Suitable Environments and Professions for Use
Please view the list below to see which professions, environments and jobs suit the unique properties and characteristics of Polyco GL897 Disposable Gloves:
Durable Synthetic Nitrile Foundation
Synthetic nitrile is an incredibly grippy coating as it works tirelessly to absorb micro-liquids, perspiration and moisture that can linger on fabric. Nitrile coatings use tiny microbial bubbles to eliminate the risk of drops and slippage when handling intricate and precision based implements and material.
Contamination Safe Powder-Free Design
Powder-free gloves reduce the chance of contamination by preventing the spread and fallout of tiny particles inside the glove. They are also perfect for individuals with sensitive skin who find contact with powders and dust uncomfortable and irritating.
Perfect for Irritation Prone Skin
Combine this powder-free design with a nitrile foundation fabric and you have gloves that make perfect sense for individuals with dermatitis, eczema, irritation prone and sensitive skin. Nitrile contains no latex proteins, meaning it doesn't initiate the same allergic reactions that latex can in certain individuals. The lack of these proteins also eliminates the chance of that blotchy and nasty, claggy feeling some users experience when removing latex gloves after long periods.
Food Contact Safe
Accredited as sanitary and food contact safe under safety regulation EN 1186, Polyco Bodyguards are the perfect box of gloves to have around for transferrable and multifunctional use in canteens and kitchens. Whether it's for cleaning up or directly prepping food, Polyco GL897 Gloves are robust and strong enough to withstand contact with grease, oils and fats without breaking down or allowing foodstuffs and liquids to seep through.
Textured Fingertips Enhance Grip Stability
Protective gloves are only as good as the work they allow you to get done. Handling intricate, precision based implements and tools are all part of the job, whether you're a mechanic or a lab worker.
Polyco Bodyguards GL897 Gloves feature a textured and slightly stippled design at the fingertips, giving you better purchase on switches, machine parts and tools. This grippy design feature prevents drops and slippage when tattooing clients, making minute alterations to engines or inspecting machinery.
