  4. A697 - ESD Cut B13 PU Palm Glove (12 pack)

A697 - ESD Cut B13 PU Palm Glove (12 pack)

Product code: A697

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 A697 ESD PU Palm Glove in grey/white with anti-static carbon fibre shell and PU coating – 12 pack

Product Details

Portwest A697 ESD Cut B13 PU Palm Gloves — 12 Pack

In a static-sensitive process, a glove must be considered alongside the rest of the ESD controls. The A697 adds a carbon-fibre-containing liner to a PU palm construction, with Cut B mechanical performance. Compare it against your process requirements before selecting it for component handling.

Key Features

  • 13-gauge liner containing polyester, glass fibre and carbon fibre.
  • PU coating across the palm, with an uncoated back.
  • Cut Level B mechanical performance.
  • EN 16350 and IEC 61340-5-1 listed in the linked manufacturer data sheet.
  • Touchscreen capability on compatible devices.
  • Grey/white, sizes XS to XXL; this is the 12-pack listing.

Ideal Applications

Assess the A697 for electronics assembly, component testing and precision handling within an appropriate ESD-controlled process. Confirm both the electrostatic requirements and the mechanical risks of the workpieces; the ESD designation does not decide glove suitability on its own.

Use and Care

Use and maintain the glove in accordance with its supplied instructions and the workplace ESD procedure. Inspect the liner and palm before use and replace damaged or contaminated pairs. Check any required ESD performance controls after laundering or changes in working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ESD mean protection from electric shock?

No. Electrostatic control and electrical insulation serve different purposes. Do not use this glove as an insulating glove for live electrical work.

Is a normal handling glove an equivalent substitute?

Do not assume equivalence. A process with ESD requirements needs gloves and other controls that meet those requirements, alongside suitable mechanical performance.

Which option should I order?

This listing is the grey/white 12-pack version, with sizes XS to XXL. Select the size needed and confirm the pack shown in the order.

A673 - CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove
A673 - CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove

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.

A674 - CS Cut F13 Leather Glove
A674 - CS Cut F13 Leather 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.

A661 - CS Cut E18 Nitrile Glove
A661 - CS Cut E18 Nitrile Glove

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.

A660 - CS Cut E18 PU Glove
A660 - CS Cut E18 PU Glove

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.
