Applicable Professions and Environments
Due to their inexpensive and durable nature, Towa OR657 Gloves have a wide range of professional uses. Please see below for a few suggested environments and professions:
PVC Coating Ideal for Grease or Glue
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a coating compound used to strength and bolster materials and fabrics. PVC is a flexible compound that stays incredibly pliable in low temperatures, making it an excellent choice for those working in colder temperatures. Due to its low adherence level, PVC is incredibly resistant to sticky substances, making it ideal for professionals working with and around glue, grease and oil.
How Does an Attachable Sleeve Work To Protect Your Hands?
A sleeve is a piece of fabric or material that extends away from the glove to protect the wrist and forearm area from hazards. If you work around potentially hazardous or dirty substances, protecting these areas from harm is just as important as protecting your hands. An attachable sleeve has a number of benefits over an extended cuff. It's removable nature means it can be washed separately away from the glove. It can also be removed if the sleeve is impeding your ability to perform the task at hand. Finally, the sleeves that come with your Towa OR657 Gloves are lightweight and airy for complete and non-intrusive protection.
