Product Overview
The Grip 13 PU Latex Free Glove is an expertly engineered solution for professionals who require precise hand protection without the risk of skin irritation. Recognising that latex sensitivities are a significant concern in the modern workplace, these gloves are constructed using a latex-free elastic liner. This ensures that every member of your team can work comfortably and safely. Sold in a substantial carton of 144 pairs, this product provides a high-quality, cost-effective hand protection strategy for businesses focused on general handling and assembly operations.
Key Features
Latex-Free Composition: Specifically formulated to be safe for those with latex allergies or sensitive skin, preventing the discomfort and downtime associated with dermatological reactions.
Polyurethane (PU) Palm Coating: This specialised coating offers an excellent balance between abrasion resistance and tactile sensitivity, allowing the wearer to handle small components with confidence.
13-Gauge Lightweight Liner: The fine-knit polyester structure provides a close, ergonomic fit that moves with the hand, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long periods of use.
Open Back Design: By leaving the back of the hand uncoated, the glove facilitates superior breathability, keeping hands cool and dry even in busy warehouse or factory environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of these gloves is rooted in their lightweight construction and high-gauge knit. The 13-gauge polyester liner is exceptionally thin yet durable, acting as a second skin that does not hinder natural movement. The PU palm coating is applied with precision to ensure that grip is maximised in dry conditions, which is critical for tasks such as electronics assembly or small-part picking. Because the materials are chosen for their resilience, these gloves maintain their shape and protective properties throughout the working day, providing consistent performance that you can rely on.
Why No Customisation?
As a specialist item of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), these gloves are not suitable for customisation. Applying embroidery or heat-applied logos would compromise the integrity of the 13-gauge liner and could create internal friction points that lead to skin irritation. Furthermore, the polyurethane coating is designed for specific grip characteristics that would be impaired by the addition of external branding materials. We supply these in their original state to ensure they meet the intended safety and performance standards for your workforce.
Use Cases
These gloves are the preferred choice for electronic assembly, precision engineering, and warehouse environments where handling small, delicate items is a daily requirement. They are particularly valuable for organisations that prioritise health and safety compliance for staff with known latex allergies. Whether you are managing a large-scale distribution centre or a specialized cleanroom assembly line, these gloves provide the necessary protection and dexterity.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent nearly five decades supporting British industry from our base in Telford. We understand that even the smallest items, like a pair of handling gloves, are vital to the smooth running of your business. Our expertise ensures that we only stock products that meet our high standards for durability and professional performance, helping you protect your most valuable asset: your people.
Practical Advice
To ensure maximum dexterity, it is essential to select the correct size; a glove that is too large will lead to fumbling, while one that is too small will cause hand strain and may wear out prematurely. When distributing these to your team, we recommend reminding staff to inspect the PU coating regularly for signs of wear to ensure that grip levels remain optimal for the tasks at hand.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your protective gloves is essential for workplace safety. These gloves should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Exposure to UV rays and excessive heat can cause the latex-free elastic to lose its tension, which will result in a poor fit and reduced precision during work.
While these are high-turnover items, keeping them clean from oils and heavy debris when not in use will help prevent the polyurethane coating from degrading. Should they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using industrial cleaning chemicals on the gloves, as these can break down the polyester fibres and the protective coating, potentially rendering the glove ineffective for its intended use.
