Ask anyone who wears disposable gloves for a full shift what they like least. Sweat comes up fast. Damp hands make a long shift in gloves a lot less pleasant.

Mechanix Wear is bringing its answer to HSM Live Scotland. The 6 Mil Sweat-Absorbing Nitrile Glove has a 100% cotton flocked lining that absorbs sweat and keeps hands cool and comfortable through extended wear.

The nitrile does the protecting. At 6 mil it is a heavy-duty glove, and the fully textured, micro-roughened surface gives more grip wet or dry. The beaded cuff adds tear resistance. The glove is ambidextrous, latex-free, powder-free and silicone-free.

It is Category III PPE, CE marked, and carries EN ISO 374-1 Type B for chemical protection, EN ISO 374-5 for virus and an EN 388 rating of 2000X. It is designed to protect against dirt, grease, oil and chemicals while keeping the dexterity that fine work needs.

There is an end-of-life story too. EcoTek Biodegradability Technology helps accelerate glove breakdown in landfills to 2.5 years.

Rebecca Parkin, director of sales, UK + Ireland, will be on site to demo this glove and other industrial products from the range. Put a pair on and judge the grip and dexterity for yourself. Take a free sample back to the people who will be wearing them on site. Bring us your glove questions a datasheet never answers.
