ASTM/ANSI resistance and CFIA approval

This glove has a puncture resistance level 2 according to ASTM and ANSI standards. It is also approved for food handling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

EN388 4121 mechanical hazard rating

This glove meets EN388 standards for protection against mechanical hazards. This level of protection is expressed by the 4121 rating, where abrasion resistance is 4/4, cut resistance is 1/5, tear resistance is 2/4 and puncture resistance is 1/4.

Features of the finely knit nylon glove

This nylon knit glove is so finely woven that it has almost no effect on the sense of touch, which is useful for workers who need to keep tactile sensitivity. Nylon also does not lint and polyurethane does not flake, which means low particulate shedding on handled parts.

Nylon properties for dexterity and comfort

Nylon exhibits good mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. It is highly wear-resistant, mostly to friction, does not strain the hand easily and resists heat well, but not open flame. Nylon has little to no absorbent quality, which is ideal if you want to keep your hands dry while working.

Polyurethane properties for grip and precision

Polyurethane is a polymer composed of organic units joined by urethane, giving it good chemical and mechanical properties. This material has great resilience, is not known to distort itself and is abrasion-resistant, cut-resistant and tear-resistant. It resists various chemicals, UV light and liquids since it absorbs nothing whatsoever.

PU also offers excellent grip, good touch sensitivity and good dexterity, making this glove useful for fine handling and precision tasks.

Uses in automotive, electronics and cleanroom work

This glove is recommended for the car industry, maintenance, aerospace industry, electronics industry, small parts handling, cleanroom assembly and environments where low particulate shedding on handled products is important.

Restrictions and care for PU coated gloves

Polyurethane offers little to no resistance to heat and, since the glove is partially coated, it is not recommended to submerge it in liquids.

It is recommended to carry out basic maintenance to extend the service life of your gloves. Simply wash them with cold water, that is 85 °F / 30 °C, and a mild detergent. You can then dry them at low temperature in a dryer. Never use bleach on this glove.
