GLOVES
Leather work gloves are capable of tolerating some of your most rigorous
jobs. Leather helps protect workers’ hands from exposures to cold, heat,
abrasion, sharp edges, cuts and punctures. It also offers a tolerance to
extreme weather conditions. These characteristics make leather an ideal
choice for work gloves.
Choosing the right leather glove for the task is ultimately the best way to
get the most out of the leather glove you choose. If the worker’s hand
protection requires working with rough materials such as wood or metal,
then choosing a thin-skinned leather glove may not be the best choice for
protection from abrasion and cuts. If the task requires dexterity and tactility,
then choosing a glove that is made from thick and bulky hide material
may not allow a worker the sensitivity and flexibility he/she may need to
perform his/her job.

PVC
GLOVES
ABRASION
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer of vinyl chloride. PVC
offers good abrasion resistance, but may be susceptible to punctures, cuts
and snags. While it is flexible, it does not provide the tactile sensitivity
associated with most rubber products.
CUT

PUNCTURE
PVC starts to soften at approximately 82˚C. PVC is effective against water
and most aqueous solutions, detergents, and diluted bases and acids. It
only has limited chemical resistance to organic solvents. PVC is one of
the more common coatings for coated work gloves.

PVC Coated Gloves serve many industrial purposes.They are used extensively
in the construction industry, oil refineries, oil exploration, and oil drilling.
They are also used extensively in the mining industry, and in chemical
manufacturing. However, they are just as suitable for home use.

Do you ever feel the need of high quality protective gloves while working
in difficult conditions? The best choice for your problem is polyurethane
coated gloves, ideal for demanding, risky and tedious jobs. Whether you
are looking for a comfortable grip, ease of use, neat design or snug fit,
polyurethane gloves are fit for any use.
Polyurethane coated gloves are machine knitted with seamless polyester
bindings. Superior abrasion and grip is provided by special textured
polyurethane on the inside of the palm. Also, polyurethane coated gloves
are easy to clean and maintain, thus extending their life span. Simply wash
any debris or oils with water based cleaning solutions or soap and your
gloves will be in perfect condition.

NITRILE
GLOVES
Nitrile rubber is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It offers
excellent physical-hazard resistance to punctures, cuts, snags and abrasion,
almost 3 times more compared to natural rubber. Nitrile rubber has
considerable resistance to oils, fuels, and certain organic solvents, thus
making it is a good choice for handling small oily parts or metal stamping.

NATURAL RUBBER
GLOVES
Natural rubber dispersed in water is known as latex. Natural rubber has
a very high elasticity compared to other glove materials, excellent cut
and tear resistance, and outstanding grip and temperature resistance.
It withstands water, alcohols, and some ketones, but has poor chemical
resistance against most hydrocarbon and organic solvents. It can cause
allergic reactions in some people.
