Product Overview
The Grip 15 Nitrile Sandy Aqua Glove is engineered for professionals who require both dexterity and reliable protection against moisture and heavy oils. In many industrial environments, a standard glove would quickly become saturated, leading to discomfort and a loss of grip. This glove addresses that specific challenge using innovative technology that causes liquids and oils to bead and roll off the surface, ensuring the wearer's hands remain dry and protected throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Innovative Liquid Repellency: The fabric treatment ensures that water and heavy oils are repelled instantly, preventing the glove from becoming heavy or compromised by saturation.
- Super Lightweight Nitrile Dipped Palm: The palm coating provides a robust barrier and enhanced grip without adding unnecessary bulk, allowing for fine motor control during intricate tasks.
- Elastane Liner: This flexible liner conforms to the natural shape of the hand, providing superior comfort and reducing hand fatigue during extended periods of use.
- Sandy Texture Grip: The specific 'sandy' finish on the nitrile coating increases surface area contact, providing a secure hold even when handling slippery or oily components.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of nylon, elastic, and elastane, these gloves offer a balanced combination of durability and stretch. The lightweight nature of the materials ensures that the user does not lose the 'feel' of the tools or materials they are handling, which is often a drawback of heavier protective gloves. The grey and black colour scheme is practical for industrial settings, effectively masking the appearance of dirt and grime between uses.
Performance-wise, the standout feature is the way the glove manages liquids. By preventing the underlying surface from absorbing oils, the glove maintains its structural integrity longer than standard alternatives. This makes it a reliable choice for environments where precision and cleanliness are paramount.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed specifically for hand protection and liquid resistance, we do not offer customisation on this item. Adding embroidery or heat-sealed transfers could compromise the liquid-repellent barrier and the structural integrity of the elastane liner. To ensure these gloves perform exactly as intended by the manufacturer, they are supplied in their original, unembroided state.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for automotive mechanics, plumbers, and maintenance engineers who frequently encounter oils, coolants, or water. They are also excellent for assembly line work where a high level of grip is required alongside protection from industrial lubricants.

Practical Advice
To get the best performance from these gloves, ensure you select the correct size for a snug fit. A glove that is too loose will reduce the effectiveness of the sandy grip and may cause the elastane liner to bunch, leading to discomfort. If you are working in particularly cold environments, the lightweight nature of these gloves allows them to be worn as a base layer under larger, insulated gauntlets if necessary.
Caring for your product
To maintain the innovative liquid-repellent properties of the nitrile coating, it is important to clean these gloves correctly. We recommend a gentle manual wash in cool water. Using hot water can cause the elastane and elastic components to degrade, which will eventually lead to the glove losing its shape and fit.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches or industrial detergents, as these can strip the repellent coating from the fabric. After washing, allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. High heat can cause the nitrile to become brittle, which would significantly reduce the lifespan and safety performance of the product.
