Product Overview
The Grip 15 Foam Nitrile Bamboo Glove represents a significant advancement in hand protection, combining the sustainable strength of bamboo with technical synthetic fibres. Featuring a fine 15-gauge liner, these gloves are designed for professionals who require a delicate balance between tactile sensitivity and robust palm protection. The inclusion of bamboo viscose provides a naturally soft feel against the skin, making these an ideal choice for extended periods of wear in demanding environments.
Key Features
- 15-Gauge Technical Liner: The fine-knit construction provides exceptional dexterity, allowing you to handle small components and tools with precision without the bulk of traditional work gloves.
- Bamboo Viscose Blend: Naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial, this material helps maintain hand hygiene and reduces irritation for those with sensitive skin.
- Foam Nitrile Palm Coating: The specialised foam texture acts like a sponge to disperse liquids, ensuring a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions.
- UV Light Resistance: The bamboo fibres offer inherent protection against UV rays, extending the life of the glove when used in outdoor applications.
- Breathable Construction: The open structure of the liner and the porous nature of the nitrile foam allow heat to escape, keeping hands cool during intensive tasks.
Design & Performance
The performance of this glove is rooted in its material composition. By blending bamboo with nylon, the liner achieves a lightweight feel that does not sacrifice durability. Bamboo is a highly breathable material that excels at moisture management, wicking sweat away from the skin far more effectively than standard cotton or pure synthetic liners. This is complemented by the 15-gauge knit, which provides a 'second-skin' fit to minimise hand fatigue.
The palm is coated in a soft nitrile foam. Unlike flat nitrile, the foam variant remains flexible even in cooler temperatures and provides a cushioned barrier against abrasion. This coating is specifically engineered to provide high levels of friction on smooth surfaces, even when oily or damp, making it a reliable choice for technical assembly and general handling.
Why No Customisation?
This product is classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is designed to meet specific safety requirements for hand protection. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on these gloves to ensure the structural integrity of the 15-gauge liner and the effectiveness of the nitrile coating remain uncompromised. Altering the fabric could potentially affect the glove's safety rating and its ability to protect the wearer.
Use Cases
These gloves are exceptionally versatile, making them suitable for various sectors including light engineering, automotive assembly, and general maintenance. They are particularly effective for tradespeople working in damp environments or those who handle materials requiring a high degree of hygiene, such as pharmaceutical logistics or clean-room maintenance, thanks to the anti-bacterial properties of the bamboo.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent nearly half a century sourcing and supplying the highest quality protective gear from our base in Telford. Our expertise ensures that we only stock products that meet the rigorous demands of the modern British workforce. We understand that the right pair of gloves is not just a safety requirement, but a tool that helps you do your job more effectively.
Practical Advice
To ensure maximum dexterity, it is essential to select the correct size. A glove that is too large will cause the nitrile coating to bunch, reducing your grip, while a glove that is too tight may overstretch the bamboo fibres and reduce the product's lifespan. When working in very oily environments, ensure the nitrile foam is kept clean to maintain its 'suction' effect on surfaces.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance of your bamboo gloves is essential to preserve the natural anti-bacterial properties and the integrity of the nitrile grip.
When cleaning is necessary, avoid high temperatures. Excessive heat can cause the nitrile foam coating to harden or delaminate from the bamboo liner, rendering the glove less flexible and reducing its protective capabilities.
The use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents should be strictly avoided. These substances can break down the natural bamboo fibres and compromise the elasticated cuff, leading to a loose fit and reduced safety. We recommend air drying away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
