COATINGS

Natural Rubber Natural rubber latex is supple, robust and provides excellent dry and wet grip. It provides protection
Latex from aqueous cleaning detergents and good resistance to alcohols and ketones. It does contain natural
rubber proteins and users can become sensitised to them.

A synthetic rubber copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) is ideally
Nitrile (NBR) suited for handling oils, fuels and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Offers good mechanical durability, and has a
light contact heat resistance up to 100oC.

A nitrile foam coating makes control and movement more reliable. In greasy or oily environments the
Nitrile Foam
interaction between the glove coating and substance improves grip, even on smooth surfaces.

Micro-foam coating with excellent durability and aiding breathability for long-term comfort. The
Nitrile Sponge
micropore technology limits ingress of oils and greases, whilst enabling efficient grip.

An elastomer that is resistant to wear, abrasion, tearing as well as grease. Remains supple in cold
Polyurethane
conditions. Microporous, very elastic and adapts easily to all of the hand’s movements.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic resin and provides good protection from alkalis and acids. It is
PVC
known for its exceptional durability and commercial attractiveness.

Hydropellent Technology (HPT) coating. The HPT process creates a spongy, soft and durable coating that
HPT Foam
repels liquids to provide a firm wet or dry grip. Encapsulated air molecules provide an inherent vibration
absorption feature.

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerisation of chloroprene. It is valued for its high
Neoprene
tensile strength and suited for handling acids, caustics, oils, greases, alcohols, ketones, petroleum based
solvents and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Butyl A synthetic rubber polymer for heavy chemical protection. Butyl rubber provides excellent chemical
resistance from gases including nerve agents, amines, esters, ketones and acids. Extremely soft and
supple, offers good dexterity but limited mechanical durability.

Viton A synthetic rubber polymer for chemical protection. The main chemical classes that Viton provides
excellent protection against include halogenated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Viton also
protects from sulphur-based chemicals and amines.
