Description

The HG-73 nitrile coated gloves address the hand protection needs of workers performing varied tasks that demand both dexterity and durability. These gloves suit construction crews, automotive technicians, warehouse staff, and assembly line workers who handle tools, components, and materials requiring secure grip and finger control. The blue nitrile coating adds visibility for safety compliance while delivering consistent performance across different work conditions.

Features and Benefits:

• Blue nitrile palm coating provides firm grip on dry surfaces and maintains hold on lightly oily materials
• Seamless nylon shell creates a smooth interior free from seams that cause friction and blisters
• EN 388:4131 performance rating confirms Level 4 abrasion, Level 1 cut, Level 3 tear, and Level 1 puncture resistance
• Breathable uncoated back allows air circulation to prevent heat buildup and excessive sweating
• Ergonomic shaping follows natural hand contours for unrestricted movement and reduced fatigue
• Elasticated knit wrist cuff seals against dirt and debris while ensuring secure fit
• High tactile sensitivity allows workers to feel surface details and component positioning
• Superior dexterity maintains finger mobility for precision tasks and small part handling
• Abrasion resistant surface withstands repeated contact with rough materials and textured surfaces
• Tear resistant construction holds together under stress without developing holes at pressure points
• 10 Gauge 2 Yarns Blue T/C Liner: This is a slightly thicker liner compared to 13 gauge liners discussed previously. It might provide a bit more durability and protection from minor bumps or scrapes compared to thinner liners, but could slightly reduce dexterity.
• Blue Latex Crinkle Finished Coating: Latex offers good elasticity and dexterity, while the crinkle finish enhances grip in wet or dry environments. The blue color likely doesn’t affect performance but could be for identification within the manufacturer’s line.

Technical Build

The HG-73 combines a seamless knitted nylon liner with a nitrile coating applied to palm and finger surfaces. The seamless construction eliminates interior ridges that cause discomfort during repetitive hand movements. The nitrile coating bonds securely to the nylon base, creating a durable grip layer tested to EN 388:4131 standards. The CE marking confirms compliance with European PPE requirements recognized across UAE industries.

EN 388:4131 Protection Advantage

The EN 388:4131 rating on the HG-73 indicates strong abrasion resistance (Level 4) combined with good tear resistance (Level 3). This performance profile suits workers who handle rough materials repeatedly throughout their shifts. The high abrasion rating means the palm coating withstands friction from concrete, metal, wood, and other construction materials better than lower-rated alternatives.

Use-Case Scenarios

• Construction sites handling building materials, tools, and fixtures
• Automotive handling working with parts, components, and assemblies
• Warehousing operations moving boxes, packages, and inventory items
• Gardening and landscaping tasks involving plants, soil, and outdoor equipment
• General assembly work positioning components and operating machinery
• Inspection and quality control examining products and identifying defects
• Maintenance and repair tasks involving tools, fasteners, and equipment

Ideal Applications

These gloves could be suitable for various tasks requiring:

• Construction and building projects
• Automotive parts handling and service
• Warehousing and logistics operations
• Gardening and landscaping work
• General assembly and manufacturing
• Inspection and quality control tasks
• Maintenance and repair activities
• Food Handling: Tasks involving handling wet or oily food items (check for food safety certifications).
• Light Assembly: Handling parts, sorting objects, basic packing tasks (especially if some moisture or grip is involved).
• Cleaning: Tasks involving light cleaning with water-based solutions (check for chemical resistance).
• Applications with Minor Abrasion Hazards: The slightly thicker liner might offer some protection for tasks with a low risk of scrapes or bumps (e.g., handling rougher materials).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the EN 388:4131 rating mean?
A: The four digits represent performance levels for mechanical hazards. The HG-73 scores Level 4 for abrasion resistance (highest common rating), Level 1 for blade cut resistance, Level 3 for tear resistance, and Level 1 for puncture resistance. This profile indicates strong durability against wear and tearing during general handling tasks.

Q: How does the abrasion resistance benefit workers?
A: Level 4 abrasion resistance means the palm coating withstands significantly more friction cycles before wearing through compared to lower-rated gloves. Workers handling rough materials like concrete blocks, lumber, metal parts, and textured surfaces get longer glove life and more consistent protection throughout use.

Q: Can these gloves handle oily conditions?
A: The nitrile coating maintains acceptable grip on surfaces with light oil films. For heavy oil saturation or continuous contact with petroleum products, consider gloves with full nitrile dipping or specialized oil-resistant coatings designed for those specific exposures.

Q: Are these gloves comfortable for all-day wear?
A: Yes. The seamless nylon liner prevents interior friction points. The breathable uncoated back allows heat and moisture to escape. The ergonomic fit and elasticated cuff provide secure positioning without restricting circulation or causing hand fatigue during extended shifts.

Q: What makes these different from PU coated gloves?
A: Nitrile coatings offer better resistance to abrasions, oils, and punctures compared to polyurethane. The HG-73 with its Level 4 abrasion rating outlasts PU alternatives in tasks involving rough material handling. PU gloves provide thinner coverage for precision electronics work where maximum tactile feedback matters most.

Q: Do these gloves meet UAE workplace safety requirements?
A: The CE marking and EN 388 compliance satisfy international safety standards recognized across UAE industries. They meet PPE requirements for construction, automotive, manufacturing, warehousing, and general industrial workplace environments.

Q: What size options are available for the HG-73?
A: The HG-73 is currently available in size 10/XL. Contact our sales team for information about additional sizes or bulk orders requiring multiple size ranges for your team.
