Product Overview
The GP Grip 18 PU Glove is a technically advanced solution for professionals who require exceptional dexterity without sacrificing skin safety. Constructed with an 18-gauge liner, these gloves provide a lightweight, second-skin feel that allows for the highest level of precision when handling small components. Unlike standard safety gloves, these are dermatologically tested and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified, ensuring they are entirely free from harmful substances and safe for extended contact with the skin.
Key Features
- 18-Gauge Liner: The ultra-fine knit provides maximum tactile sensitivity, which is essential for intricate assembly work and precision handling.
- Dermatologically Tested: This certification confirms the gloves are skin-friendly, significantly reducing the risk of irritation during long shifts.
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100: This independent certification ensures the materials are free from harmful chemicals, providing peace of mind for those with sensitive skin.
- Ergonomic Design: Specifically shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand, this design helps to minimize hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.
- Multi-Condition Grip: Engineered to maintain a secure hold in dry, wet, or oily conditions, ensuring safety and efficiency across various environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of these gloves is rooted in their material composition, utilizing a blend of nylon and latex-free elastane. This combination results in a highly flexible glove that stretches and recovers with the hand's movements. The polyurethane (PU) palm coating is specifically chosen for its ability to provide a secure grip without adding significant bulk, allowing the wearer to maintain a high degree of touch sensitivity.
Despite their lightweight feel, these gloves are designed for durability in demanding professional settings. The 18-gauge construction is robust enough to handle daily wear while remaining breathable, ensuring comfort even when the pace of work increases.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the GP Grip 18 PU Glove because it is a precision piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Applying embroidery or heat-sealed transfers would compromise the integrity of the fine 18-gauge knit and could potentially create points of irritation on the inside of the glove. To ensure the safety certifications and the ergonomic performance of the product remain intact, we supply these gloves in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for professionals working in electronics assembly, precision engineering, and light manufacturing. They are equally effective for automotive tasks or warehouse roles where handling small fixings or oily parts is a daily requirement. If your role demands the protection of a glove but the dexterity of bare hands, this is the appropriate selection.

Practical Advice
To achieve the best results with these gloves, it is important to select the correct size. A glove that is too large will lose its precision handling benefits, while one that is too small may cause unnecessary strain. We recommend ensuring a snug fit at the fingertips to fully utilize the 18-gauge sensitivity.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your gloves is essential for ensuring long-term protection and grip. We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged exposure to UV rays can degrade the polyurethane coating over time.
Regularly inspect your gloves for signs of wear, such as thinning of the palm coating or tears in the knit. Replacing gloves at the first sign of damage ensures that your hands remain fully protected and that your grip levels remain consistent throughout your working day.
