black gloves in sizes XS to XXL. Cut Level E and ANSI A5 performance are documented for the model, alongside compatibility with many touchscreen devices. Test the glove on your actual workpieces and screens before standardising it across a team. The foam palm supports handling; it does not turn an open-backed glove into a waterproof or chemical-resistant protective glove.
Portwest A671 gloves bring together a 13-gauge cut-resistant liner and a crinkle-textured latex palm. For teams comparing handling gloves, the textured coating is the main practical difference from smooth PU and nitrile foam alternatives. The model has documented Cut Level F performance and a reflective label on the glove. Astral Hygiene lists black gloves in sizes XS to XXL. Check the size against the wearer’s hand and trial the coating on the materials being handled, including any wet contact surfaces. The A671 contains latex, so choose a different construction where that material is unsuitable. Use the full protection markings and supplied instructions when selecting it for sharp-edged workpieces; a cut rating does not establish protection for every handling hazard.
The Portwest A673 puts Cut Level F performance into an 18-gauge glove with a nitrile foam palm. It gives buyers a fine-knit option to compare when a general handling glove’s cut rating is insufficient for the task. A reinforced thumb-to-forefinger area covers a frequent gripping wear point, while the glove’s back remains uncoated. Black sizes XS to XXL are listed here. The A673 also supports many touchscreen devices, which can help when work involves checking a handheld screen between handling operations. Compare fit, coating and the full EN 388 code with other Cut F models before buying for a team. A laboratory cut rating does not make the glove cut-proof or establish chemical protection.
Portwest A674 gloves use a reinforced leather palm over a 13-gauge cut-resistant liner. The leather contact surface distinguishes this model from PU- and nitrile-coated gloves, giving buyers another construction to assess for edged workpieces and repeated palm contact. Reinforcement extends to the palm and forefinger, with a reflective label on the glove. Black gloves are listed in sizes XS to XXL. The A674 has documented Cut Level F and ANSI A7 performance, plus an EN 407 contact-heat rating. Check those results against the actual task, including exposure time and material temperature, before choosing it for warm components. Select the fit carefully and trial the leather palm on your workpieces; neither cut resistance nor heat testing removes the need for suitable handling controls.
Portwest A697 gloves combine a PU-coated palm with a 13-gauge liner containing carbon fibre. They are intended for assessed static-sensitive handling where buyers also need documented Cut Level B performance. This listing is the 12-pack version in grey/white, with sizes XS to XXL shown in the product options. Check the glove as part of your workplace’s complete ESD control arrangement, including the requirements for grounding and handling electronic components. ESD performance is different from electrical insulation and must not be treated as shock protection. The A697 supports use with many touchscreen devices; test the chosen size with your screens and workpieces before ordering for the team. Confirm the pack and selected option at checkout.
Portwest A770 utility gloves use a synthetic leather palm with reinforcement around the thumb and fingertips. The wrist strap lets the wearer adjust the closure, making this a different fit option from a simple knitted cuff. For buyers comparing mechanic-style gloves, those contact areas and fastening details are useful points to assess on the actual job. This black/yellow model is listed in sizes S to XXL and supports use with many touchscreen devices. Reflective tape is included on the glove, while the linked data sheet records EN 388 mechanical performance of 2121X. Check that rating against the task before ordering. Trial the fit and screen compatibility with your team’s equipment rather than assuming one utility glove suits every operation.
Portwest A771 gloves have reinforced padded palms and additional knuckle padding, giving buyers a mechanic-style option to compare against thin knitted handling gloves. The construction uses polyurethane, nylon and elastic, with documented EN 388 performance of 2X22B. Consider both the fit and padded contact areas when assessing it for repeated tool or component handling. Astral Hygiene lists the black/yellow model in sizes S to XXL. It supports use with many touchscreen devices, so test your team’s screens with the selected size during a workplace trial. Padding is a construction feature rather than proof of protection against every impact or vibration exposure. Check the supplied markings and instructions against the task before deciding whether this is the right glove.
Portwest A776 gloves pair a goatskin leather palm with an insulating textile lining for cold-condition handling. This is the lined PW3 model to compare when an uninsulated utility glove does not meet the task’s cold requirements. Its materials include nylon and elastic, and the published cold-performance code is EN 511 12X. Astral Hygiene lists black/yellow gloves in sizes S to XXL. Choose the fit with finger movement and the thickness of the lining in mind, particularly when handling tools or small parts. The model supports many touchscreen devices, but compatibility should be trialled on your equipment. Portwest describes a membrane and water-resistant construction; check the supplied instructions rather than assuming the glove is suitable for prolonged immersion.
Portwest A792 gloves have zone-specific needle-resistance performance, so buyers need to look beyond a single headline level. Portwest specifies level 5 at the palm, level 3 at the fingers and level 1 at the finger sidewalls. The construction combines nylon, mesh wire and polyurethane, with a textured synthetic leather palm and an adjustable wrist strap. Use those regional ratings when assessing how the hand may contact sharps during the actual task. Needle-resistant does not mean needle-proof, and the glove remains one part of a controlled handling procedure. Confirm the supplied size and current product documentation with Astral Hygiene before ordering if they are not shown here; the manufacturer’s wider size range does not confirm the option supplied by this listing.
Portwest AP10 gloves use a 15-gauge liner made with bamboo viscose, nylon and elastane, with nitrile foam across the palm. The blend gives buyers a distinct liner option to compare with polyester or nylon handling gloves. This listing is the black 12-pack version, with sizes XS to XXL available in the product options. Assess the AP10 for the materials and movements involved in your handling task, using its EN 388 code of 4121X alongside the workplace requirements. Portwest describes a latex-free construction; that material statement does not promise suitability for every skin sensitivity. Try the fit and palm coating before ordering for the whole team, and use the supplied instructions to plan cleaning, storage and replacement.
