Description

The HG-56 nitrile coated gloves serve workers who need reliable hand protection for varied daily tasks without specialized requirements. These gloves suit automotive technicians, warehouse operators, assembly line workers, and maintenance crews who handle different materials and surfaces throughout their shifts. The nitrile palm coating adds durability and grip while the nylon liner maintains the flexibility needed for tool handling and component manipulation.

Features and Benefits:

• Black nitrile palm coating provides firm grip on dry surfaces and light oil films without slipping
• Seamless grey nylon liner creates a smooth interior that prevents friction points and blisters
• Breathable uncoated back allows air circulation to reduce heat buildup and perspiration
• Elastic wrist cuff seals against dirt, dust, and debris while ensuring a secure fit
• Abrasion resistant surface withstands repeated contact with rough materials and textured surfaces
• Puncture protection guards against sharp edges, wire ends, and pointed objects
• Minor cut resistance provides a protective layer against incidental blade contact
• High dexterity design maintains finger mobility for precision tasks and tool operation
• Tactile sensitivity allows workers to feel surface details and component alignment
• Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended work periods
• 13 Gauge White Polyester Liner: This indicates a thin and flexible liner, allowing for good finger movement and dexterity.
• Light Grey Nitrile Smooth Finish: Nitrile offers enhanced grip, especially in wet or oily environments. It also provides some chemical resistance, but the specific chemicals and the level of resistance will depend on the exact nitrile formulation used. The “smooth finish” likely refers to the texture of the nitrile coating, which might affect grip properties slightly compared to a rougher textured finish.

Technical Build

The HG-56 combines a seamless knitted nylon shell with a nitrile coating applied across palm and finger surfaces. The seamless knitting process eliminates interior seams that cause discomfort during repetitive tasks. The nitrile coating bonds to the nylon fibers to create a durable grip layer that resists wear patterns from normal handling activities. These gloves carry EN388 certification for mechanical risk protection, confirming tested performance against workplace hazards.

Nitrile Palm Grip Advantage

The palm-coated design of the HG-56 concentrates protection where contact occurs most frequently while leaving the back uncoated for breathability. This configuration works well for workers who grip tools, handle parts, and manipulate objects throughout their shifts. The nitrile coating maintains its grip characteristics across temperature variations common in UAE work environments, from air-conditioned facilities to outdoor construction sites.

Use-Case Scenarios

• General maintenance and repair tasks involving tools, fasteners, and equipment
• Automotive industry work including parts handling, assembly, and service operations
• Warehousing and logistics operations moving boxes, packages, and inventory items
• Light construction work handling building materials, fixtures, and hardware
• Electrical component handling where dexterity and grip matter for small parts
• Gardening and landscaping tasks involving plants, soil, and outdoor equipment
• DIY and home improvement projects requiring hand protection and grip assistance

Ideal Applications

These gloves could be suitable for various tasks requiring a balance of features:

• General maintenance and repair work
• Automotive service and assembly
• Warehousing and logistics handling
• Light construction and building tasks
• Electrical component assembly
• Gardening and outdoor maintenance
• DIY projects and home improvement
• Light Assembly: Handling parts, sorting objects, basic packing tasks.
• General Maintenance: Tasks involving some oil or grease, where grip and dexterity are important (e.g., equipment maintenance).
• Light Construction Tasks: Handling tools and materials where heavy abrasion or sharp objects are not a major concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does EN388 certification mean for these gloves?
A: EN388 is the European standard for gloves protecting against mechanical hazards. This certification confirms the HG-56 has been tested for abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. The certification ensures the gloves meet recognized safety benchmarks for general industrial use.

Q: Can these gloves handle oily conditions?
A: The nitrile palm coating performs well in dry conditions and maintains acceptable grip on surfaces with light oil films. For heavy oil exposure or fully saturated conditions, consider gloves with full nitrile dipping or specialized oil-resistant coatings from the AAA Safe range.

Q: How do these gloves compare to PU coated alternatives?
A: Nitrile coatings offer better resistance to oils, abrasions, and punctures compared to polyurethane. PU coated gloves provide thinner coverage and greater tactile sensitivity for precision electronics work. The HG-56 strikes a balance between protection and dexterity for general purpose applications.

Q: Are these gloves comfortable for full shift wear?
A: Yes. The seamless nylon liner eliminates interior friction points. The breathable uncoated back allows heat and moisture to escape. The lightweight construction and elastic cuff provide secure fit without restricting blood flow or causing hand fatigue.

Q: What protection level do these gloves provide against cuts?
A: The HG-56 offers minor cut resistance suitable for incidental contact with edges during general handling. For tasks involving deliberate cutting, sharp blades, or significant laceration hazards, choose gloves with higher cut resistance ratings designed specifically for those applications.

Q: Will these gloves work for electrical component handling?
A: The dexterity and tactile sensitivity of the HG-56 make them suitable for handling electrical components where finger control matters. However, these are not electrically insulated gloves and should not be used for protection against electrical shock or arc flash hazards.

Q: What size options are currently available?
A: The HG-56 is available in size XL (10). Contact our sales team for information about additional sizes or bulk orders requiring multiple size ranges for your workforce.
