Product Overview
The Impact F15 Nitrile Foam Reinforced G Palm Glove is a high-specification safety solution engineered for the most demanding environments, particularly within the Oil and Gas industry. By integrating an innovative TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) impact design with a high-performance Level F cut-resistant liner, this glove provides a sophisticated balance of extreme protection and tactile dexterity. It is a vital component for professionals who refuse to compromise on safety or performance.
Key Features
- Level F Cut Resistance: The liner is constructed from a blend of HPPE and Steel Fibre to provide the highest available protection against sharp objects and mechanical risks.
- 15-Gauge Breathable Liner: This fine-knit construction offers a lightweight feel that promotes airflow, reducing hand perspiration and fatigue during long shifts.
- Double Dipped Nitrile Foam Coating: The two-layer coating provides a robust barrier against liquids while maintaining an exceptional grip in both wet and oily conditions.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch and Padded Palms: These high-wear areas are bolstered with additional padding and reinforcement to extend the life of the glove and absorb vibration.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Integrated technology allows the user to operate mobile devices and industrial screens without removing their hand protection.
Design & Performance
The technical architecture of this glove focuses on the synergy between protection and ergonomics. The TPR elements on the back of the hand are strategically placed to deflect impact energy away from the knuckles and metacarpals, which is critical in heavy-duty manual handling. Despite its sturdy build, the 15-gauge liner ensures the glove remains remarkably flexible.
In terms of grip performance, the nitrile foam coating is specifically engineered to channel oils and fluids away from the surface. This 'suction' effect ensures that even in slippery environments, tools and components can be handled with confidence. The interior and exterior padded palms further enhance comfort, providing a cushioned interface when operating heavy machinery or tools.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is a high-performance piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation services. Applying embroidery would involve piercing the protective liner and the steel-fibre reinforced fabric, which could significantly degrade the cut resistance. Similarly, heat-applied transfers could compromise the integrity of the TPR impact protection and the nitrile coating. To ensure the glove performs to its certified safety standards, it must be used in its original, unmodified state.
Use Cases
While specifically tailored for the Oil and Gas sector, these gloves are an excellent choice for heavy construction, metal fabrication, and demolition work. They are ideal for any professional working in high-risk environments where impact injuries and severe cuts are constant hazards.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, particularly for a 4XL glove, ensure a snug fit that allows for full finger extension. A glove that is too loose will impede the effectiveness of the touchscreen compatibility and may cause the TPR impact protection to sit incorrectly on the hand. For maximum durability, avoid using these gloves with rotating machinery where entanglement risks are present.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the high-performance fibres and the nitrile coating, it is essential to store these gloves away from direct sunlight and heat sources. UV exposure can cause the TPR and nitrile to become brittle over time, which reduces their protective capabilities.
We recommend a gentle cleaning process if the gloves become heavily soiled. Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners, as these will break down the synthetic fibres and the steel-fibre blend, potentially lowering the cut resistance of the liner. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally; using a tumble dryer or high heat can shrink the liner and damage the impact-resistant elements.
