Features of the glove with air-filled chloroprene cells

This anti-vibration glove in cotton and nylon knit is fairly economical and offers excellent dexterity. The chloroprene cells covering the palm are filled with air and act as a shock absorber that dissipates vibrations. This type of equipment helps reduce fatigue and micro-injuries to the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders.

Cotton properties for comfort and breathability

Cotton absorbs liquids such as water and sebum wonderfully well without becoming too damp. It also lets the skin breathe, is hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch, which suits people with sensitive skin perfectly. Cotton also has low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for light work in both hot and cold environments.

Nylon properties for wear resistance

Nylon has good mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. It resists wear very well, especially friction, does not tire the hand quickly and resists heat well, but not flame. It has low absorbency, which is ideal for keeping hands dry.

Applications of the anti-vibration glove with hand and power tools

This glove is recommended for workers who use tools such as hammers, chipping hammers, needle guns, sanders, jackhammers, riveting tools, chainsaws and grinders. It protects against abrasion, impacts and vibrations, making it an ideal candidate for handling hand or power tools.

Restrictions of the BlackMaxx™ anti-vibration glove

This glove only offers limited protection against cuts, tears and punctures: it cannot eliminate the risk of injuries and lacerations. Furthermore, while it helps absorb and dissipate impacts and vibrations, it cannot fully prevent injuries or the development of carpal tunnel syndrome or other occupational diseases related to repetitive work.

Basic maintenance is recommended to extend the life of your gloves. Simply wash them in cold water at 85°F/30°C with a mild detergent. You can then machine dry them at low temperature. Never use bleach on this glove.
