Latex Coated Gloves

Detailed Introduction

Latex coated gloves are a fantastic tool for their specific purpose—unbeatable wet grip. However, due to the allergy risk and durability concerns, nitrile coated gloves have become the more popular and versatile choice for most general industrial and DIY applications.

Advantages of Latex Coated Gloves

1. Superior Grip in Wet/Oily Conditions: This is their biggest advantage. The latex coating becomes even grippier when wet, making them ideal for handling wet tools, oily machinery, or fish.

2. Excellent Abrasion Resistance: The latex coating is very durable and protects the palms from wear and tear from rough materials like concrete blocks or sandpaper.

3. Good Dexterity and Comfort: The fabric backing makes them flexible and more comfortable than heavy leather gloves. They allow for a good range of motion.

4. Breathable (Palm-Coated Styles): The knit back allows air to circulate, reducing sweat and heat buildup compared to a full-coated or waterproof glove.

5. Machine Washable (Usually): They can be washed and reused multiple times, making them cost-effective.

Uses

These gloves are the workhorses of many industries and DIY projects due to their excellent grip. You'll find them in:

● Construction: General labor, handling lumber, bricks, and construction materials.

● Warehousing & Logistics: Loading/unloading, handling boxes, and moving inventory.

● Agriculture: Handling tools, plants, and various farm tasks.

● Automotive: Providing grip for light mechanical work and handling parts.

● DIY & Home Improvement: Any task requiring a secure grip and protection from abrasion—gardening, moving furniture, light workshop work.
