Product Overview
The Impact C13 Nitrile Foam Reinforced Palm Thermal Glove is a high-specification solution for professionals operating in cold environments where mechanical hazards are a constant presence. Designed to provide a balance between extreme protection and necessary dexterity, this glove combines a cut-resistant shell with an integrated thermal lining. It is engineered to keep hands warm without the bulk often associated with winter hand protection, ensuring that precision tasks can still be carried out effectively in sub-zero conditions.
Key Features
- TPR Impact Resistance: An added layer of Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) is strategically placed to offer maximum impact protection to the back of the hand, reducing the risk of crush or strike injuries in heavy-duty environments.
- Nitrile Micro Foam Palm: The palm is coated in a nitrile micro foam that provides superior grip and acts as a barrier against water and liquid penetration, essential for maintaining control of tools in damp conditions.
- High-Level Cut Resistance: Constructed using a blend of HPPE and Glass Fibre, the glove provides robust protection against sharp materials and abrasive surfaces.
- Thermal Acrylic Lining: The internal acrylic layer traps heat effectively, ensuring that hand temperature is maintained in low-temperature work zones.
- Ergonomic Design: The glove is shaped to mimic the natural curve of the hand, which significantly reduces hand fatigue during extended periods of wear.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of the A729 is rooted in its multi-material construction. By utilizing a foundation of HPPE, Nylon, and Glass Fibre, the glove achieves a high level of tensile strength without becoming rigid. The addition of elastic ensures a secure fit around the wrist, preventing debris or cold air from entering the glove.
The nitrile foam coating is specifically chosen for its performance in oily or wet scenarios; unlike standard smooth coatings, the micro-porous texture creates a suction-like effect on surfaces, providing a dependable grip. Despite its sturdy build and impact-absorbing components, the glove remains surprisingly flexible, allowing for the subtle movements required in mechanical or assembly work.
Why No Customisation?
This product is classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold as-is to ensure your safety remains uncompromised. Applying custom embroidery would require puncturing the protective shell and thermal lining, which would immediately degrade the glove's cut resistance and thermal properties. Similarly, heat-applied logos could damage the nitrile foam or the TPR impact shielding. We prioritise your physical protection over branding on this specific technical item.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for heavy construction, oil and gas exploration, and mechanical engineering during the winter months. They are equally effective for workers in cold storage facilities or outdoor logistics, where both impact protection and thermal insulation are non-negotiable requirements for safe operation.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent decades refining the selection of protective gear we offer to the British workforce. Operating from our base in Telford, we bring an authoritative level of expertise to the selection of PPE, ensuring that the products we provide—like the A729—meet the rigorous demands of modern industry. We don't just sell workwear; we understand the technical requirements of the people who wear it.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug but comfortable fit. A glove that is too tight can restrict blood circulation, making your hands feel colder, while a glove that is too loose will compromise the effectiveness of the impact protection and reduce your grip control. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for thermal gloves to allow for the internal lining.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance standards of these gloves, we recommend a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild detergent. This ensures the nitrile coating remains supple and the thermal lining does not lose its loft. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and compromise the impact-resistant TPR layer.
Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the nitrile foam to become brittle and crack, significantly reducing the lifespan and grip efficiency of the glove. Do not tumble dry, as the mechanical agitation and heat can damage the glass fibre components within the fabric shell.
