Product Overview
The Grip 13 Latex Foam Essential Multipack provides a high-performance solution for professionals who require dependable hand protection in environments where moisture and grip are constant challenges. This multipack contains 12 pairs of gloves, each engineered with advanced double-coating technology. By combining a fully coated smooth latex base with a secondary latex foam palm dip, these gloves offer an exceptional barrier against liquids without sacrificing the tactile sensitivity needed for precise manual tasks. As a streamlined version of the industry-standard AP80, this essential model focuses on delivering high-tier performance with a more economical footprint, making it a sensible choice for high-volume work environments.
Key Features
- Double Latex Coating: The dual-layer application provides comprehensive liquid protection, ensuring hands stay dry while the outer foam layer offers superior suction-like grip on slippery surfaces.
- Elasticated Wrist: The integrated elastic ensures a secure and comfortable fit, preventing dust and debris from entering the glove during intensive labour.
- Economical 12-Pack: Supplied in a multipack to provide maximum value for businesses, ensuring a fresh pair of gloves is always available for the team.
- Streamlined Design: Features single-colour branding and reduced packaging, focusing entirely on the technical functionality required for the job at hand.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a lightweight polyester liner, these gloves are designed to be worn for extended shifts without causing significant hand fatigue. The polyester base is flexible and breathable, allowing for natural movement. The performance is defined by the two-stage dipping process: the first layer of smooth latex seals the glove against liquid penetration, while the second foam latex layer is aerated to create a textured surface that excels in wet conditions. This substantial coating ensures the gloves remain sturdy and durable even when handling abrasive materials.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these gloves because they are specialised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) intended for high-frequency use. The latex coating is specifically engineered to provide a waterproof and high-grip barrier; any attempt to apply heat-press branding or embroidery would pierce this protective layer, rendering the liquid-repellent properties ineffective and potentially compromising the safety standards of the product.
Use Cases
These gloves are an essential asset for tradespeople working in construction, landscaping, and logistics. They are particularly effective for those handling wet pipes, damp building materials, or performing outdoor maintenance where a secure grip is a safety requirement. The multipack format makes them ideal for site managers looking to equip a full crew with reliable, uniform hand protection.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. From our base in Telford, we have spent decades refining our knowledge of technical garments and safety equipment. We understand that in demanding trades, the small details—like the quality of a latex dip—make the difference between a job well done and a safety hazard. When you choose MyWorkwear, you are choosing nearly half a century of expertise and a commitment to quality that only a long-standing British specialist can provide.
Practical Advice
To ensure the best possible grip and protection, we recommend selecting a size that fits snugly against the skin. A loose glove can reduce your tactile feedback and may cause the material to bunch, which can be a snagging hazard. If you are working in particularly cold conditions, these gloves can be paired with a thin thermal liner, though the double latex coating already provides a good level of wind resistance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the latex coating and ensure the gloves remain flexible, it is vital to store them correctly. When not in use, keep the gloves in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can cause the natural latex to perish and become brittle over time, which will lead to cracking and a loss of grip performance.
If the gloves become heavily soiled, we recommend a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth rather than a machine wash. Subjecting the latex to the high heat and chemical detergents of a domestic washing machine can degrade the bond between the coating and the polyester liner, causing the layers to delaminate.
Avoid placing the gloves on direct heat sources, such as radiators, to dry. Excessive heat can cause the elasticated wrist to lose its tension and the latex to melt or harden, significantly reducing the lifespan of the product. Proper care ensures that each pair in the multipack provides the maximum possible service life on the job.
