Portwest Grip 13 Nitrile High Dotted Glove (Pack of 12)

Precision grip, lasting durability, and specialist silicone-free construction come together in the Portwest Grip 13 Nitrile High Dotted Glove (A148) — a CE-certified, high-performance work glove engineered for demanding handling applications where grip reliability, hand comfort, and material compatibility are all critical considerations. Sold in a convenient pack of 12 pairs, the A148 is an exceptional choice for manufacturing, electronics, glass handling, and paint environments where silicone and DMF contamination cannot be tolerated.

Silicone Free and DMF Free — The Critical Detail for Specialist Industries

For most work gloves, silicone and DMF content is an afterthought. For electronics manufacturers, automotive paint shops, glass handling operations, and precision assembly environments, it's a dealbreaker. Silicone contamination causes adhesion failures, surface defects, and finish inconsistencies that are costly, time-consuming, and damaging to product quality. The A148 is fully silicone free and DMF free — independently verified to be safe for use in environments where these substances are strictly prohibited. It's a specialist specification that makes the A148 the correct choice where standard nitrile gloves simply aren't suitable.

Nitrile Foam Dotted Palm — Exceptional Grip in Wet and Dry Conditions

At the heart of the A148's performance is its foam nitrile dotted palm — a dual-action grip system that combines the conforming, tactile properties of nitrile foam with the mechanical grip enhancement of a raised dot pattern. The foam nitrile coating conforms closely to the surface being handled, maximising contact area and tactile feedback, while the dot pattern increases friction across a wide range of materials and surface conditions. Together they deliver exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions — making the A148 reliable and consistent regardless of the working environment.

Multi-Layered Construction for Superior Durability and Longer Lifecycle

The A148 is built on a multi-layered construction that significantly enhances abrasion resistance and extends the working life of each pair compared to single-layer alternatives. The combination of an acrylic, polyester, and elastane knit base with nitrile foam and nitrile dot coatings creates a glove that withstands the mechanical demands of intensive industrial handling — delivering consistently strong performance across repeated use cycles and reducing the cost-per-wear for high-consumption operations. The ANSI/ISEA 105:2016 Abrasion Level 6 rating — the highest achievable — reflects just how exceptional the A148's abrasion resistance truly is.

13-Gauge Liner for Precise Fit and All-Day Comfort

The glove is constructed on a 13-gauge knit liner — a fine-gauge construction that produces a close, precise fit that closely follows the natural contours of the hand. The 13-gauge liner delivers the kind of tactile sensitivity and dexterity that coarser-gauge gloves cannot match, making the A148 suitable for detailed, precision-oriented handling tasks as well as general industrial work. The ergonomic design further reduces the muscular effort required to maintain grip over extended periods, actively working to reduce hand fatigue during long or repetitive working shifts.

Contact Heat Protection Up to 100°C

The A148 provides certified protection against contact heat up to 100°C, offering a meaningful thermal safety margin for workers in environments where incidental contact with warm surfaces, heated components, or hot packaging is a regular occurrence. This thermal protection adds practical safety value to a glove already delivering specialist grip and material compatibility benefits.

Cold and Convective Cold Resistance

In addition to its heat protection credentials, the A148 is certified to EN 511:2006 (X3X), confirming resistance to convective cold — making it a versatile option for environments with variable temperature conditions or cold storage handling requirements.

CE Certified with Comprehensive Multi-Standard Compliance

The A148 holds CE certification and is tested to an extensive range of European and ANSI/ISEA safety standards covering mechanical protection, thermal resistance, cold resistance, and dexterity. With an ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A2, Abrasion Level 6, and Puncture Level 2 alongside its European certifications, the A148 is one of the most broadly and rigorously certified gloves in its class.

Sold in a Pack of 12 Pairs

The A148 is sold in a pack of 12 pairs — an ideal format for facilities managers, safety officers, and PPE buyers supplying gloves to production teams, assembly lines, or any high-consumption industrial operation. The pack format delivers consistent supply and cost efficiency without the inconvenience of frequent individual reordering.

Ideal For: Electronics manufacturing, automotive paint applications, glass handling, precision assembly, light engineering, manufacturing quality inspection, and any application where silicone-free and DMF-free glove certification is a mandatory requirement alongside reliable grip and mechanical protection.
