Supported Hand Protection
Supported gloves are great for protection against against
solvents and chemical resistance, abrasions, cuts and punctures.
The glove shell can be dipped into a polymer or the material can
be dipped into a polymer before the glove is sewn. The work
applications determine which glove option is the best choice for
your hand protection needs.
Styles &
Materials
- Dipped - Glove shell dipped in a polymer.
- Neoprene - Provides greater
flexibility plus comprehensive chemical
protection.
- Nitrile - Offers excellent abrasion
resistance.
- PVC - Excellent liquid and solvent
protection.
- Rubber - For applications where
gripping power, cut and puncture resistance are
a concern.
- Vinyl - Breathable, easy gripping,
minimizes absorption of water, oil and grease.
- Cut-N-Sewn - Sewn from material dipped in
a polmer.
- Nitrile - Excellent abrasion
resistance and dexterity.
- Vinyl (Impregnated and Laminated) -
Flexibility and mild abrasion resistance.

Unupported Hand
Protection
Unsupported gloves are best when there is a need for greater
dexterity in applications requiring mild chemical protection or
a disposable glove solution. The gauge identifies the mil
thickness of a glove. A thin gauge allows a sense of touch and a
heavy gauge provides greater protection and durability.
Styles &
Materials
- Heavy Gauge Unsupported - 45 mil to 50
mil thickness.
- Latex - Greater protection and
durability.
- Regular Unsupported - 11 mil to 30 mil
thickness.
- Latex - Canners and flock-lined,
natural rubber, most elastic substance known.
- Nitrile - Unlined and flock-lined,
provides cut, snag, puncture and abrasion
resistance better than any other rubber.
- Neoprene - Flock-lined, resists oils
and offers less hand fatigue.
- Neoprene On Latex - Flock-lined,
unique dipping process to resist specifically
MEK and other ketones and acetones.
- Neoprene Latex Blend - Flock-lined,
blending of two rubbers for multi-purpose use.
- Disposable Unsupported - 5 mil thickness.
- Latex - Medical or industrial grade,
better dexterity, elasticity, cool and
comfortable.
- Vinyl - Medical or industrial grade,
durability, softness, no latex allergens.
- Polyethylene - 1.25 mil thickness,
promotes good hygiene.

Cotton Hand Protection
Cotton gloves are a good choice for comfort and breathability in
general purpose applications and, in heavier weights, for
abrasion and heat protection. Cotton gloves can also be used to
protect the product as well as the hands.
Styles &
Materials
- Quilted - For heavy multi-purpose
applications and added heat protection.
- Chore - General purpose work
- Double Palm - Minimal heat protection
- Hot Mill - Moderate heat protection
- Single Ply - For multi-purpose
applications.
- Canvas - 8, 10 or 12 ounce fabric for
general purpose work. Some styles have PVC dots
to provide better gripping ability and
durability.
- Jersey - 9 ounce jersey for general
purpose work. Some styles have PVC dots to
provide better gripping ability and durability.
- Terrycloth - 9 ounce jersey for
general purpose work. Some styles have PVC dots
to provide better gripping ability and
durability.
- Light Weight - For product protection.
- Inspectors - Made with cotton or
nylon, is reversible, and may also be used as
gloves or liners.

About String Knit Hand
Protection
String knit gloves are used for general purpose work
applications and can provide cut and abrasion resistance, using
high performance yarns, to further protect the hands when
working with sharp objects. Various material weights provide
longer durability or additional dexterity where needed. Some
styles may be dipped or coated with a polymer to provide a
better grip and increase durability.
Material
Information
- High Performance Yarns - For
multi-purpose applications that require additional
cut protection.
- Dyneema ® Knits - Excellent cut
resistance.
- Kevlar ® Knits - Great cut
resistance.
- Stainless Steel - Steelcore,
Steelcore II
- Spectra Fiber - Survivor
- Multi-Purpose Yarns - For multi-purpose
applications.
- 100% Cotton - Absorbent and
breathable.
- Cotton/Polyester - General purpose
work.
- 100% Synthetic - Less linting than
cotton.

Leather Hand Protection
Leather gloves are best for protection from rough objects,
sparks and heat, and for cushioning from blows in heavy duty
work requirements. All kinds of leather provide comfort,
durability, dexterity, mild heat resistance and abrasion
protection. These advantages make leather a traditional favorite
for industrial workers.
Styles &
Patterns
- Leather Palms, Gunn Patterns - For
protection from rough objects, sparks, heat and
cushioning from blows in heavy duty work
requirements.
- Leather Palms, Clute Patterns - Greatest
economy glove offering leather protection.
- Drivers - Allow more dexterity when
operating heavy machinery and vehicles.
- Welders - Provide protection for welding
and heat applications.
- Mig/Tig Welders - afford a fine touch in
low heat applications.
Types Of Leather
- Cow - Cow leather is the most commonly
used leather within the glove industry due to its
plentiful availability. The United States and
Australia produce the majority of these hides. The
advantages include comfort, durability, excellent
abrasion and breathability. Chrome tanning of this
leather provides greater wear and heat resistance.
- Pig - Pigskin offers the greatest
breathability due to the porous texture of this
hide. Additionally, pigskin tends to become softer
with use and withstands moisture without stiffening.
When laundered, this leather will return more to its
natural soft texture than other leathers.
- Goat - Independent tests have proven this
to be a stronger and more durable leather. The
natural lanolin produced by goats help to create the
softest, most abrasion resistant leather. This
leather is highly recommended for applications
requiring tactile sensitivity.
Cuts Of Leather
- Grain - Grain leather is the smooth
external side of the hide. This type of leather
provides durability and dexterity
- Split - Split leather is the rougher
internal side of the hide. The three different types
of split leather is side, shoulder or belly split.
- Side Split - comes from the rib area
of the animal. This part of the leather is more
durable and provides the greatest protection
because of its greater density of fibers.
- Shoulder Split - is more economical
than side, but less durable. The additional
movement in this shoulder area creates less
fibers and a more visable texture difference.
- Belly Split - is the most economical;
however, it has the least consistency of texture
and appearance.
