The Portwest AP18 is a lightweight cut-resistant glove for ultra high dexterity tasks. Its silicone-free build suits manufacturing, paint applications, electronics and glass handling, where silicone can cause problems.
The 15 gauge liner is knitted from yarn made from recycled plastic bottles. A micro-foam nitrile coating gives grip while letting the hand breathe all round. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips let you use most mobile devices without taking the gloves off. Each pack contains 12 pairs.
