Get a grip! Coated work gloves are worn in work environments where you need lightweight cut and abrasion resistance as well as a solid grip. But for some applications and tasks, certain coating materials aren’t as effective as others. Oil and other liquids can soak through thinner palm coatings and weaken your grip. Tougher, thicker coatings can withstand oil, but they can make it difficult to handle small parts.
Depending on your work environment and the materials you need to handle, the right glove coating can help improve your productivity and account for unique conditions that can diminish your grip.
In addition to developing lighter and more durable work gloves to pair with these palm coatings, Magid has engineered innovative palm coating technologies that can enhance your work performance even further!
Let’s say you work with oily and abrasive parts. Not only can your gloves lose their grip when they’re saturated with oil, but over time, the abrasive materials can wear down the coating. Double-dipped gloves can give you extra palm durability for these abrasions, but they can come at the cost of tactile sensitivity and dexterity. To address these pain points, Magid has created an all-in-one solution: The TriTek Palm.
TriTek is a lightweight, dual-layer palm coating that gives you amazing oil grip to pick up small, oily parts without removing your gloves! TriTek’s outer layer absorbs oil while a nitrile base layer deflects it, helping you maintain your grip and keep your hands dry. Even with this grip and oil resistance, you can still get flexible dexterity with the tactile sensitivity of a polyurethane coated glove with better abrasion resistance than foam or sandy nitrile.
If you operate in different environments working on separate tasks throughout the day, such as assembling small parts, followed by working with oily pipes, and then handling rough materials, these different tasks might mean using different gloves to help you get the best work performance. In these circumstances, an adaptable work glove coating on one pair of gloves can save you a lot of time and energy!
Magid’s VersaTek™ Adaptive Palm Coating is an intelligent grip that adapts to your work environment to amplify your grip ability whether you’re handling wet, dry, or oily parts. In addition to this adaptability, VersaTek provides enhanced dexterity that flexes with natural hand movements to give you precision handling of small parts. It also has 50% more abrasion resistance compared to other palm coatings. Together, VersaTek takes the guesswork out of finding the best glove and palm coating for the work environments you operate in!
