TOUGH JOBS — DRY OR OILY-WET
IDEAL FOR PRECISION HANDLING AND LIGHT TO MEDIUM DUTY JOBS
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.
CRINKLE
MICROSURFACE
FLAT / TEXTURED
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.
Coating surface infused with thousands of tiny suction cup
pockets. When pressed into contact with a wet or slippery
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.

PROTECTIVE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
POLYURETHANE
HIGH DEXTERITY CUT RESISTANT RANGE
LATEX
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.
