Expert Review and  Insights

The Mapa Ultrane 641 is a standout for general-purpose work. It perfectly bridges the gap between flimsy disposables and  cumbersome heavy-duty gloves. The dexterity is first-class, and  the touchscreen functionality isn't a gimmick—it genuinely works and  speeds up tasks. They feel built to last far longer than a single-use pair.

  • Light Protection Only: Not suitable for tasks involving high heat or sharp blades.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Crate & Apple," a busy farm shop and  café in Hereford, needed to upgrade its team's hand protection. Their staff were getting through boxes of disposable gloves that would often tear, and  they couldn't use the ordering tablets without constantly taking them off, which was unhygienic and  slow.

"These Mapa gloves have been brilliant. They're tough enough for a full day's work, the team can use their tablets without any faff, and  they’re comfortable. We’re using far fewer gloves and  the kitchen runs a lot smoother."

James Carruthers – Café Manager

By switching to the washable Mapa Ultrane 641, the café reduced its glove wastage by over 50% and  saw a noticeable improvement in order-taking speed during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Inspect each glove for any tears or defects before the first use.
  • Ensure you have the correct size for a snug but not tight fit to maximise dexterity.
  • Remember these are for general tasks; do not use them for protection against blades, needles or high temperatures.
  • Wash your hands before and  after use to maintain hygiene standards.

Keeping Them Going

  • These gloves can be washed once at 40°C to clean them and  extend their life. Do not use harsh detergents.
  • Allow gloves to air dry completely before storing them to prevent bad odours.
  • Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the material.
  • Replace the gloves immediately if you notice any rips, peeling of the coating, or if they become permanently soiled.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Protective Gloves

Not sure which gloves fit your needs? Here are a few things to consider to make the right choice.

Match the Glove to the Task

Consider the primary risk. Do you need grip, chemical protection, cut resistance, or just a hygiene barrier? Choose a glove designed specifically for that hazard.

Material Matters

Nitrile (like these) offers great durability and  grip, especially with oils. Latex is flexible but can cause allergies. Vinyl is a good low-cost option for light, low-risk tasks.

Fit is Everything

A glove that's too loose is a safety hazard and  kills dexterity. One that's too tight causes hand fatigue. Always choose a snug, comfortable fit.

Look for Certifications

For kitchens, 'Food Safe' (EC 1935/2004) is non-negotiable. For other tasks, look for relevant EN safety ratings for cut, abrasion, or puncture resistance.

Reusable vs. Disposable

For frequent, ongoing tasks, a durable, washable glove like the Mapa Ultrane 641 is often more cost-effective and  environmentally friendly than single-use disposables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use my smartphone or tablet while wearing these gloves?

A: Yes, absolutely. These gloves are designed with touchscreen-compatible fingertips, allowing you to operate devices without removing them.

Q: Are these gloves fully waterproof?

A: The nitrile coating on the palm and  fingers is liquid-resistant, but the back of the glove is a breathable fabric, so they are not fully waterproof if submerged.

Q: What does 'food safe' mean for these gloves?

A: It means they are certified under European Regulation (EC) 1935/2004, confirming that no harmful substances will transfer from the gloves to the food you are handling.

Q: Are the Mapa Ultrane 641 protective gloves cut-resistant?

A: No, these are designed for dexterity and  general-purpose protection. They do not have a specific cut-resistance rating and  should not be used for tasks involving sharp blades.

Q: How do I know which size to order?

A: These are Size 6 (Small). It's best to choose the size that gives you a snug fit without being restrictive to ensure maximum dexterity.

Q: How many times can I wash them?

A: Mapa recommends washing these gloves once at a maximum of 40°C to maintain their integrity and  performance.

Q: What are they made from?

A: They have a seamless, flexible textile liner with a nitrile foam coating on the palm and  fingers for excellent grip and  durability.

Q: Are these suitable for handling chemicals?

A: They provide protection against incidental contact with some oils and  greases, but are not designed for handling or being submerged in harsh chemicals.

What Customers Are Saying

The Mapa Standard: Protection That Works With You

This user-centric approach means better compliance, fewer minor accidents, and  a more efficient workflow. Over time, this commitment to quality translates into real business value through improved staff well-being and  consistent, reliable performance day in, day out.

How Certified Safety Keeps Your Staff and  Customers Protected

You often see 'Food Safe' or 'Dermatologically Approved' on a product, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of the EC 1935/2004 Food Safe certification as a hygiene rating for your equipment. It's a legal guarantee that no harmful chemicals from the glove's material will leach into the food you're preparing. This protects your customers and  ensures you're fully compliant with UK food safety standards.

Meanwhile, 'Dermatologically Approved' is a promise to your staff. It means the materials have been tested to be non-irritating and  kind to skin, even when worn for hours. Happy, comfortable staff are more productive and  more likely to wear their PPE correctly, which boosts the overall safety and  efficiency of your operation. It’s a small feature with a huge impact on welfare and  compliance.
