Product Overview
The FD Grip 15 Nitrile Glove is a specialised hand protection solution engineered specifically for the precision-heavy demands of the food industry. Combining a lightweight, fine-knit liner with a resilient nitrile coating, these gloves provide a critical barrier against contamination while ensuring the wearer retains the tactile sensitivity required for intricate tasks. Designed in a high-visibility blue—a standard requirement for food safety—these gloves offer both mechanical protection and peace of mind in high-throughput environments.
Key Features
- Food Grade Certification: This ensures the materials are safe for direct contact with food, significantly reducing the risk of contamination in processing and preparation areas.
- Nitrile Palm Dip: The high-quality nitrile coating provides a superior grip on slippery or oily surfaces and offers excellent abrasion resistance, extending the life of the glove during repetitive handling.
- 15 Gauge Nylon Liner: The fine-knit construction creates a breathable, second-skin fit that reduces hand fatigue and allows for maximum dexterity during delicate operations.
- Extra-Strong Film: This design feature enhances the glove's durability, making it suitable for tougher tasks that might compromise standard disposable or lower-quality food gloves.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this glove is the 15-gauge nylon liner. This fine-knit material is exceptionally lightweight, which is essential for workers who need to maintain a high level of touch sensitivity. Unlike heavier gloves that can feel cumbersome, this liner moves with the hand, minimising resistance and heat build-up. The nitrile palm dip is not merely for protection; it provides a textured surface that ensures a secure hold on tools and food products, even when moisture is present. This combination of a breathable back and a durable palm makes it a high-performance choice for long shifts where comfort and safety are equally weighted.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on the FD Grip 15 Nitrile Glove. As this is a technical PPE item specifically certified for food grade environments, any alteration to the material could compromise its safety certification or introduce contamination risks. Furthermore, these are considered high-turnover safety items where maintaining the structural and hygienic integrity of the nitrile coating is the absolute priority.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for professionals working in food processing plants, commercial kitchens, and catering environments. They are particularly effective for tasks involving the handling of raw ingredients where grip is essential, as well as packaging lines where dexterity and protection against minor abrasions are required. Their blue colour makes them easily detectable should a piece of the material accidentally enter the production line.
Why MyWorkwear

Our long-standing heritage ensures we only supply products that meet the rigorous standards our customers expect.
Practical Advice
To ensure maximum dexterity, we recommend selecting a size that fits snugly against the skin without restricting circulation. A well-fitted glove prevents the material from bunching at the fingertips, which is vital for safe and efficient food handling. If your role involves high levels of moisture, ensure the nitrile coating remains intact to provide the best possible grip.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your hand protection is essential for both safety and hygiene. While these gloves are designed for durability, they should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, such as thinning of the nitrile coating or small tears in the nylon liner. Using damaged gloves can compromise the food safety barrier and leave the wearer at risk of abrasions.
To keep the gloves hygienic, they should be replaced frequently in accordance with your site's food safety protocols. Should you need to clean them, use a mild detergent and avoid high temperatures or harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the nitrile film and weaken the nylon fibres, leading to premature failure of the product.
