FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING A GLOVE

1. Chemical ResistanceEach chemical requires a different type of glove protection for the wearer. Conditions, exposure times, chemical concentrations and residues may effect glove performance. It is strongly advised that on-site testing of all gloves is important to determine safe usages.
2. Cuff LengthThe cuff length of a standard glove, 240mm, covers only a small area of the wrist. If lower arm protection is required, extra cuff length is needed, such as our 300mm Blue Diamond Textured nitrile gloves.
3. Glove FunctionThe role that the glove will serve will also determine which glove you will require. For example, a textured surface glove provides a more secure grip in wetter conditions.
4. Wearer AllergiesThose who have latex allergies or skin sensitivities will need a latex-free nitrile option such as our Sensitive Powder-free Nitrile gloves. These types of gloves do not contain accelerator chemicals normally used in the manufacturing process of nitrile gloves that can cause skin irritation.
5. Cost vs ValueCheaper gloves can be manufactured from cheap, low-quality raw materials, and subsequently have a higher failure rate. If you are experiencing ripping or breakage problems – moving to a thicker glove is not necessarily the best option, and increases cost and waste.
