Synthetic
Industrial Gloves
There are advantages and disadvantages
to both synthetic and leather industrial
work gloves. There is no perfect material
but both of these choices provide advantages
to the wearer. Some of the benefits
of synthetic safety gloves
Flexibility – make excellent disposable
gloves for medical, laboratory, and
chemical environments.
Strength – whether you choose
Kevlar for cut resistance, Thinsulate
for protection against wind and cold,
or a combination of materials, synthetics
provide strong protection.
Weight – most synthetic industrial
work gloves are lighter than leather
counterparts, which can be very beneficial
over long work days.
Leather Industrial Gloves
Safety leather gloves also provide valuable
advantages to the user, including
Durability – while not necessarily
true with cheap work gloves, leather
is a very durable and long lasting material.
Breathability – unlike most synthetic
material, leather “breathes”
giving the wearer much more comfort,
while being substantially cooler in
hot conditions.
Allows effective “combinations”
– because of its malleability,
leather is a perfect outer shell that
can be securely attached to linings,
such as electrical safety gloves with
leather outer shells and natural rubber
linings.
As you can see, the strengths of one
material become the potential liabilities
of the other, but both are good choices.
Your personal preference for comfort
and safety reasons will be the deciding
factor since both designs are effective.
Cost differentials are not a major consideration
with the majority of choices of industrial
safety gloves made with either material. |
