GLOVE COATINGS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Different coatings mean different grips. This mini Grip Guide will help you select the right type of coating for your application.
Industrial gloves are typically made with a liner dipped in a coating to help enhance grip in a variety of applications. From coatings that provide oil resistance to dry grip, the choices are many. This coating guide will help you understand and select the right type of coated gloves for your workplace by clarifying the differences.

NITRILE
Nitrile is a flexible and versatile material that has many different finishes; this offers great grips in a variety of applications from oily surfaces to wet surfaces. Nitrile offers protection from punctures, abrasions, and chemicals. Additionally, due to the thermal properties of Nitrile, it can offer heat resistance; however, nitrile can become stiff and retain lower temperatures in colder settings.

Pros

Available in a variety of finishes
Can offer heat resistance
Abrasion resistance
Chemical resistance

Cons

Not ideal in cold temperatures
Certain finishes are not breathable
Certain finishes are not liquid proof

MICROFOAM NITRILE
Microfoam nitrile is made from blowing tiny bubbles in nitrile while the glove is being dipped. This is a coating that has micro holes in it which offers great grip in dry, wet and oily environments. Microfoam is soft and flexible, as well as resistant to abrasions, cuts, tears, and punctures.

Pros

Great grip in oily and wet applications
Abrasion resistance
Heat Resistance
Breathable coating

Cons

Not liquid proof
Not ideal in cold temperatures
Coating can shed

SMOOTH NITRILE
Smooth nitrile is a solid coating that offers liquid repellence, and it provides excellent dry grip performance. It features a water and oil proof coating, abrasion resistance, along with a high-level of durability.

Pros

Great oil grip
Liquid repellent
Heat resistance
Abrasion resistance
Chemical resistance

Cons

Not ideal in cold temperatures
Not a breathable coating

POLYURETHANE
Polyurethane (PU) is a breathable coating that offers high tactile sensitivity, great dexterity, and low particulate shed. Ideal for non- oily and wet applications as the material is permeable but excellent in applications that need tactile sensitivity such as handling small parts. It is not recommended for use with high temperatures, and it has limited chemical resistance.
