A new protective glove, the Showa 381 offers increased comfort as well as protection for workers carrying out a variety of tasks.
Whether its assembly work or the handling of oily components, the glove provides a high level of abrasion resistance (EN388 Level 4) and allows the necessary dexterity for intricate tasks to be completed with ease.
The glove is hard-wearing but also lightweight at the same time; the thickness of the palm is only 0.90mm which allows excellent levels of tactility and fingertip sensitivity.
To enhance comfort, the glove features a 0.52 denier SHOWA-engineered microfibre yarn within the lining to help remove perspiration from the surface of the hand.
The microporous nitrile palm coating allows the warm air and moisture from inside to permeate out. Together, this helps to keep hands dry and comfortable and aids productivity.
An embossed pattern to the nitrile foam palm channels oil and grease away, allowing the grip to be maintained even over long periods.
Microfibre fabric is commonly used by athletes as it has a high capacity to absorb sweat and water while avoiding irritation.
