How To Choose The Right General Purpose Gloves?
When looking for a reliable supplier for general purpose gloves, here are some key questions you might consider asking:
Chapter 1
What are general purpose gloves?
General purpose gloves are designed for a wide range of activities that require moderate hand protection without the need for specialized gear. They offer a balance of dexterity, comfort, and safety, making them suitable for a variety of tasks.
General purpose gloves provide adequate protection against minor physical hazards, such as dirt, abrasion, and cuts, while offering enough flexibility for everyday tasks.
Features and Benefits of General Purpose Gloves
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Made from materials like nitrile, latex, or vinyl | Long-lasting wear and tear resistance |
| Grip | Coated with nitrile, latex, or polyurethane | Improved handling in wet or dry conditions |
| Flexibility | Designed for flexibility and comfort | Allows for precise movements and tasks |
| Comfort | Lightweight and breathable | Ensures comfort during prolonged use |
General purpose gloves are commonly used across industries like warehousing, light assembly, gardening, and cleaning. Whether handling boxes or performing light maintenance, these gloves help prevent injuries from minor hazards while still offering full hand mobility.
Chapter 2
When do you need general purpose gloves in different industries?
General purpose gloves are a staple across many industries, offering versatile protection for workers in various settings. Let’s take a deeper look into when and why these gloves are most useful.
You need general purpose gloves when you require protection from minor hazards, but still need to maintain dexterity for a range of tasks.
Key Uses by Industry
| Industry | Tasks | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | Assembly, maintenance, handling tools | Moderate protection against cuts, abrasion, and dirt |

| Agriculture | Planting, harvesting, handling tools | Flexibility for intricate tasks and protection from dirt and small cuts |
Manufacturing
Workers in manufacturing environments handle machinery, tools, and raw materials. General purpose gloves protect hands from abrasions, minor cuts, and dirt while allowing for sufficient dexterity for assembly tasks. Gloves made with nitrile or latex coatings are ideal for these environments because they also offer resistance to oils or chemicals in certain settings.
Construction
Construction workers are exposed to more substantial physical hazards. However, general purpose gloves remain essential in tasks such as handling construction materials or using tools. Gloves with added grip, such as latex or nitrile coatings, help workers maintain control over their tools and materials, reducing the risk of drops and accidents.
Warehousing
In warehousing and logistics, employees frequently perform repetitive tasks, including lifting, sorting, and packing goods. General purpose gloves with lightweight coatings (like PU) ensure comfort while providing protection from minor abrasions or splinters from boxes and materials.
Agriculture
Farmers and gardeners work in dirty, often damp conditions. General purpose gloves designed with flexible materials, such as nitrile, offer protection against soil, water, and the occasional thorn or branch. These gloves also provide necessary dexterity for precise tasks like planting seeds or pruning plants.
Food Service
For handling food safely and preventing contamination.
Chapter 3
How many types of general purpose gloves?
The right general purpose glove depends on the specific tasks it is needed for. Various materials and coatings make each glove type suited to a particular function.
General purpose gloves are available in several types, each designed to meet different work requirements, from simple handling to light-duty industrial tasks.
Types of General Purpose Gloves
| Type | Material | Coating | Features | Applications |

Polyurethane-coated gloves are light and provide excellent dexterity. They are commonly used in industries such as electronics, assembly lines, and packaging, where fine motor skills and precision are essential.
Leather Gloves
Leather gloves are highly durable and resistant to abrasions, cuts, and punctures. They are often used in construction, landscaping, or heavy-duty tasks that require maximum protection from rough or sharp objects.
Chapter 4
How to choose the right general purpose gloves?
Choosing the right general purpose gloves depends on the specific tasks you’ll be performing and the level of protection needed. Consider the following factors:
- Material: Choose a material based on comfort, flexibility, and the specific hazards (e.g., nitrile for chemical resistance, latex for flexibility).
- Coating: Coated gloves (e.g., nitrile or polyurethane) provide added protection against oils, water, and abrasion.
- Fit: Gloves should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for free movement and dexterity.
Table: Choosing the Right Material for Your Needs
| Material | Use | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Latex | Light assembly, healthcare, cleaning | Flexible, comfortable |
| Nitrile | Automotive, chemical handling, cleaning | Chemical resistant, durable |
| Polyurethane | Assembly, electronics | Lightweight, precise handling |
| Vinyl | Food handling, light cleaning | Cost-effective, disposable |
Chapter 5
Are general purpose gloves waterproof?
Not all general purpose gloves are waterproof. However, some gloves, especially those with nitrile or latex coatings, offer water resistance, making them suitable for tasks where moisture is present.
- Nitrile-coated gloves are typically water-resistant and suitable for handling wet objects.
- Vinyl gloves can also offer some water resistance but may not be as durable in wet conditions.
For tasks involving heavy exposure to water, look for gloves specifically designed to be waterproof.
Chapter 6
How can I ensure a good fit for general purpose gloves?
To ensure a good fit for general purpose gloves, you should:
- Measure your hand size: Check the glove size chart to find your size.
- Consider glove style: Opt for form-fitting styles like nitrile or latex for better dexterity. Loose gloves may interfere with work and comfort.
- Test fit: Always try gloves on before use to ensure they are snug, but not too tight. A comfortable fit is essential for both protection and flexibility.
Chapter 7
What are the standards for general purpose gloves？
Safety standards ensure that gloves provide adequate protection. Let’s examine the detailed grading systems used in the EU and the USA.
General purpose gloves must meet strict standards in both the EU and the USA to ensure they provide sufficient protection against mechanical and environmental hazards.
Certification Standards
EU: EN 388 (2016)
EN 388 is the European standard that evaluates gloves for mechanical risks, such as abrasion, cuts, tears, and punctures. Gloves are tested under standardized conditions, and the results are rated using a four-digit system:
| Test | Rating Scale | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion | 1-4 | Tests glove’s resistance to abrasion (1=low, 4=high) |
| Cut | A-F | Tests glove’s cut resistance (A=low, F=high) |
| Tear | 1-4 | Tests glove’s resistance to tearing (1=low, 4=high) |
| Puncture | 1-4 | Tests glove’s resistance to punctures (1=low, 4=high) |
Example: A glove rated 4X42B means:
- 4: High resistance to abrasion.
- X: No puncture test conducted.
- 4: High resistance to cuts.
- B: Moderate resistance to tearing.
USA: ANSI/ISEA 105 (2016)
ANSI/ISEA 105 is the standard used in the USA to assess gloves for cut resistance, puncture resistance, and other mechanical properties. The cut resistance is rated using the A scale, from A1 (lowest) to A9 (highest).
| Test | Rating Scale | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Cut Resistance | A1-A9 | Rates gloves on their ability to resist cutting (A1=low, A9=high) |
| Puncture Resistance | 1-4 | Rates glove’s ability to resist punctures (1=low, 4=high) |
| Impact Protection | Yes/No | Indicates if the glove provides impact protection (Yes/No) |
| Chemical Resistance | Yes/No | Indicates if the glove provides protection against chemicals (Yes/No) |
Summary of Standards Comparison
| Test | EU Standard EN 388 | USA Standard ANSI/ISEA 105 |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion | 1-4 | A1-A9 |
| Cut Resistance | A-F | A1-A9 |
| Tear Resistance | 1-4 | 1-4 |
| Puncture Resistance | 1-4 | 1-4 |
