Portwest GP Grip 15 Nitrile Micro Foam Glove

Precision, protection, and an exceptional breadth of certified performance features come together in the Portwest GP Grip 15 Nitrile Micro Foam Glove (A370) — a comprehensively specified, CE-certified work glove engineered for precision handling across dry, wet, and oily conditions. With touchscreen compatibility, antimicrobial Texpel Micro treatment, food safe certification, machine washability, dermatological approval, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, and a 100% latex-free construction, the A370 is one of the most feature-rich and broadly certified gloves in the Portwest range — delivering genuine all-environment versatility for professionals who demand the very best from their hand protection.

Washed Nitrile Micro Foam Coating — Precision Grip in Any Condition

The A370's palm is coated in a washed nitrile micro foam — a highly refined coating technology that delivers excellent grip performance across wet, dry, and oily surfaces through its fine, open-cell foam structure. The micro foam coating conforms closely to surface textures, maximising contact area and tactile feedback to provide the precise, confident grip that detailed handling tasks demand. Nitrile's inherent resistance to oils, fuels, acids, and alkalis adds a further layer of practical protection, making the A370 reliable and effective across a broad spectrum of working conditions and environments.

15-Gauge Liner — Precision Fit with Maximum Dexterity

Built on a 15-gauge nylon and latex-free elastane knit liner, the A370 delivers a close, precise fit that closely follows the natural contours of the hand. The 15-gauge construction represents the optimum balance between tactile sensitivity and structural durability — providing the dexterity needed for detailed, small-parts handling tasks alongside the robustness to withstand demanding daily use. Nylon's high tensile strength combined with the additional stretch of elastane produces a glove that fits securely, moves naturally with the hand, and maintains its shape and performance across repeated use and washing cycles.

Touchscreen Compatible — Uninterrupted Productivity

The A370 features touchscreen-compatible fingertips that allow seamless operation of most mobile touchscreen devices — phones, tablets, scanners, and terminals — without removing the glove. In modern production, logistics, and inspection environments where digital devices are integral to daily workflow, this capability eliminates the constant interruption and hand exposure risk of glove removal, delivering a meaningful improvement in both productivity and hand protection compliance throughout the working shift.

Texpel Micro Antimicrobial Finish — Kills 99.9% of Bacteria

The A370 is treated with a Texpel Micro antimicrobial finish that kills 99.9% of bacteria on the glove surface — an advanced hygiene feature that makes the glove particularly valuable in food processing, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, and hygiene-critical environments. The antimicrobial treatment reduces the risk of bacterial cross-contamination, extends the hygienic working life of each pair, and supports workplace hygiene compliance at a level that untreated gloves simply cannot provide.

CE Food Safe Certified

The A370 holds CE food safe certification — confirming its suitability for use in direct food contact applications. This makes it an exceptional choice for food manufacturing, food processing, catering, and distribution environments where hand protection must meet the strictest hygiene and material safety requirements without compromising grip or dexterity.

Machine Washable to 30°C — Certified Performance Maintained After Washing

The A370 is machine washable to 30°C and uniquely certified to EN 388 after three wash cycles — providing independently verified assurance that the glove maintains its mechanical protection performance through repeated laundering. For operations focused on sustainability, cost efficiency, and reducing single-use PPE waste, this washability credential makes the A370 a responsible and economically sound choice without any compromise on certified safety performance.

100% Latex Free and DMF Free

The A370 is 100% latex free — eliminating the risk of latex allergy reactions for sensitive wearers and making it safe for use across diverse workforces without restriction. It is also fully DMF free, confirming its suitability for electronics, paint, and specialist manufacturing applications where DMF contamination cannot be tolerated.

Dermatologically Approved and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certified

The A370 is dermatologically tested and approved — independently verified to be skin-friendly and suitable for all-day wear without causing irritation, even for workers with sensitive skin. Combined with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification confirming the absence of harmful substances across every component of the glove's construction, the A370 offers a level of material safety assurance that goes well beyond standard CE certification — giving workers, safety officers, and procurement managers complete confidence in both the glove's performance and its suitability for sustained skin contact.

Breathable, High-Wicking Moisture Management

The A370's construction incorporates breathable, high-wicking moisture management properties that actively draw perspiration away from the skin during extended wear — keeping hands drier, more comfortable, and less prone to the fatigue and irritation that excess moisture can cause during long or physically demanding working shifts.

Low Linting Construction for Minimal Contamination

The low linting construction of the A370 minimises fibre shedding during use — a critical requirement for cleanroom, electronics, pharmaceutical, and precision manufacturing environments where particulate contamination of products, components, or surfaces cannot be tolerated.

Contact Heat Protection Up to 100°C

Rounding out the A370's comprehensive protection profile, the glove provides certified protection against contact heat up to 100°C — safeguarding hands against incidental contact with warm surfaces, heated machinery, and hot components across a wide range of industrial and production environments.

Ideal For: Food manufacturing and processing, pharmaceutical production, electronics assembly, cleanroom environments, precision manufacturing, inspection, logistics, and any application requiring a touchscreen-compatible, food safe, antimicrobial, latex-free work glove with certified grip performance in wet, dry, and oily conditions.
