Portwest CS Cut C18 Nitrile Glove

The Portwest CS Cut C18 Nitrile Glove (A636) delivers outstanding cut protection and all-day comfort in a single high-performance package. Engineered with a Level C cut-resistant liner and a durable nitrile foam coating, this glove is purpose-built for workers who need reliable hand protection without sacrificing dexterity or tactile sensitivity.

Designed for Demanding Work Environments

Whether you're handling sheet metal, glass, automotive components, or sharp-edged parts, the A636 provides the protection you need to work with confidence. The 18-gauge HPPE, steel fibre, and glass fibre liner delivers a superb balance of cut resistance and flexibility, enabling natural hand movement throughout extended shifts. Unlike bulkier cut-resistant gloves, the lightweight 18-gauge construction keeps fatigue to a minimum while maintaining a maximum Dexterity 5 rating under EN ISO 21420.

Advanced Nitrile Foam Grip Technology

The micro foam nitrile coating on the A636 sets it apart from standard coated gloves. Nitrile is a synthetic rubber widely recognised for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, acids, and alkalis — making this glove a reliable choice in automotive workshops, manufacturing lines, and maintenance settings. The micro foam construction enhances liquid absorption, reducing breakthrough while maintaining a secure, non-slip grip in both wet and dry conditions. The result is exceptional durability that stands up to daily wear without compromising handling precision.

Touchscreen Compatible for Modern Workplaces

Stay connected on the job without removing your gloves. The Portwest A636 is fully compatible with most mobile touchscreen devices, allowing workers to operate smartphones, tablets, and touchscreen equipment seamlessly. This eliminates the need to repeatedly remove and re-fit gloves, improving both productivity and safety on-site.

Reinforced Thumb Crotch for Extended Durability

High-stress areas demand extra reinforcement. The A636 features a reinforced thumb crotch, providing additional protection and durability right where gloves tend to wear out fastest. This design detail ensures a longer service life and a better return on your PPE investment.

Contact Heat Protection

Rated for contact heat up to 100°C under EN 407, the A636 offers an additional layer of defence for workers who occasionally handle warm materials or surfaces — a practical advantage in fabrication, warehousing, and general industrial applications.
