When and Why Should I Wear Palm-Coated Gloves?
2023-05-17T03:33:17.600ZWhat are Palm Coated Gloves?
Palm coated gloves refer to a type of safety glove that has a coating applied to the palm area. This coating can be made from various materials such as latex, nitrile, polyurethane, or PVC. The purpose of the coating is to provide additional protection, grip, and durability to the glove.
Different Types of Palm Gloves Coating
Nitrile Gloves:
Nitrile, a synthetic rubber, offers superior resistance to chemicals and oils. Nitrile-coated gloves are puncture and abrasion-resistant with slip-resistant properties, making them suitable for industries with these hazards.
In Asiong’s Industrial Products, we offer Disposable Nitrile Gloves, such as the Safetyware Nex Gloves, and Reusable Nitrile Gloves, such as the Rubberex RNF-15 Super Nitrile Gloves.
Polyethylene Gloves
Polyethylene, a versatile coating material, is commonly known as plastic. Yet, when used as a coating for gloves such as High Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) gloves, it garners a tensile strength 15 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. These gloves can be used in construction, automotive, and electronics industries. It provides excellent dexterity, grip, and resistance to cuts and oils and solvents.
PVC Gloves:
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a durable and flexible material often used in gloves for the chemical and oil industries. It offers excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and acids.
Foam Nitrile Gloves:
Foam nitrile coatings provide excellent grip, flexibility, and dexterity while offering cushioning and shock absorption. These gloves are ideal for industries such as construction, manufacturing, and assembly.
Benefits of Palm Coated Safety Gloves
Palm coated safety gloves with their protective coating offer several advantages, including:
- Improved grip: The palm coating enhances the grip on tools, materials, and objects, particularly important in industries handling slippery or oily substances.
- Protection: Palm coated gloves provide protection against cuts, punctures, and abrasions, reducing the risk of injuries in the workplace.
- Durability: The coating improves the durability of the gloves, leading to increased longevity and reduced replacement costs.
- Comfort: Palm coated safety gloves are often more comfortable to wear due to the cushioning effect provided by the coating, reducing hand fatigue and increasing comfort.
- Construction: Ideal for handling heavy materials, power tools, and sharp objects in the construction industry.
- Manufacturing: Suitable for workers dealing with machinery, parts, and chemicals in the manufacturing industry.
- Agriculture: Used for handling chemicals, plants, soil, and equipment in the agriculture industry.
- Warehousing and logistics: Employed in the handling of boxes, pallets, and materials in warehousing and logistics operations.
