KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, a leading supplier of Safety and Personal Protective Equipment products, has extended its glove offering with the launch of an innovative new nitrile glove. The glove is so thin it gives maximum touch sensitivity and because it’s latex-free it can reduce the potential latex related allergy problems.
KLEENGUARD* G10 Arctic Blue Nitrile Gloves are only 0.05 millimeters thick and mould to the shape of the wearer’s hand offering excellent tactile sensitivity and comfort. They have been certified and approved for food contact* but can also be used for users working in manufacturing applications including small parts handling, industrial assembly work, electronics and precision assembly, plus a range of applications in the care and public service.
Marc Southon, Category Manager of KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* Safety Business, says: “We believe that customers will be really positive about this addition to our glove category as initial feedback has revealed that the glove feels like a second skin! We’re also delighted that we can offer our customers a Nitrile glove at a price that is lower than a latex glove but offers the same if not better performance.”
“This glove has all the benefits of a latex glove but without the risk of reaction,” says Marc Southon. “It’s perfect for all traditional users of thin film gloves; latex, neoprene, nitrile and vinyl.”
With the gloves being so thin, twice as many can be fitted into the same size box. There are 200 gloves per box, which offers the users the added benefit of increased storage space and reduced packaging waste. Additionally, textured fingertips give the glove an improved grip, while beaded cuffs add strength to make them easier to put on.
KLEENGUARD* G10 Arctic Blue Gloves are available in the UK and across Europe, Marc Southon concludes. “By listening to our customers we’ve developed and designed an innovative product that is a real step forward in quality, safety and comfort.”
KLEENGUARD* G10 Arctic Blue Gloves can be ordered using product codes 90095-90099 via KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* distributors.
