Product Overview
The Impact E18 Nitrile Antistatic ESD Glove is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed for environments where precision and safety are non-negotiable. Engineered for the professional handling sensitive electronic components or working in areas with high cut and impact risks, this glove offers a Level E cut resistance rating, which is essential for protection against sharp materials. The inclusion of antistatic properties ensures that electrostatic discharge (ESD) is safely managed, protecting both the wearer and the delicate equipment they handle.
Key Features
- Level E Cut Resistance: This provides a high degree of protection against lacerations, making it suitable for handling glass, metal, or other sharp-edged materials safely.
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Safety: The anti-static properties are critical for preventing static build-up, ensuring that sensitive electronic components are not damaged during handling.
- PVC Impact Plates: These plates are strategically positioned to dissipate medium impact loads across the design, protecting the back of the hand from bumps and knocks without sacrificing movement.
- Nitrile-Coated Palm: The water-jet-washed nitrile coating offers a superior grip in varied conditions while maintaining a clean surface for sensitive tasks.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: By strengthening this high-wear area, the glove provides increased longevity and durability, even during repetitive handling tasks.
Design & Performance
Design meets dexterity in the A756. The glove features an ultra-fine 18-gauge liner that provides a skintight fit, which is paramount for tasks requiring high levels of precision and tactile feedback. Despite its lightweight and flexible feel, the glove does not compromise on protection. The ergonomic PVC impact design is specifically tailored to complement the natural movement of the hand, effectively reducing hand fatigue during long shifts.
The nitrile coating is not just about grip; the water-jet washing process ensures the finish is of the highest quality, providing a reliable barrier while remaining flexible enough for intricate work. The combination of high-cut resistance and impact protection makes this a substantial choice for heavy-duty tasks that still require a fine touch.
Why No Customisation?
This product is sold as-is and cannot be customised with embroidery or heat transfers. As a high-performance piece of safety equipment, any modification to the fabric or the addition of external materials could potentially compromise the ESD properties and the integrity of the cut-resistant liner. To ensure you remain fully protected and compliant with safety standards, we provide these gloves in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals in the electronics manufacturing sector, where ESD safety is a priority. They are equally effective in automotive assembly, metal fabrication, and glass handling industries where the risk of impact and high-level cuts is a daily reality. Anyone working with sensitive components in a hazardous environment will find these an essential addition to their kit.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been at the forefront of the UK workwear industry. Operating from our base in Telford, we have spent decades refining our expertise in providing high-quality safety solutions. We understand that the right gear is not just about comfort, but about ensuring every professional returns home safely at the end of the day.
Practical Advice
Due to the skintight 18-gauge liner, we recommend ensuring a snug fit to maximise the benefit of the tactile sensitivity. If you are between sizes, consider the nature of your work; for high-precision tasks, a closer fit is usually preferable to avoid any excess material at the fingertips.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance safety features of your gloves, regular inspection is vital. We recommend checking for any signs of wear, particularly on the nitrile coating and the impact plates, before every use. If the integrity of the glove is compromised, it should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection.
While specific washing instructions are not provided in the technical data, it is generally advisable to keep these gloves free from heavy dirt and contaminants which could affect the ESD performance. Always refer to the specific manufacturer's instructions included with the packaging to ensure the cut resistance and antistatic properties remain effective throughout the life of the product.
