The main difference depends on your "Work Environment":
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.
The main differences are:
For industrial work involving chemicals or sharp objects, Nitrile is generally the safer and more durable choice.
Choose based on your specific gripping needs:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The simplest way is to measure the width of your palm (excluding the thumb) and compare it as follows:
Note: Always choose the right fitnot too loose to slip off, and not too tight to restrict blood circulationto ensure maximum safety and comfort.
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.
