How Can I Make the Most of My Oil Protection Bundle?

To get the most out of your bundle, you can wear the Polyco F Grip Gloves to provide a little oil resistance, while ensuring sensitivity, exceptional grip and protection against abrasion, knocks and scrapes. You then place a larger pair of the disposable Black Mamba Gloves over the top of your F Grips, where their resilient and oil-resistant design will protect your gloves against the worst of the oil helping to keep them clean.

The Black Mamba Gloves despite their disposable design have a surprising level of tensile strength, meaning that they will last for a significant amount of time before breaking. This helps to ensure the longevity of the bundle and the F Grip Gloves, especially in them tasks where the oil load can be a little heavy.

Why Have we Put These Two Gloves Together?

We've put these two gloves together because they both offer excellent precision handling qualities that when combined together promise to improve productivity and quality of output. To outline the main features of either glove, we've listed them for you below:

Black Mamba Disposable Gloves

• Offer superior tensile strength and won't break easily
• Some of the toughest disposable gloves on the market
• Resistant to oil and a wide range of chemicals
• Grip Rite finish helps to ensure exceptional grip
• Excel in automotive and other oil based industries

Polyco Matrix F Grip Gloves

• Offer superb protection against abrasion, knocks and scrapes
• Offer superb flexibility, sensitivity and dexterity
• Offer light resistance to oil, grease and liquids
• Knitwrist protects the wrist area
• Ideal for gripping tools, operating machinery and handling goods

How Oil Resistant is the Automotive, Engineering and Mechanics Bundle?

The Black Mamba Disposable Gloves are designed with nitrile, meaning that they offer resistance to oil and can be used over an extended period of time without oil sinking through. This is ideal for applications that are heavy in oil. The Polyco Gloves are designed to be resistance to a little amount of oil, which is why the Black Mamba's can protect them should the oil load get heavier.

What Else can the Automotive, Engineering and Mechanics Bundle Protect me From?

Working in mechanical and industrial applications comes with risks other than oil. Don't worry though, as this bundle is designed to have your back.

The Black Mamba Disposable Gloves are incredibly strong for disposable gloves, meaning that the first thing they'll protect will be the Matrix F Grip Gloves underneath. Other than that, they'll protect you from oil, water and a wide range of chemicals. Lastly because they are disposable gloves they'll prevent contamination too, meaning that you can go from job to job without spreading oil and dirt around.

Polyco Matrix F Grip Work Gloves

The Polyco Matrix F Grip Gloves are designed for use in precision handling tasks involve a small to moderate amount of oil. They do offer mechanical resistance too, protecting the hands against abrasion and knocks and scrapes. Their EN 388 score is listed below.

Why is the Oil Protection Bundle Ideal for Gripping Tools?

Both the Black Mamba Gloves and the Polyco F Grip Gloves are designed for gripping tools, machinery and other items. The Black Mamba Gloves come with a finish called 'Grip-Rite' that helps to provide the sensitivity and grip needed for mechanics. The F Grip Gloves are also ideal for precision handling, with their exceptional sensitivity and roughened nitrile palm coating that enables you to grip even the slipperiest of items.

The flexibility of the F Grip Gloves is ideal for gripping tools

How Comfortable is the Automotive, engineering and Mechanics Bundle?

You might think that wearing two layers of gloves may be a little uncomfortable. Well that's not the case, as the Polyco F Grip Gloves are extremely thin with a 40% polyester liner that feels snug but comfortable around the hand. The Black Mamba Gloves should be bought a size larger than usual, and should slide over your reusable Polyco Gloves with ease.

What Materials are Used in the Making of the Oil Protection Bundle?

Both gloves use different materials in their making, however both are latex-free so that the chances of skin irritation are greatly reduced. The Polyco F Grip Gloves are designed using 40% polyester and 60% nitrile, while the Black Mamba Gloves are designed entirely using nitrile.

Can I Wash the Oil Protection Bundle?

You won't need to wash your Black Mamba Gloves because they are disposable meaning that once a pair are dirty, you can throw them in the bin and pick up a new pair. The idea is that they prevent your F Grip Gloves from becoming dirty, however if they do become dirty they are suitable for machine washing. We would recommend against tumble drying the gloves.

Please note that machine washing your Polyco F Grip Gloves could damage their overall gloves.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
