Ideal Applications
Assess this model for handling edged components and other workpieces where Cut F performance and a textured latex palm match the task. Compare grip under the actual dry or wet conditions and confirm that latex is suitable for the wearer and workplace.
Use and Care
Examine the liner and coating before use, especially across the fingertips and palm. Follow the supplied care instructions and replace gloves when damage or contamination affects their condition. Store replacements away from heat and sunlight in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this glove contain latex?
Yes. Its palm coating is latex. Choose another material where latex is unsuitable for the wearer or workplace.
What does the crinkle palm change?
It gives the contact surface a texture distinct from smooth PU. Test how it handles the specific workpieces and moisture conditions in your workplace.
Does the reflective label replace hi-vis clothing?
No. It is a glove feature, not evidence of high-visibility clothing certification.
Is Cut F protection cut-proof?
No. The rating reports a laboratory test result; it does not remove the need for task controls and correct glove selection.
