Hey deli-wear ,could you recommend a right glove for my facility workers ? We had heared hundreds of questions like this ,since we had more than 10 years in this industry, but did you really understand which threats your workers faced ? one basic glove may not enough, as there are several types of hand injuries in site working , like burn, bleeding,knock injury, frostbite, for example, the freezer workers in a cold storage facility requires cold protection to protect their hands from extremely low temperature, Yet, workers also need sufficient grip to lift warehouse boxes and drive the forklift, without the box slipping or falling, then a multi purpose gloves will be workable .
 
A automobile mechanic in an auto repair shop, they may need to fix and handle oily parts ,the glove should oil resistant ,In the meantime what can't be ignored is that the workers had to wear it 8 working hours long ,so the glove should performance high level of comfort ,flexible and support for 8 hours long time wear, breathability, and features to reduce hand fatigue.
 
Therefore we need to find a multi purpose glove,but not all gloves are created equal,  when you are deciding on a glove for your specific task, it is important to take into consideration what most hazards you face and choose accordingly.
Our deli wear team would like to give you PPE assessment before you order our safety work glove, that will help identify opportunities to improve your worker safety and productivity, and can help identify best practices.
 
Here we listed most common glove materials on market , and how they performance ,hope it can help you to choose the next pair of gloves for workers.
 
Cotton cut& sewn gloves/String knit: Those gloves material provides very basic and minimal level of protection. It just keep users hands clean while working in a garden/yard or agriculture) protect from mild abrasions, these will not offer enough protection against cuts from sharp and rough objects, but they are great items for liner gloves ,as they are stretchable ,breathable ,light warmth to be insulator gloves .
 
Coated gloves: it could be nitrile coated glove,Rubber/Latex coated glove ,PU/Polyurethane coated glove, PVC/Silicone coated glove,
 
Nitrile coated glove: most popular all over the world and is perfectly suited for many industries including metal fabrication, assembly, and automotive factories, it has an extremely high abrasion resistance and oil resistant,. the weakness that  it doesn’t have the best grip in wet and oily conditions, so we normally suggest our client to pint the nitrile dots on for enhance the grip .
 
PU/Polyurethane coated glove, one of the most common glove coatings on the market ,because of its economic value, it maintain dexterity, Polyurethane coated perfect for industries such as inspection, agriculture fruit picking, detailed assembly ,it supply extreme comfort, superb grip in dry working conditions, and its lightweight flexibility, but they had weakness as well , the low level of puncture resistance and it does not have good grip ability in wet or oily environments. 
 
Rubber/Latex coated glove ,it works really well for some industries that require high levels of grip and durability, including construction, masonry, and landscaping, low temperature cold store warehouse, the latex coated glove are soft and flexible, which translates to comfort and dexterity and it also offers great grip in dry conditions, even if they are worked in -20 degress cold store, The weaknesses are not heat sensitive, not oil resistant, it has low levels of abrasion resistance.
  
Leather glove/Leather palm glove: the gloves are always made of Animal leather, this glove material is not recommended for use in protecting against cuts or punctures, because just like human skin, it cannot withstand those hazards.but Leather gloves are suitable for apply in welding, BBQ, Cold storage because have moderate heat, spark resistant and cold resistant as well .
 
PVC coated glove/Silicone coated glove: those gloves widely used for industries like wood working, furniture making, warehouse, picking and receiving etc,  as it has great levels of abrasion resistance, and does very well in cold weatherthe silicone coated glove will be first choice when it come to cold resistant or heat resistant , we normally print silicone onto BBQ gloves because of it high heat isolation and no melt , meanwhile the silicone had been apply onto ragg wool gloves as well , as silicone grip performs better in cold – without cracking or getting slick, what's more the silicone is food grade by FDA, it will not pollute foods when the freezers wear the silicone glove work in a frozen food picking line , or frozen meat plant etc.
