Lightweight Grip and Dexterity for Precision Assembly
Cordova 6898C white PU palm-coated gloves combine a 13-gauge polyester shell with a lightweight polyurethane palm coating for tactile handling and dry grip. Sold by the dozen, they are designed for precision assembly, wiring, appliance manufacturing, painting, and other light-duty tasks involving small parts.
Cordova publishes an ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A1 and CE/EN 388 rating of 4131 for this model. These are light mechanical-protection gloves; they are not a substitute for chemical-resistant, electrically insulating, heat-resistant, or higher-cut hand protection.

Understanding the Ratings
ANSI A1 is the lowest cut-resistance level in the current ANSI scale and is intended for light cut hazards. In the published EN 388: 4131 result, the digits report abrasion, blade-cut, tear, and puncture test performance under that standard's rating method. Ratings help compare tested mechanical performance, but the employer's task-specific hazard assessment determines whether a glove is suitable.
Size and Ordering
Cordova manufactures model 6898C in XS through 2X-Large. Select from the sizes currently offered on this page. Each size has its own manufacturer part number and barcode, so size-level MPN and GTIN data should match the exact variant ordered.
OSHA Hand Protection and NIOSH Guidance
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 — Hand Protection requires employers to select appropriate hand protection for identified hazards. Selection must consider glove performance, the task, workplace conditions, and duration of use. Match this light-duty assembly glove to the assessed mechanical hazards.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(d) — Hazard Assessment and PPE Selection requires a workplace hazard assessment and PPE that properly fits each affected employee.
NIOSH guidance on personal protective equipment recommends a PPE program covering selection, use, inspection, replacement, and training. PPE should support other effective hazard controls. This is general guidance, not a NIOSH certification of Cordova 6898C gloves.

Cordova 6898C PU Palm Glove FAQ
How many pairs are included?
The ASA listing and Cordova specification identify the sale unit as one dozen, or 12 pairs.
What is the cut rating of the Cordova 6898C glove?
Cordova publishes an ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A1 for model 6898C. A1 is intended for light cut hazards and should not be treated as high-cut protection.
What does EN 388: 4131 mean?
The published 4131 result reports abrasion, blade-cut, tear, and puncture performance under the EN 388 mechanical test sequence. It does not establish chemical, electrical, or heat protection.
Are these gloves chemical resistant?
No chemical-resistance rating is published for model 6898C. Use a glove selected and tested for the specific chemical, concentration, exposure time, and task when chemical protection is required.
Do these gloves contain latex?
Cordova describes the polyurethane coating as free of latex proteins and chemical accelerators. This should not be presented as a medical guarantee that no wearer can experience irritation or sensitivity.
What tasks are these gloves designed for?
Cordova lists aerospace, appliance manufacturing, sensitive assembly, wiring, and painting among the applications. The lightweight palm coating also supports general small-parts handling where dry grip and dexterity are important.
What sizes does Cordova manufacture?
Cordova manufactures model 6898C in XS, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and 2X-Large. Store availability may vary, so choose from the size options currently displayed.
When should the gloves be replaced?
Replace them when the knit shell is torn, the palm coating is cracked or worn through, contamination cannot be removed safely, or the fit no longer supports controlled handling.
