Work&Safety Gloves’ Materials

YARN

Metal wire - common stainless steel wire, also include chromium alloy wire, is mainly used to manufacture cut resistant gloves. This type of material has the strongest cut resistance and is easy to clean, but it is heavy in weight.


Cotton - also a natural material, is a textile fiber composed of smooth filaments on the surface of cotton seeds, which can be appropriately used to protect against high and low temperatures. However due to the need to meet protective requirements, gloves made with good thickness have ordinary flexibility.

 

HPPE - High strength and high modulus polyethylene fiber has excellent physical properties. Chemical groups with high crystallinity and difficulty in reacting with chemicals. Therefore, it is resistant to water, humidity, chemical corrosion, and ultraviolet radiation, it does not need to undergo ultraviolet radiation treatment.

 

Aramid fiber - is a new type of high-tech synthetic fiber. Aramid fiber is suitable for bulletproof clothing, helmets, aerospace materials, sports materials, tire framework materials, conveyor belt materials, etc., with insulation, high temperature resistance, aging resistance and other properties.

 

Polyester cotton - refers to the general term for polyester and cotton blended fabrics. In both dry and wet conditions, it has good elasticity , wear resistance, stable size, low shrinkage rate  and also has the characteristics of being straight and smooth, washing easily and drying quickly. The disadvantage is that it is easy to adsorb greasy dirt. And during the wearing process, it is easy to get static electricity and adsorb dust, which make it difficult to wash, especially cannot be ironed at high temperatures or soaked in boiling water. Polyester cotton is a kind of synthetic fiber that cannot be degraded.


COATING

Nitrile  -  wear resistant and puncture resistant, making it flexible and comfortable to use.

 

Natural latex  - has good elasticity, special flexibility, also has certain wear resistance, tear resistance  and cut resistance.

 

PVC  - can provide certain wear and puncture protection, and if the material is thicker, it can also have certain cut resistance, but not tear resistance.

 

PU - Ultra fine fiber reinforced leather, which has extremely excellent wear resistance, excellent breathability, aging resistance, softness and comfort, strong flexibility, and the environmental protection effect currently advocated.

 

LEATHER

Leather - a natural material that has unique properties through various tanning treatments. Leather can be divided into: cowhide, which has the advantages of comfort, durability, breathability and wear resistance. After chrome trample treatment, it is more durable and can withstand high temperature; Pig skin with large pores and the best breathability, can still maintain good softness after washing without hardening; Sheepskin is most comfortable, durable and wear-resistant, but due to its high price, it is generally only used in industries with high tactile requirements.
