When Grip is the Concern, Try These Latex-Free Disposable Grippy Gloves

There are many chemicals present in the industrial markets that have the risk of serious side effects if workers are not properly protected. To protect workers and their families from these health concerns, safety managers and shop owners need to purchase the proper hand protection for their employees.
NITRILE ADVANTAGES
Because latex is an organic material and therefore can be broken down by solvents and other shop chemicals, they are a poor choice. The best disposable glove material for industrial applications is nitrile. Nitrile holds up best (or has the best breakthrough or permeation times) against dangerous chemicals in petroleum-based products, brake cleaner, auto paints, fuels, oils, and solvents.
Nitrile gloves provide mechanics the comfort and tactility they are looking for in a good pair of disposable gloves. The nitrile material actually warms up and conforms to the hand the longer workers wear the gloves while textured glove surfaces give workers a bit of added comfort and extra grip when working with wet tools, small parts or instruments. Oil, grease, hydraulic fluids, detergents, soaps and water often coat the surface of the glove and tool and this is a hazard could result in a personal hand injury or product damage.
Many glove factories have introduced innovations in textured glove surfaces in an attempt to aid operators who work in wet or slippery work conditions. Workers at greater risk of slippage include those who work in:
- Automotive Service and Repair
- Electroplating
- HVAC
- Paint Spraying
- Food, Fish, Meat, Poultry, Fruit & Vegetable Processing
- Dairy Production
- Small Engine Repair
- Housekeeping/Janitorial
