A673 - CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove

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 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 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.
