Cut-N-Sewn Patterns -
leather,
supported,
cotton
When Fabric such as canvas, jersey, terrycloth or leather is cut
and sewn for industrial gloves, it is generally constructed in
one of two patterns -
gunn or
clute. Cut-n-sewn synthetic gloves have been impregnated of
laminated with a chemical solution, such as
nitrile or
vinyl, before being cut.
Knit Patterns -
strings
An additional benefit to the seamless construction of string
knits is their
reversible pattern. String knits are constructed with
natural yarn fibers (such as 100% cotton), blend fibers (such as
cotton/polyester) or high performance yarn fibers, such as
KEVLAR®,
Spectra, stainless steel or combinations of these materials,
for maximum abrasion and cut protection.
Dipping -
supported,
unsupported
Unsupported gloves are manufactured by dipping a ceramic mold
directly into a polymer of neoprene, nitrile, PVC, rubber, vinyl
or a combination of these polymers. These polymers determine the
abrasion and cut resistance, as well as the solvent protection
properties of the glove. The thickness of the unsupported glove
is identified by the millimeter measurement (also referred to as
gauge). All synthetic gloves are created by dipping canvas,
jersey or knitted shells into the above mentioned polymers.
Cuff Styles
Cuff styles vary depending on the needs for the specific
applications. The most common are: safety cuffs, gauntlet cuffs,
band top, knit wrist and slip on.
Cuff Materials
Denim - economical single fabric material
Duck - single ply of cotton material (launderable)
Plasticized - waterproof polyethylene layer laminated between
two pieces of fabric (launderable)
Leather - for longer wear and more durable applications (launderable)
Rubberized - two layers of fabric with a rubber material in
between
Starched - two layers of fabric laminated, then starched