Portwest AP12 gloves combine a recycled-PET-containing 15-gauge liner with a nitrile micro-foam coating. Portwest states that the model contains 40% recycled material, giving buyers a measurable composition detail rather than a broad environmental promise. The knit includes a dropped little-finger shape, and the index finger and thumb support use with compatible touchscreen devices. This grey/black listing supplies 12 pairs, with sizes XS to 3XL shown in the options. Compare the liner fit and coating on your workpieces before selecting it for a team. The AP12 has documented EN 388 and EN 407 performance; match those test results to the task rather than assuming unrestricted cut or heat protection. Follow the supplied care instructions and plan replacements around glove condition.
Portwest AP55 gloves combine bonded TPR impact pods with a fully dipped nitrile construction. The pods are attached directly to the liner rather than stitched on, while the coating covers more of the hand than a palm-only handling glove. This gives buyers a different construction to assess where impact exposure and wet contact conditions occur together. Astral Hygiene lists grey/black gloves in sizes S to XXL. The model has an 18-gauge liner and documented EN 388 performance of 4X43DP. Check the full supplied protection information against the task, including cut risk, impact and liquid exposure. Waterproof construction does not establish resistance to every chemical, and the correct fit remains essential for handling tools and components accurately.
Portwest AP65 gloves combine a 15-gauge nylon and latex-free elastane liner with a nitrile foam palm. The model includes a Texpel finish, but glove condition and the workplace’s cleaning routine still decide when a pair needs replacement. For buyers comparing foam-coated handling gloves, the liner material, fit and documented abrasion performance are useful selection details. Astral Hygiene lists black/grey gloves in sizes XS to XXL. The published EN 388 code is 4131A, with ANSI cut level A1 also listed by Portwest. Trial the palm coating on your workpieces and check the fit during the handling movements involved. Latex-free construction does not promise suitability for every skin sensitivity, and a nitrile coating alone does not establish chemical protection.
Blue vinyl gloves offer a powder-free, disposable option for routine tasks where frequent glove changes are part of the working procedure. Supplied in an easy-open box of 100, they have an ambidextrous design so each glove can be worn on either hand. The vinyl material provides an alternative to natural rubber latex. Choose the appropriate size for a comfortable fit and the movement needed for your task. These single-use gloves should be replaced between activities and whenever damaged or contaminated. Check the supplied packaging and product documentation before selecting them for food contact, medical procedures or work with chemicals; material alone does not confirm suitability.
Household Rubber Cleaning Gloves provide a reusable option for everyday household cleaning and washing-up tasks where this glove type is suitable. Sold by the pair, they offer an extra-grip surface to help with handling cleaning tools and other items during routine work. Choosing the correct size helps the gloves fit comfortably and allows better control. Available in small, medium, large and extra large, with red, green, yellow and blue options, these gloves can be assigned to different cleaning areas. They are useful for household users, janitorial teams and workplace cleaning kits. Check the cleaning product’s instructions and required glove protection before use, inspect each pair for damage, and keep separate pairs for tasks that should not share equipment.
Powder-free latex gloves combine a flexible natural rubber material with a close fit for tasks that need finger movement and touch sensitivity. Supplied in boxes of 100, these disposable gloves are ambidextrous, allowing each glove to be worn on either hand. The powder-free finish helps avoid introducing glove powder into the working area. Choose the correct size and check the supplied specification against your intended task before use. Natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions, so these gloves are unsuitable for anyone with a latex allergy. Replace gloves between tasks and if torn or contaminated, and follow your workplace hand hygiene and disposal procedures.
These nitrile gloves provide a powder-free, disposable option for routine workplace handling and hygiene procedures. The selector offers blue and black options in Small to X-Large. Made from synthetic nitrile rather than natural rubber latex, they have an ambidextrous design and textured fingertips to assist grip. Each box contains 100 individual gloves, rather than 100 pairs. Select the correct size and colour, and confirm that the supplied glove specification matches the task. Suitability for particular chemicals, food contact or medical use depends on the exact product’s documented testing and certification. Change gloves between activities and whenever damaged or contaminated; disposable gloves support, but do not replace, an effective hand hygiene routine.
Optima heavy duty black rubber gloves are designed for cleaning and maintenance tasks that call for a reusable glove with a secure grip. The embossed outer surface helps with handling, while the cotton flock lining adds comfort and absorbs perspiration. Supplied as a pair, they offer an alternative to lightweight disposable gloves for suitable routine jobs. Confirm the supplied size with Astral Hygiene before ordering, as no size selector is currently displayed here. Check the glove specification against the products and conditions involved. Chemical resistance is specific to the substance, concentration and exposure time; these gloves should not be treated as universally chemical resistant. Inspect before use and follow the supplied cleaning and storage instructions.
Choose Material, Fit and Grip
Check the liner, coating, cuff and size range. A glove should permit the movement and control needed for the task without slipping or feeling excessively tight. Consider whether the work involves dry, damp or contaminated surfaces and follow the manufacturer’s use limitations.
Read the Specific Protection Data
Different hazards require different evidence. General handling or cut performance does not establish chemical, needle, electrical or heat protection. Confirm food-contact or medical suitability only where it is documented for the supplied glove. Check whether the listed quantity refers to gloves, pairs, boxes or cartons.
