Work gloves mitt, which is better?
When you are faced with the need to buy work gloves, the range of gloves offered can scare you. What is the reason for this?
First of all, with the development of a large number of industries. Even in fully automated factories, workers are needed to control the process, to service machines, mechanisms, and for them work gloves and mittens are needed. What can we say about those enterprises where workers cannot be replaced by machines. Most often, these are gloves for protection against general industrial pollution. In the same places where most of the various production processes are carried out by people, the work gloves and gloves cannot be dispensed with. For example, gloves for builders mainly protect against abrasion, glazier gloves from various cuts with glass, and chemical-resistant gloves from burns and other reactions.
The most popular and widespread gloves and mittens workers today are gloves made of cotton fiber - hb gloves.
What are the benefits of gloves made by mittens made from cotton yarn.
First of all, this means that in such gloves hands sweat less, this is due to free air circulation due to the specifics of the yarn, as well as good absorption of moisture by cotton yarn.
Secondly, these gloves work gloves allow you to work with objects that have a high temperature. For example, bread, metal, glass, polymers. Synthetic (nylon) gloves melt when working with high temperatures and can cause harm to humans.
Thirdly, in thick cotton gloves the winter is warmer, they better keep your hands warm. Only gloves made of wool are warmer than cotton gloves.
Fourth, only cotton work gloves and mittens allow you to work with microcircuits, because cotton does not accumulate and does not create static stress and is a natural and cheapest antistatic.
On cotton gloves, gloves additionally apply PVC (plastisol - consists of polyvinyl chloride) coating.
What is pvc coating for?
Firstly, it is an additional protection against abrasions, minor punctures and cuts. Secondly, the pvc coating extends the service life of the knitted gloves themselves. Thirdly, pvc coating prevents slipping and thereby makes it possible to work with slippery objects.
For all types of precision work, it is best to use work gloves and mittens made of thin and durable yarn to achieve high sensitivity. In this regard, for accurate work, work gloves are used, gloves made on knitting machines using high classes of knitting - 13, 15, 17.
So that such gloves do not wear out so quickly, the addition of a polyester thread is possible. She, in turn, gives the gloves increased wear resistance. Certain types of precision work require gloves made entirely of polyester.
For other works, gloves with a lower knitting class are used - 7, 10.
I would also like to mention in this article about this type of work gloves gloves like gaiters.
The purpose of gaiters is to protect hands during welding, work with open fire, protection against metal splashes, sparks, and elevated temperatures. Gaiters can be - two-fingered, three-fingered and five-fingered. Two-fingered leggings today are made mainly from refractory tarpaulins and are mainly used for welding using an electrode. This type of gait is the cheapest and inconvenient. If we consider five-fingered gaiters, then they can be used for all other types of work, but their price is an order of magnitude higher than two-fingered.
Gaiters are made from a material such as split. Compared to tarpaulin, split has high heat resistance and wear resistance. Split leather gaiters are made using reinforced thread, which provides the necessary strength. All seams in high-quality gaiters should be protected with additional split leather inserts that cover the thread. Also, for the comfort of the work gloves, mittens in the form of split leather gaiters should have a cotton lining.
