Nitrile Coating Benefits
Nitrile is a particularly hardwearing coating that excels in wet and damp conditions thanks to its ability to absorb and "suck up" moisture. This wicking process enhances grip strength and stability in the palm and fingertips, as slick substances are prevented from lingering and compromising your ability to firmly grasp material.
Latex-Free Design
Latex can cause skin irritation in individuals who do not even have an allergy. Delta Plus have designed their VE802 Gauntlet Gloves without latex to prevent issues with irritation, dermatological flare-ups and allergic reactions.
Materials Used to Make Delta Plus Chemical Safety Gloves
