What Are Grip Work Gloves?
Grip work gloves are gloves designed with a non-slip rubber surface on the palm side, enhancing the ability to grip and handle objects securely.
The back of these gloves features a mesh of nylon or polyester fibers, allowing efficient airflow. This design ensures breathability, preventing discomfort even during extended use. The gloves remain comfortable without swelling, even after prolonged periods of work. The palm side is coated with materials such as natural rubber, polyurethane, nitrile, or vinyl chloride.
Uses of Grip Work Gloves
Grip work gloves find application in a wide range of fields, including civil engineering, construction, transportation, agriculture, gardening, machine maintenance, automotive, metal parts processing, assembly painting, precision assembly, inspection, packing, and warehouse work. These gloves excel where a secure grip is essential for extended periods.
Examples of usage scenarios include:
- Indoor construction work
- Gardening, DIY projects, load carrying, and more
- Handling heavy loads like lumber
- Tasks involving oils, such as machine parts assembly
- Wood deck assembly and disassembly, tree pruning, cleaning, weed removal, and more
- Bicycle and motorcycle maintenance
- Forestry work
- Firewood loading
- Metal rasping and drilling
- Scaffolding assembly and disassembly during painting
Features of Grip Work Gloves
Grip work gloves come with various coatings, including natural rubber, nitrile, vinyl chloride, and polyurethane, chosen based on the intended use.
Nylon gloves coated with natural rubber on the palm side offer softness, even in low temperatures. They are thin, well-fitting, and ideal for detailed work. While they provide durability and a strong grip, their resistance to oil and solvents is limited.
Nitrile-coated gloves excel in oil and abrasion resistance. They resist oil, punctures, and abrasions, have a thin profile, and offer excellent grip. They are suitable for detailed work and tasks involving oils, although they may harden in low temperatures.
PVC-coated gloves are resistant to oil and detergents, highly abrasion-resistant, durable, and provide a comfortable fit. They are cost-effective and have a low odor but are sensitive to heat.
Polyurethane-coated gloves exhibit excellent resistance to oil, acid, and alkali. They are thin, well-fitting, and suitable for detailed work. Polyurethane-coated gloves with polyester fibers on the back of the hand are dust-resistant, making them ideal for clean work, such as precision machine assembly. They are also suitable for clean work like the assembly of precision machinery.
