Microfibre is synthetic fabric with very small fibres or threads. The diameter of microfibre is about 20 times smaller than a human hair. The most common types of microfibres are made from polyesters, polyamides or a combination of polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene. The shape, size and combinations of synthetic fibres are selected for specific characteristics, including softness, toughness, absorption, water repellency, electrostatics, and filtering. Features: Breathable fabric; Retains original shape; Comfort is similar to natural fibres and soft; High performance moisture wicking ability; Enhanced durability; Lightweight; Easily maintained and cleaned.
Natural cellulose fibre. Flexible, soft and non-irritating, it protects against mechanical aggression (impacts, low vibration, iron filings, splinters, glass fragments), absorbs perspiration and gives you great comfort when wearing dipped protective gloves continuously. Cotton fibres are mixed with polyester fibres in order to associate comfort with a higher mechanical resistance and more elasticity. Nylon: A lightweight elastic polyamide which is largely lint-free and washable, dries quickly and is resistant to abrasion and deformation. Mixed with cotton and acrylic, it makes the glove more flexible and extends its lifetime.
A number of important requirements are specified to maintain biological safety of the glove for the medical practitioner as well as the patient. “LATEX” pictogram on packaging for natural latex rubber gloves is mandatory. No terms suggesting relative safety of usage are permitted i.e. low allergenicity, hypoallergenicity or low protein content. Powder residue, which is seen as unwanted contaminant on medical gloves, must not exceed 2mg per glove with “powder-free” claim. Water extractable latex protein content in latex gloves must not exceed 50 microgram per gram of rubber to minimize latex exposure that can cause allergic reactions. The level of endotoxins generated by bacteria on sterile gloves that claim “low endotoxin level” may not exceed 20 EU per glove pair (EU=Endotoxin Units).
How It Works: EBT materials added to nitrile during production. Gloves are disposed of by consumers. Gloves are transferred into biologically active landfills. Microorganisms break down the EBT materials, to decompose within 1–5 years. Organic soil and biogas is left in its place. Join SHOWA and find your EBT glove below. Make the difference today. DURACoil: Since the revision of the PPE regulations in 2016, a market-wide downgrade in EN 388 and ANSI 105 cut level scores for re-certified products led to general purpose gloves for medium-low risks decreased from cut level 5-C/A3 to 5-B/A2 and under. At SHOWA, we believe in value for money, safety and comfort. Research shows that many workers use general purpose gloves with low cut resistance levels – the former EN 388 and ANSI cut 5 being B/ A2. Risks of injuries increase and worker’s safety is jeopardised.
Hand protection is designed to guard against a wide range of hazards, including: cuts and abrasions, extreme temperatures, skin irritation and dermatitis, and contact with oil & chemical substances. Gloves designed for protection against chemicals must comply with the standard EN374, other standards which give markings for different types of protection includes EN388, EN407, EN511, etc. The gloves must pass the air leak and/or water leak test, and meet the defined AQL inspection level. In an air leak test the interior of glove is pressurized with air and the surface is checked for holes. In a water leak test the glove is filled with water, and checked for the appearance of water droplets on the outside surface after a defined time period.
