RUBBER COATED GLOVES

Rubber coated work gloves can offer added protection and enhance the grip. Rubber coated gloves will protect against a range of hazards including chemicals and sharp objects.  We offer gloves coated with nitrile, PVC and latex. Insulated styles for protection from heat and/or cold are also available.  Choose the right rubber coated work glove that fits your application today.

Hazard Assessment for Choosing the Right Glove
Attention to job hazards should be focused on potential local skin effects and potential absorption though the skin and resultant systemic effects when decided which pair of rubber coated work gloves are right for you.  Also take under consideration the length of exposure to chemicals you will be subjected to.  If you are completely immersed in chemicals, a thick nitrile glove is good to wear.  Other hazard assessment when choosing a rubber coated glove is cuts or abrasions. 

Choosing the Right Rubber Coated Work Glove
Thickness/Length - The thicker gauge the glove is, the more chemical resistant and cut/abrasion resistant the glove is.  When working around sharp hazards, it is important that you have a thick guage glove on.  Thinner gloves offer better touch, sensitivity and flexibility, while sacrificing chemical resistance.  When you double the thickness of a glove you quadruple the chemical resistance level.  When measuring a glove thickness remember, a 10-gauge glove equals 0.010 inches. 

Finishes and Linings - Rubber coated work gloves that come with a textured finish offer better grip for the users.  Standard rubber gloves can get slippery in certain circumstances.  Most rubber gloves come with a cotton liner on the inside, adding absorption to perspiration and temperature protection. 

Nitrile Coated Rubber Gloves
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber material that offers abrasion and chemical resistance.  It also protects from oils, grease, petroleum products and some acids and caustics.

Our rubber coated work gloves are not only good for chemical handling, but also for those in industrial professions working with paint or varnish, handling rough casting or metal treatment.
