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: |
