Which Professions and Environments do Polyco Armor Guards Suit?
Polyco Environmentally Friendly Thermal Gloves are perfect for a range of professions and environments. Please see below for a few examples:
Incredible Level E Cut Resistance Rating
A Level E cut resistance rating indicated a glove can withstand up to an incredible 22 newtons of downward pressure before showing signs of wear, tear or breakage. This excellent amount of sharp/blade contact can mean the difference between a blade or serrated edge tearing straight through your glove and skin and it being lodged tightly between cut-resistant fibres.
Touchscreen Functionality
As the world of work moves digital, you need to ensure your workwear keeps up. Polyco HyFlex include treated touchscreen compatible fingertips as standard, allowing the user to operate smartphones and tablets with ease. Whether you're ordering material from a wholesaler, taking a call from a client or scrolling through plans on the job, do it all without the hassle of removing your work gloves.
100°C Contact Heat Resistance
A level one contact heat rating is perfect for handling car parts like pipes and engines, where material doesn't exceed 100°C in temperature. Thin in design and lightweight in construction, Polyco The Bear Armor Guard Gloves are thick and bulky, making them perfect for handling thick heated material like pipes, equipment and weighty engine parts.
Incredibly Robust Nitrile Coating
Nitrile is a coating used all around the glove to coat gloves and other workwear garments. Nitrile is brilliant at repelling grease and moisture and is brilliant for cargo handling, shipping, builders and other professionals working with dirty and slippery material on a regular basis.
Waterproof Outer Layer
Any thermal glove worth its salt uses a waterproof membrane layer. Polyco The Bear Gloves are no different. Perfect for use in shipping, cargo handling, construction and building sites and yards, Polyco Thermal Gloves feature a robust and reliable nitrile coating that forces water and moisture to run off the surface before it can penetrate the fabric beneath.
Intuitive and Adjustable Velcro Cuff
An adjustable cuff allows the user to easily and quickly adjust the tightness of their glove. Perfect for use in fast-paced environments, you can now tailor your fit to meet the exact sizing requirements of your hand, instead of buying a new pair when yours don't quite fit.
Protect Your Environment and Your Hands
Each pair of Polyco The Bear Cut and Impact Resistant Thermal Gloves uses an intuitive blend of nitrile and recycled plastic bottles to protect your hands. Using 10gr of PET per glove, Polyco are cutting down their reliance on single use plastics and materials like oil based polyester.
Plastic-Free Packaging
In this day and age, an excessive amount of plastic packaging just isn't necessary. Polyco are committed to meeting their climate change goals and have opted for plastic-free packaging when shipping out their Armor Guard Bear Safety Gloves.
Why Does Sustainability Matter?
If sustainability is ignored, the long-term structure of supply chains that rely on all aspects of the natural world will pay the price, meaning price increases and poorly produced products. If addressed little-by-little, large change is made possible, which in turn results in cheaper and better quality products across the board.
