Gloves get solvent-free coating
July 1st 2008 Sperian Protection has introduced two new gloves that combine protection with maximum freedom of movement.
Perfect Poly Aqua gloves – knit polyamide/spandex – have a waterbased (solvent-free) polyurethane coating on the palm and fingertips which avoids toxic dangers, reduces the risk of allergies and minimises environmental impact.
The polyurethane does not penetrate the glove, so there is no contact between hand and coating.
The addition of lycra in the material makes it close-fitting to the hand, while new fibre technology has increased the absorption properties of the polyamide, reducing the feeling of perspiration.
The gloves are sold in 10-pair packs in a polyethylene pouch that is 100% photodegradable in three years.
The second new glove, the Polytril Air Comfort, offers a high level of comfort and grip. The foam nitrile coating on the palm and the fingertips ensures a high degree of abrasion resistance and good permeability to oils. Foam nitrile contains air bubbles which help to limit perspiration without affecting the user's sense of touch. More articles from Sperian Protection (UK) Ltd: |
