Material Construction: Full Nitrile Coating + Knit Wrist Cuff

Every element of these gloves has been purpose-built for maximum performance, protection, and comfort.

1. Full Nitrile Coating – Total Protection Layer

Unlike half-coated or palm-coated gloves, these are fully coated with nitrile, meaning the entire outer surface — including the palm, fingers, and back of the hand — is sealed with a resilient nitrile compound.

Key Benefits of Full Nitrile Coating:

• Complete Oil & Grease Resistance: Prevents oil, grease, and fuel penetration — keeping hands clean and dry.

• Chemical Protection: Resists light to moderate exposure to certain chemicals, solvents, and hydrocarbons.

• Abrasion & Tear Resistance: Durable coating extends glove life and prevents wear during heavy use.

• Superior Grip: Specially textured nitrile enhances grip stability, even when surfaces are wet or oily.

• Waterproof Barrier: Provides total liquid protection, making it ideal for wet or chemical-handling environments.

This full-coverage coating acts as a protective shell, shielding workers from industrial contaminants while maintaining the flexibility needed for manual dexterity.

2. Knit Wrist Cuff – Secure & Dust-Proof Fit

The knit wrist cuff ensures a snug, secure fit that keeps the glove comfortably in place during use.
It also acts as a barrier, preventing dust, dirt, and small debris from entering the glove — a critical feature for mechanics, cleaners, and metalworkers operating in dusty or greasy environments.

Additionally, the cuff’s elastic nature enhances comfort by ensuring smooth transitions at the wrist without restricting circulation.

Performance Features

The Full Nitrile-Coated Gloves are defined by their superior protection, durability, and user comfort — providing a dependable solution for various industrial applications.

✅ 1. Superior Resistance to Oils, Grease, and Chemicals

Nitrile’s chemical structure makes it inherently resistant to hydrocarbons, fuels, lubricants, and mild chemicals, preventing these substances from degrading the glove or contacting the skin.
This makes them ideal for:

• Oil & gas operations

• Automotive maintenance

• Industrial cleaning

• Machinery repair and operation

Even in prolonged contact with fluids, the gloves remain intact, flexible, and non-slip, ensuring the user’s safety and control.

✅ 2. Excellent Abrasion and Tear Strength

With an EN rating of 4 for abrasion and 3 for tear resistance, these gloves can withstand repeated friction, gripping, and handling of rough materials such as metal sheets, pipes, or tools without wearing down quickly.
This durability reduces replacement frequency, leading to better long-term cost efficiency.

✅ 3. Comfortable & Breathable Inner Liner

The interior features a soft, knitted fabric liner that provides cushioning and absorbs perspiration.
Despite being fully coated, the liner maintains breathability, reducing heat buildup during extended use. Workers benefit from all-day comfort without sacrificing protection.

✅ 4. Secure Fit with Knit Cuff

The elastic knit wrist cuff ensures a tight seal, preventing contaminants from entering while maintaining ease of movement.
This feature enhances hygiene in cleaning operations and improves safety during mechanical handling.

✅ 5. Enhanced Grip Performance

The textured nitrile surface ensures an anti-slip grip for handling oily or wet tools, machinery components, or greasy materials — improving control, accuracy, and safety.

✅ 6. Water and Fluid Impermeability

Being fully coated, the gloves act as a complete waterproof barrier, ideal for tasks involving cleaning agents, lubricants, or wet handling environments.

Applications and Industry Uses

Engineered for rugged industrial performance, these gloves serve as a trusted choice across multiple sectors where workers encounter oil, grease, dirt, moisture, and mechanical hazards.

🛢 Oil & Gas Industry

Oil exploration, drilling, and refinery operations expose workers to grease, lubricants, and hydrocarbons daily. These gloves offer the protection and durability necessary for such environments.

Applications Include:

• Equipment maintenance and inspection

• Handling fuel-soaked tools and machinery

• Refinery cleaning and material transfer

• Offshore and onshore operations

Their chemical and oil resistance ensures worker safety and grip stability, even in slick, high-risk conditions.

⚙️ Automotive & Mechanical Workshops

Mechanics and technicians constantly handle oily engine parts, lubricated bolts, and metallic tools.
The nitrile coating provides excellent grip, chemical protection, and abrasion resistance, making these gloves indispensable in automotive maintenance and repair.

Suitable For:

• Engine assembly and servicing

• Transmission and brake repair

• Lubricant and fuel handling

• Tool and machinery cleaning

The gloves’ oil-resistant surface ensures precise handling and reduces the risk of slips or component damage.

🏭 Metal & Machinery Manufacturing

In fabrication shops, machinery plants, and foundries, workers face metal burrs, abrasives, and fluids.
These gloves provide a protective barrier against oil, sharp edges, and mechanical friction.

Applications Include:

• Metal sheet handling and pressing

• Machine operation and maintenance

• Tool and die manufacturing

• Heavy equipment assembly

The combination of abrasion resistance and durable coating ensures safe handling of industrial machinery and materials.

🧼 Industrial Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning operations in industrial plants often involve exposure to detergents, degreasers, solvents, and oils.
The gloves’ chemical resistance and waterproofing make them ideal for cleaning, sanitation, and maintenance crews.

The knit wrist cuff prevents cleaning liquids or debris from entering, ensuring a clean and secure working experience.

Ergonomic Design for Comfort and Precision

Although built for toughness, these gloves don’t compromise on comfort or dexterity.
The inner liner’s ergonomic shape adapts to the natural curve of the hand, ensuring minimal hand fatigue, even during repetitive tasks.

The snug fit, soft texture, and flexible nitrile layer combine to offer a natural grip feel, making these gloves suitable for both heavy-duty handling and fine mechanical tasks.

Durability and Cost Efficiency

The high abrasion resistance and chemical stability of nitrile mean these gloves last significantly longer than standard rubber or PVC-coated alternatives.
They maintain performance over multiple work cycles without cracking, hardening, or losing grip, making them a cost-effective choice for industries that demand consistency and durability.

Maintenance and Storage Guidelines

To ensure optimal glove performance and longevity, proper maintenance is key:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
