Features of the impact-resistant TenActiv™ glove with nitrile foam coating

This glove protects your hands with level 3 impact resistance on the back of the hand, while the TenActiv™ knit provides 360° cut resistance. It resists abrasion and punctures without compromising flexibility, and its fiber stays cool against the skin for added comfort. Gripping slippery or lightly oiled objects is made easier by the nitrile foam coating.

The TenActiv™ fiber by Superior Glove

TenActiv™ fiber is a trademark of Superior Glove. Its exact composition remains a well-kept secret of the manufacturer; it is similar to what is known as Dyneema™, also a trademark belonging to another manufacturer. This high-tenacity fiber is the source of the glove’s excellent balance of cut protection, lightness and dexterity.

Applications of the impact glove in construction and material handling

This glove is recommended for labor work, construction, processing industries, assembly lines, industries that handle metals, material handling, the pulp and paper industry, warehouse work and the general public.

Restrictions of the TenActiv™ nitrile foam glove

The composite fiber of this glove is not very heat resistant and the nitrile foam has a low flame resistance. This glove cannot entirely eliminate the risk of injuries and lacerations. The nitrile foam is porous, therefore permeable to liquids; furthermore, since the glove is only partially coated, it does not protect against liquids reaching the back of the hand.
