Product Overview
The Impact 15 Nitrile Micro Foam Glove is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed for the modern professional who demands both safety and technical functionality. Specifically engineered for environments where low-energy impact risks are present, these gloves provide a critical layer of defense without sacrificing the dexterity required for intricate tasks. The integration of advanced materials ensures that the wearer remains protected, productive, and connected throughout the working day.
Key Features
- TPR Impact Protection: Strategically placed Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) zones provide essential shielding against low-energy impacts, reducing the risk of bruising and injury during demanding manual tasks.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The fingertips are designed to work seamlessly with most touchscreen devices, allowing you to operate tablets and smartphones without the need to remove your gloves and expose your hands to hazards.
- ESD Integrated Liner: The inclusion of carbon fibre within the liner creates an Electro Static Discharge (ESD) safe environment, which is vital for protecting sensitive electronic components from static damage.
- Nitrile Micro Foam Coating: This specialised coating offers an exceptional grip in various conditions while remaining breathable, ensuring comfort during long periods of use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight yet resilient blend of nylon, elastic, and elastane, these gloves offer a snug, ergonomic fit that mimics the natural movement of the hand. The addition of carbon fibre is not merely for safety; it contributes to the structural integrity of the glove. The micro foam nitrile finish is designed to be robust enough for daily use while being thin enough to provide the tactile feedback necessary for precision engineering or assembly work. The overall design prioritises a balance between high-performance protection and the lightweight feel of a second skin.
Why No Customisation?
To ensure the continued efficacy of the safety features, specifically the ESD (Electro Static Discharge) properties and the impact-resistant TPR zones, we do not offer customisation on this product. Adding embroidery or heat-applied logos could potentially compromise the conductive paths within the carbon fibre liner or damage the integrity of the protective materials. Maintaining the glove in its original state is essential for your safety and compliance with technical standards.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, precision assembly, and telecommunications. They are equally effective for warehouse operatives who frequently interact with touchscreen inventory systems but require a level of protection against the knocks and bumps associated with manual handling and maintenance work.

Practical Advice
For the most effective protection and the best touchscreen response, ensure you select the correct size to achieve a tight, wrinkle-free fit. A glove that is too large will reduce dexterity and may lead to the TPR protection being misaligned with your knuckles and fingers. These are designed to be worn as a standalone item to maintain their ESD and impact properties.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your gloves is vital to ensure the ESD properties and grip remain effective over time. Accumulations of dirt or grease can act as an insulator, potentially hindering the static-dissipative qualities of the carbon fibre liner.
We recommend a gentle hand wash or a light wipe-down with a damp cloth to remove surface contaminants. Avoid using strong chemical detergents or bleach, as these substances can break down the nitrile coating and cause the TPR impact zones to become brittle or detach from the fabric.
Always allow the gloves to dry naturally at room temperature. Subjecting them to high heat, such as on a radiator or in a tumble dryer, can cause the elastane to lose its stretch and the nitrile to crack, which will significantly shorten the lifespan of the product and reduce the level of protection provided.
