Here are some of the materials that make for the best grip industrial gloves, and their suitability for different conditions:

Nitrile

Nitrile is a synthetic compound that offers chemical, puncture, and abrasion resistance as well as superior grip. It is also resistant to many chemicals, solvents, greases, oils, and water, and so makes for a great liquid resistant and chemical resistant glove.

Nitrile gloves are a great alternative to latex for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they are suitable for use by those who suffer from latex allergies or sensitivity. Secondly, whereas latex is susceptible to degradation from oils and grease, nitrile is resistant to these – making nitrile a preferred choice in these types of applications. Unigloves manufactures a range of nitrile gloves using a variety of different coatings and treatments, including:

  • Foam nitrile coated gloves: Offering resistance to oils and grease, flexible foam nitrile coating wicks away moisture from the hand. Palm coated versions allow for breathability on the back of the hand, while ensuring maximum grip, making it incredibly versatile.
  • Sandy nitrile coated gloves: For resistance to oils and grease and a physical barrier to materials, liquids, and abrasive objects. The sandy nitrile coating gives exceptional grip in dry, wet, or oily conditions as well as added protection against tears and abrasions.
  • Flat nitrile coating: This coating offers flexibility and dexterity, superior grip in dry and damp conditions whilst offering excellent tear and abrasion resistance.

Latex

Latex is one of the most popular materials due to its elasticity, comfort and excellent dexterity. This coating also provides excellent grip in dry or wet conditions however is not suitable for contact with oils or greases, as these can degrade the material. Latex gloves that make for the best grip work gloves feature:

  • Crinkle latex coating: For superior dry and wet grip (not suitable for oils and grease) and good tear and abrasion protection.
  • Foam latex coating: Flexible and extremely comfortable offering superb grip in dry and wet conditions, making it perfect for a wide variety of handling duties. The foam latex moulds to the hand, giving outstanding fit and feel.
