Proprietary coating only available on G-Tek® brand gloves. NeoFoam® is a highly
flexible coating that provides wearers with a high degree of grip, hand dexterity and
comfort. NeoFoam® is versatile, hardworking, resistant to light oils and touchscreen
compatible with most devices, making G-Tek® NeoFoam® coated gloves the optimal
choice for numerous handling applications.
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber compound that offers excellent puncture,
tear and abrasion resistance. Nitrile is also known for its resistance to
hydrocarbon-based oils or solvents. Nitrile coated gloves are the first
choice for industrial jobs which require handling of oily parts. Nitrile is
durable and helps to maximize protection.
Latex is a natural rubber that is flexible, tough and durable, delivering a high
degree of resistance to snagging, puncture and abrasion. Latex is waterresistant as well as resistant to protein-based oils. Latex is not recommended
for jobs that involve contact with hydrocarbon-based oils or solvents.
Polyurethane (PU) is a tough, proven material that offers good tactile sensitivity
by way of its thin material deposit. It conforms intimately over multiple glove
liners to provide flexibility, dexterity and tactile sensitivity. PU coated gloves
are amongst the most commonly used because they are versatile and provide
excellent value. Newer, water-based PU coatings offer improved flexibility and
less environmental lifecycle impact.

Coating surface infused with thousands of tiny suction
cup pockets. When pressed into contact with a wet or oily
surface, they create a vacuum effect that disperses fluids
away – significantly improving grip.
Foam coating cell structure is designed to channel
fluids away from the surface of the object generating
grip in oily conditions. Oily grip effectiveness varies with
density of cells.

surface, they create a vacuum effect that disperses fluids
away – significantly improving grip.
Flat/Textured PU takes on the surface properties of the glove liner which results in the thin, conformable deposit of coating
material. The flat, textured nature of this coating is unique to Polyurethane (PU) coated gloves.
> Secure grip in dry conditions
> Fair grip in slightly oil or wet conditions
Flat/Smooth coatings provide
the wearer with a secure dry
grip. Liquids will not absorb into
the coating, keeping hands dry
and clean.
Crinkle coatings have creases or wrinkles on the surface of
the coating that are designed to channel fluids away and
allow better contact on dry or wet surfaces.
> Good grip in dry, wet, or oily conditions

> Tactile grip in dry and in slightly oily conditions
> Good grip in dry and wet or oily-wet surfaces.
> S ecure, tacky grip for

BASICS
RESISTIVE TOUCHSCREENS, found on most industrial controls, rely on pressure and are unaffected by the use of gloves. CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREENS, typically used with tablets, smartphones and laptops rely on the electrical field effect from our finger. PIP ® trials have found that many of our coated
seamless knit gloves with thinner black coatings will work with today’s latest mobile devices. However, we recommend trials prior to equipping teams with gloves. For guaranteed bare finger precision and sensitivity on any device, we provide the PU coated G-Tek ® 33-GT125,
featuring conductive fingertip touch technology.
