Rubber work gloves

Rubber work gloves find applications in refining, mining, painting industry, construction, oil and gas industry, fishing industry, refrigerated areas, agriculture, material handling, and other general work where the hands need protection.

Before putting the rubber work gloves to use, the "Glove Chemical Chart" pertaining to the glove should be studied to understand the acceptable chemical resistance. This chart would normally have "Degradation Ratings" with markings such as E, G, F, P and Nr. An E rating would mean excellent and the Nr rating cautions that the glove is "Not recommended" for the particular chemical. G, F and P stand for good: minor degrading effect; fair: moderate degrading effect; poor: pronounced degrading effect, respectively.

Another important factor in choosing the rubber work gloves is the thickness of the gloves, measured in "mil."  The mil factor ranges from 5 (disposable work gloves) to 28 (heavy-duty work gloves).  Higher the mil factor, better the protection. The length of rubber work gloves is usually around 12 to 13 inches, and provides protection to the upper arms.

Rubber work gloves are mostly created from rough-textured natural rubber for better gripping and greater cut resistance properties. The heavy-duty outer coating results in resistance to puncture and abrasion.  Besides, it also provides a high level of resistance to a broad range of oils, greases, chemicals and solvents. For gloves to be worn in food processing applications, only FDA accepted materials are used.

OnlyWorkGloves.com takes into consideration all of the above critical factors and offers you a carefully chosen selection of rubber work gloves in a variety sizes and colors, for different applications. Many of our rubber work gloves are liquid-proof and are specially created for firm grip in wet environments. These gloves are also designed, cut, and crafted to form-fit patterns to ensure maximum dexterity and slip resistance.
