Industrial Gloves

What is the difference between PU coated gloves and Nitrile coated gloves?

The main difference depends on your "Work Environment":

  • PU (Polyurethane) Coated Gloves: Best for "Dry Work." They provide a snug fit, excellent dexterity for handling small parts, and great breathability (e.g., electronic assembly, precision packing).
  • Nitrile Coated Gloves: Best for "Wet or Oily Work." They offer superior resistance to oil, grease, and chemicals, and are more durable against punctures and tearing (e.g., automotive repair, petrochemical industries).
Why are Level 5 cut-resistant gloves necessary?

They are essential when handling sharp objects directly! Level 5 cut-resistant gloves (based on the classic EN388 standard) are crafted from advanced fibers such as Dyneema or HPPE. They are specifically designed for tasks like handling glass, cutting steel, or working with metal sheets, effectively minimizing the risk of severe cuts and injuries in the workplace.

Nitrile gloves vs. Latex gloves: What is the main difference?

The main differences are:

  • Nitrile Gloves: Made from synthetic rubber. They are puncture-resistant, chemical-resistant, and latex-free, making them safe for people with latex allergies.
  • Latex Gloves: Made from natural rubber. They offer better elasticity and comfort for long-term wear but are not suitable for people with latex allergies.

For industrial work involving chemicals or sharp objects, Nitrile is generally the safer and more durable choice.

Full palm coating vs. fingertip coating: Which one should I choose?

Choose based on your specific gripping needs:

  • Full Palm Coating: Provides excellent grip and slip resistance. Ideal for handling heavy items or large components.
  • Fingertip Coating: Focuses on maximum breathability and finger dexterity. Ideal for precision tasks like handling small screws, nuts, or intricate parts.
Can green nitrile gloves handle strong acids?

Green nitrile gloves (especially 18 mil heavy-duty models) offer excellent chemical, acid, and alkali resistance. However, for extremely concentrated acids, we highly recommend checking the specific Chemical Resistance Chart for that model or changing your gloves frequently to ensure maximum operator safety.

What do the RoHS and REACH standards mean for industrial gloves?

These are European environmental and safety standards. They guarantee that the gloves are "Free from hazardous restricted chemicals" (such as lead, mercury, and cadmium). This ensures they are safe for the wearer, non-irritating to the skin, and environmentally friendlystandards that are strictly required by leading industrial factories.

Are cut-resistant gloves washable?

Yes, they are! Gloves made from HPPE or Dyneema fibers can be washed with mild soap or gentle laundry detergent. Always air-dry them in the shade to maintain their integrity for reuse, which helps significantly reduce operational costs.

Caution: Never use bleach, as it will degrade the cut-resistant fibers.

Why are black PU gloves popular for automotive work?

Because the "Black" color best conceals stains, oil residues, and grease. This keeps the gloves looking clean and professional for longer, compared to white or light-colored gloves that show dirt and grime immediately upon use.

How do I know what glove size to choose?

The simplest way is to measure the width of your palm (excluding the thumb) and compare it as follows:

  • 7-8 cm = Size S
  • 8-9 cm = Size M
  • 9-10 cm = Size L
  • 10+ cm = Size XL

Note: Always choose the right fitnot too loose to slip off, and not too tight to restrict blood circulationto ensure maximum safety and comfort.

What are the best applications for PVC gloves?

PVC gloves (especially those with a lining) are 100% waterproof and oil-resistant. They are perfectly suited for fishing, cold storage, agriculture, or cleaning tasks that involve constant contact with water or diluted chemicals. They are also easy to maintain, simple to wash, and highly cost-effective.
