For general usage
Light applications
Less intensive applications such as janitorial, light gardening,general household shores and other relevant applications which do not require chemical handlings or food contacts. The following gloves should fulfill demand nature of such applications
1

Thickness |
: |
0.35 mm (14 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Flocklined and Unlined |

: |
0.40 mm (14 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Flocklined and Unlined |
Heavy applications
For heavier, tougher applications such as construction, tools handling require more resilient gloves which offer higher degree of durability. The gloves should offer greater strength than that mentioned in the previous sector, thus the following gloves could be more suitable.
1
Glove Material |
: |
Latex |
||
Thickness |
: |
0.60 mm (24 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Flocklined and Unlined |
2
Glove Material |
: |
Latex |
||
Thickness |
: |
1.00 mm (40 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Flocklined |
||
Special feature |
: |
Extra-long cuff at 13 “ (330 mm) which allows down-folding to offer greater barrier to water flowing back into the glove interior |
For industrial applications
Due to the intense natures of industrial applications in relative to general usages, gloves with greater physical strength are often required specifically for the usages. In addition to strength, other features must also be taken into consideration to allocate the right glove for a desired application.
Heavy Industry
To handle more physically demanding nature of the applications, thicker gloves with more robust, resilient properties are often selected for heavy-duty industry such as construction.
Food Handling
Gloves intended to come into contact with food require food contact certification as stipulated by the relevant regulations as previously mentioned in the earlier section on industry standards. Furthermore, flocklined gloves are not recommended for food contact, making unlined and silverlined gloves the more appropriate choice. The following gloves have been selected and performs relatively well for food contact applications;
1

: |
Latex |
||
Thickness |
: |
0.28 mm (11 mil) or 0.33 mm (13 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Unlined |
||
Suitability |
: |
Physically less demanding tasks not intended for multiday reusing |

Latex |
||
Thickness |
: |
0.45 mm (18 mil) |
||
Glove lining |
: |
Silverlined |
||
