Gloves take a dip to get a grip

When hands or components are
slippery, workers can be injured and
equipment and goods can be
damaged. To help prevent such
situations Showa Best Glove’s
research and development has been
focused on creating gloves that ensure
superior grip in slippery situations.

The company now offers options that
provide hand protection and grip in
environments ranging from
automotive manufacturing to
petrochemical.

These newer, more form-fitting
gloves are easier to manipulate than
older technology products like cotton
and leather, resulting in reduced hand
fatigue. They feature specialised
coatings, for example sponge and
foam nitrile, and glove liners of all
types, from nylon to DuPont Kevlar.
Gloves can be flat-dipped for palm
grip; three-quarter dipped for
additional protection; or fully dipped
in dual nitrile technology combining
nitrile with foam nitrile over dip.
