Product Overview
The GP Grip 21 Nitrile Micro Foam Glove represents a significant advancement in precision hand protection. Designed specifically for professionals who require a high degree of tactile sensitivity, these gloves offer a reliable barrier against oil and moisture while maintaining the dexterity of a bare hand. By combining a fine-gauge knit with a sophisticated coating, they deliver consistent performance across dry, wet, and oily conditions without compromising on comfort.
Key Features
- 21-Gauge Construction: The exceptionally fine knit provides maximum dexterity, allowing for the effortless manipulation of small components and intricate assembly tasks.
- Nitrile Micro Foam Coating: This specialised coating ensures a secure grip by channeling liquids away from the surface, which is particularly effective when handling oily or damp items.
- Ergonomic Design: Anatomically shaped to mirror the natural resting position of the hand, this design significantly reduces muscle fatigue during prolonged shifts.
- Dermatologically Tested: These gloves are validated as skin-friendly, ensuring they can be worn throughout the day without causing the irritation often associated with industrial gloves.
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Certified: This certification guarantees that the materials are free from harmful substances and allergens, providing peace of mind for those with sensitive skin.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight blend of nylon and latex-free elastane, these gloves offer impressive stretch and recovery. The 21-gauge material is one of the finest available in the industry, providing a level of touch sensitivity that is essential for electronics assembly and precision engineering work. The micro-foam nitrile coating is not only durable but also breathable, allowing heat to dissipate and keeping the wearer's hands cool.
The performance of the nitrile coating is especially noteworthy in challenging environments. It provides a consistent grip when handling lubricated parts, yet remains flexible enough to allow for full range of motion. The ergonomic fit ensures that the glove moves with the hand, preventing the friction and resistance that often lead to hand strain in high-repetition roles.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise the functional integrity of our safety equipment. We do not offer customisation on these gloves because the application of heat-seals or embroidery would compromise the fine 21-gauge structure and the protective nitrile coating. Additionally, adding external materials could introduce irritants to a product that is specifically dermatologically tested for skin safety.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for technicians in the automotive and aerospace sectors, as well as for those working in electronics, small-scale assembly, and light engineering. They are also highly effective for warehouse staff who need to maintain a secure grip on varied surfaces while handling sensitive inventory or operating touch-sensitive equipment.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted provider of high-quality apparel and safety equipment. Based in Telford, we have spent nearly five decades supporting British industry with technical expertise and a commitment to quality. Our selection process ensures that every product we stock meets the rigorous standards required by modern work environments.
Practical Advice
For optimal performance, it is vital to select the correct size to ensure the glove fits snugly against the skin. A loose glove will reduce tactile feedback and can be a snagging hazard. If the gloves become heavily contaminated with oils, we recommend replacing them to ensure the grip remains effective and to maintain hand hygiene.
Caring for your product
To maintain the longevity and skin-friendly properties of these gloves, proper care is essential. Removing surface debris after use helps to prevent the degradation of the nitrile micro foam coating.
We recommend a gentle wash in cool water when required. Using high temperatures or aggressive chemical detergents can cause the nylon and elastane fibres to lose their elasticity, leading to a loose fit that reduces both safety and precision. Avoid the use of bleach, as it will break down the chemical bonds in the nitrile coating, causing it to peel and lose its grip.
Air drying is the only recommended method for this product. Tumble drying introduces excessive heat that can shrink the synthetic materials and warp the ergonomic shape. Never iron these gloves; the heat will melt the nitrile and synthetic fibres instantly, rendering the gloves unusable and potentially damaging your iron.
