Description
Working gloves are constructed from materials like leather, nitrile, HPPE, Kevlar, and cotton to protect against cuts, heat, chemicals, and abrasion. Key uses include construction, welding, manufacturing, and healthcare.
Key Materials and Primary Applications:
- Leather (Cow, Goat, Sheep):Â Used for heavy-duty protection, welding, and abrasion resistance.
- HPPEÂ (High-Performance Polyethylene):Â Lightweight, durable material providing superior cut resistance for manufacturing and assembly.
- Kevlar:Â Renowned for high heat and cut resistance, ideal for glass handling, metalworking, and, for some, automotive repair.
- Latex:Â Provides high elasticity and dexterity for healthcare, cleaning, and light-duty,,, but not for cut/puncture protection.
- Cotton/Fabric:Â Used for light-duty,,, material handling, and, in some cases, comfort or as under-gloves.
- PVC/Neoprene:Â Common for chemical resistance and, in some cases, handling hazardous materials.
