The Portwest AP12 is a thin, sensitive coated glove for precise handling work. It suits manufacturing, paint applications, electronics and glass handling, especially where silicone is a problem. It comes as a pack of 12.
The liner is knitted from recycled PET yarn and finished with an ultra-thin micro-foam nitrile coating. You get a secure grip and a close feel for small parts, and you can use a touchscreen with the gloves on.
