What are PU coated gloves?

With the growing demand for personal protective equipment in industry and manufacturing, PU (polyurethane) coated gloveshave gained popularity due to their superior performance. These gloves not only improve work safety but also provide effective hand protection in a wide range of work environments. Below, we describe in detail the key features of Pu Coated Gloves and their wide range of applications.

Main features
Anti-slip properties: PU coated gloves are specially designed for use on the palm and finger areas and are coated with a polyurethane material that provides excellent grip and anti-slip properties. This is particularly important for jobs that require precise control and manoeuvrability, such as electronics assembly, automotive manufacturing, etc.
ABRASION RESISTANCE: This type of glove has excellent abrasion resistance thanks to its high quality PU coating. This characteristic makes them ideal for use in industries such as logistics and handling, construction, etc., where gloves are subjected to frequent use and friction.
Anti-contamination: PU-coated gloves effectively prevent contaminants from adhering to their surfaces, keeping hands clean. This is especially important for industries that require high hygiene standards, such as food processing, medical, and other industries.
Acid and alkali resistance: PU material has excellent chemical stability, allowing the gloves to provide safety for the user when in contact with acids and alkalis. This is a key safety feature for workers engaged in chemical experiments or handling chemicals.
Sweat Absorbing and Breathable: The internal material has been designed with the wearer's comfort in mind, absorbing sweat and promoting air circulation to ensure that the hands remain dry and comfortable after long periods of wear.
Lightweight and flexible: By using lightweight materials such as carbon fibre, the PU-coated gloves ensure adequate protection without losing dexterity, making it easy to carry out delicate operations.
Fingerprint free: In work situations where no fingerprints are left behind, PU coated gloves are an ideal choice as they do not leave fingerprints on the contact surface, helping to maintain a clean working environment.
Areas of application
PU coated gloves are used in many applications because of their excellent anti-slip, wear-resistant, anti-pollution, acid and alkali resistant, sweat-absorbent and breathable, lightweight and flexible, and fingerprint-free properties, and are widely used in electronic assembly, automobile manufacturing, logistics handling, chemical industry and other fields.

Frequently asked questions and answers about PU coated gloves

Can PU coated gloves be reused?
Generally, PU coated gloves can be reused, but it depends on the use and wear of the gloves. If the gloves are not visibly torn or stained, they can continue to be used after being cleaned and sterilised.

How to wash and care for PU coated gloves?

When drying, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature baking, you can put the gloves in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally.

Are PU coated gloves allergic?
Although PU coated gloves themselves are relatively safe, for some people with sensitive skin, they may be allergic to certain components in the gloves. Before use, it is recommended to try on a small area to observe any allergic reaction.

Does the anti-slip property of PU coated gloves decrease with time of use?
The anti-slip properties of PU-coated gloves may deteriorate with time of use and more friction. However, if the gloves are lightly worn, the anti-slip properties can be restored to a certain extent after cleaning and maintenance.

Are PU coated gloves suitable for use in high temperature environments?
Generally speaking, PU coated gloves can be used normally within a certain temperature range, but they are not suitable for prolonged use in a high temperature environment. If the temperature of the working environment is too high, it may cause the PU coating of the gloves to melt or deform, affecting the performance and service life of the gloves.

How to choose the size of PU coated gloves?
When choosing glove size, it should be based on your hand size. Generally speaking, the size of gloves should be moderate, neither too tight to affect blood circulation, nor too loose to cause the gloves to fall off easily.

Can PU coated gloves prevent chemical corrosion?
Some PU-coated gloves have some resistance to acids and alkalis, but the ability to resist chemical corrosion varies from glove to glove. When coming into contact with chemicals, you should choose the right gloves according to the specific chemicals and working environment.

How breathable are PU coated gloves?
PU coated gloves have good breathability, which allows sweat and heat to be discharged from the hands in a timely manner, keeping the hands dry and comfortable. However, if the gloves are not the right size or worn for too long, the breathability of the gloves may be affected.

What is the purpose of the colour of PU coated gloves?
Generally speaking, white PU-coated gloves are easier to spot stains and tears, making it easier to replace and clean them in time. In addition, different coloured gloves can be used to differentiate between different work stations or work areas.

How long is the service life of PU coated gloves?
The service life of PU coated gloves depends on a variety of factors, such as the frequency of use, the working environment, and the quality of the gloves. Generally, PU coated gloves can be used for weeks or even months with normal use.
