MECHANICAL <strong>PROTECTION</strong> GLOVES<br />

Knitted - Close fitting ensures good dexterity and improved productivity. Seamless construction avoids<br />

hand irritations due to seams.<br />

Sewn & impregnated - Available with several types of construction and assembly, mainly cut and sewn.<br />

Impregnation (synthetic material) tightly bound to the fabric for good resistance to abrasion. Sewing and<br />

impregnation process allows the manufacturing of thin gloves, for enhanced flexibility.<br />

Coated - Made by dipping a knitted or woven cloth liner into the glove compound - the liner “supports” the<br />

compound and adds strength.<br />

Dipping - The material used will determine the mechanical performance, as follows:<br />
