What Palm Coated Glove is Right?
Knit work gloves provide protection to employees from hazards such as cuts, abrasions, punctures, and impacts. The materials such as steel or kevlar that make up these work gloves provide this protection. However, the knit materials do not provide the grip needed to safely execute work functions. An uncoated glove could compromise the grip or dexterity of the worker, or allow potentially hazardous materials to seep through to the hands. Additionally, if gloves are not providing the proper grip or protection, workers could decide to forgo hand protection completely. This is where glove dips and coatings come into play, by giving work gloves additional protection and upgraded performance.
