Product Overview
The Grip 18 PU Glove is a precision-engineered solution for professionals who refuse to compromise between protection and tactile sensitivity. Constructed with an exceptionally fine 18-gauge liner, this glove offers an ultra-thin profile that feels remarkably like a second skin. This design is specifically intended to facilitate high levels of dexterity and breathability, ensuring that even the most intricate tasks can be performed with ease. The integration of a Polyurethane (PU) dip on the palm provides a durable layer of protection, making it a sophisticated choice for modern industrial environments.
Key Features
- The ultra-thin 18-gauge liner provides unparalleled dexterity, allowing the wearer to handle small components and delicate tools with total precision.
- A specialised PU palm coating offers Level 3 abrasion resistance, ensuring the glove remains durable against rough surfaces while maintaining a slim profile.
- The breathable fabric construction promotes airflow around the hand, which significantly reduces moisture build-up and keeps the wearer comfortable during long shifts.
- An integrated elasticated cuff ensures a secure and snug fit, which prevents the entry of dust or debris and keeps the glove perfectly positioned on the hand.
Design & Performance
The technical design of the Grip 18 PU Glove focuses on the synergy between its materials—a blend of nylon and polyester for strength, and elastic for a conforming fit. The result is a glove that is both flexible and resilient. The lightweight nature of the fabric liner ensures that hand fatigue is kept to a minimum, even during repetitive tasks. Performance is further enhanced by the PU dip, which provides a reliable grip in dry conditions without the tackiness or bulk of heavier coatings. This makes it a high-performing option for those who require a balance of mechanical resistance and sensory feedback.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on this product. This is because the Grip 18 PU Glove is a piece of technical personal protective equipment (PPE). Any modification to the fabric or the protective coating could potentially compromise its structural integrity or its performance against abrasions. Furthermore, the ultra-thin, finely knit material is not a suitable substrate for standard customisation methods, and we prioritise your safety and the product's performance above all else.
Use Cases
These gloves are exceptionally well-suited for workers in electronics assembly, precision engineering, and light manufacturing where the ability to feel small parts is vital. They are also highly effective for warehouse staff involved in picking and packing, as well as for general maintenance tasks where basic hand protection is required without sacrificing movement or comfort.

Practical Advice
To get the best performance from these gloves, ensure you select a size that fits snugly against the skin. A loose fit will negate the benefits of the ultra-thin liner and may lead to reduced dexterity. For those working in variable conditions, these gloves can also serve as a high-dexterity base layer under larger, more specialised gloves if additional protection is required, though they are at their best when used as a standalone item for precision work.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your Grip 18 PU Gloves is essential for ensuring they continue to provide the necessary protection and grip. Since these are technical items, they should be treated with care to preserve the integrity of the PU coating and the fine knit of the liner.
We recommend cleaning these gloves by wiping them down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and oils. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres and cause the PU coating to become brittle, which would reduce the abrasion resistance.
The gloves should be allowed to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Subjecting the gloves to high temperatures in a tumble dryer or on a radiator can cause the elasticated cuffs to lose their shape and the PU material to peel, significantly shortening the life of the product.
