Product Overview
In hazardous industrial environments, hand protection is not merely a requirement but a critical necessity. The Impact C13 Nitrile Foam TPV Reinforced Palm Glove is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed to mitigate the risks associated with high-impact tasks and sharp materials. Combining Cut Level C protection with an innovative impact-resistant shell, this glove ensures that the wearer remains safe without sacrificing the dexterity required for precise technical work.
Key Features
- Innovative TPV Back Protection: The back of the hand is shielded by Thermoplastic Vulcanized (TPV) pods, which provide robust impact resistance and high flexibility, ensuring your knuckles and metacarpals are protected against sudden blows.
- Nitrile Micro Foam Palm: This specialised coating offers superior grip and creates an effective barrier against liquids and water penetration, making it ideal for oily or wet conditions.
- Cut Level C Resistance: Utilising a high-performance blend of HPPE and Glass Fibre, the glove provides a sturdy defence against lacerations and sharp edges.
- Ergonomic Design: Anatomically shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand, reducing hand fatigue during extended shifts.
- Reinforced Palm: The palm area is specifically reinforced to handle high-abrasion tasks, extending the lifespan of the glove.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A723 rests on its intricate material composition. The liner is constructed from a blend of HPPE, Nylon, Glass Fibre, and Polyester. This combination creates a lightweight yet incredibly strong framework that provides high tensile strength while remaining breathable. The inclusion of Elastane ensures a snug, secure fit that moves with the hand.
The TPV protection on the back is designed to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy. Unlike rigid protectors, this material is flexible enough to allow a full range of motion, which is essential for handling tools and components. The nitrile micro foam palm is porous enough to provide a 'suction' effect for grip, yet dense enough to prevent oil and water from reaching the skin, maintaining comfort throughout the working day.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific product. As a piece of safety-critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), any modification to the fabric or the protective layers could potentially compromise its integrity and its certified safety ratings. Our priority is ensuring that the glove performs exactly as tested to keep you protected on the job.
Use Cases
This glove is specifically designed for professionals working in heavy engineering, construction, and glass handling. It is also highly effective for maintenance crews and automotive technicians who frequently encounter sharp components and heavy machinery where impact risks are prevalent.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for UK businesses. Based in Telford, Shropshire, we have decades of experience in selecting and supplying only the highest quality technical workwear. We understand that in the world of PPE, there is no room for error, which is why we only stock products that meet rigorous industry standards.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly but does not restrict circulation. A proper fit is essential for the TPV impact pads to align correctly with your knuckles. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for impact gloves to ensure full coverage of the hand's joints.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance standards of these gloves and ensure the longevity of the nitrile coating, proper maintenance is essential. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of oils and debris that can degrade the synthetic fibres and the grip surface.
We recommend a gentle hand wash or a cold machine cycle using a mild detergent. You should avoid the use of bleach or oxidising agents, as these chemicals can weaken the HPPE and Glass Fibre structural integrity, significantly reducing the cut resistance of the glove.
Never tumble dry these gloves. High temperatures can cause the TPV impact protectors to warp and the nitrile foam to harden or crack. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. This ensures the elastane components maintain their elasticity for a secure fit over time.
