Impact Resistant Gloves

Impact Resistant Gloves

Anti Impact Gloves (also called metacarpal protective gloves) are beneficial in wide variety of work environments, as they protect wearer’s hands from crushing, pinching, cutting and puncture injuries. More than one in the workplace hand injuries are fractures caused by impact or crushing, which could be prevented or lessened in severity through the use of anti impact gloves.

Impact Resistant Gloves

The biggest misconception about anti impact gloves is that those featuring glued om rubber padding will hold up under the stresses of fieldwork. when choosing the best impact resistant gloves, it is critical to look for high-quality adhesion of rubber padding to the glove, as the impact resistant gloves use Kevlar thread in sewing and Kevlar fabric as lining for increasing anti cut resistance.

TPR (thermoplastic rubbers), are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) that consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. While most elastomers are thermosets, thermoplastics are in contrast relatively easy to use in manufacturing, for example, by injection molding. Thermoplastic elastomers show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The benefit of using thermoplastic elastomers is the ability to stretch to moderate elongations and return to its near original shape creating a longer life and better physical range than other materials.[1] The principal difference between thermoset elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers is the type of cross-linking bond in their structures. In fact, crosslinking is a critical structural factor which imparts high elastic properties.
