Heavy duty glove additions
16 June 2019
Unigloves has enhanced its PRO.TECT range of latex and nitrile disposable gloves, launching four new heavy duty (HD) products.

Joining the range of PRO.TECT silicone free gloves are PRO.TECT Green HD and HD+ and PRO.TECT Black HD and HD+, the HD+ being an extended cuff (300mm) version.
Designed for a wide range of industrial environments requiring protection against chemicals such as the automotive manufacturing, maintenance and repair, engineering, maintenance, pharmaceutical and laboratory work, the new disposable gloves are said to provide a range of wearer benefits including:
- Chemical resistance - against paints, oils, grease, brake fluids, thinners and Diesel, the PRO.TECT HD and HD+ have been independently tested for chemical permeation by SATRA and certified to EN 374
- Ultra-heavy duty construction – makes the gloves tough, durable and long lasting
- Textured palm and fingers - provides improved grip, particularly when working in wet or oily conditions
- Silicone free formulation means no finger marks on metal or glass surfaces
- Ambidextrous fit - you don’t have to split a pair to replace a damaged glove
- High wearer comfort – nitrile formulation conforms to the hand for close, natural fit allowing for greater flexibility and dexterity
- Beaded cuff – provides extra strength when putting the gloves on and prevents liquid roll back
- Meets AQL 1.5 – medical standard for pinholes
Unigloves says the latest additions are designed to be stronger and as a result offer even greater durability and lifespan compared to traditional gloves in the market. PRO.TECT HD and HD+ models join the existing PRO.TECT Orange HD, PRO.TECT Blue and PRO.TECT Black in addition to PRO.TECT Latex HD.
Available in a range of sizes from X Small to X Large, the new models are available in two lengths – 240mm or the longer, 300mm versions (HD+).
“The new Green and Black HD and HD+ gloves are a great addition to our increasingly popular PRO.TECT range. The added durability and chemical resistance not only enhances protection for workers but provides excellent cost-in-use benefits compared to traditional non-nitrile single use gloves on the market which tear easily,” says Donald Gillespie, marketing director of Unigloves.
As part of the launch of the enhanced PRO.TECT range, Unigloves is offering free HD and HD+ samples to enable companies to experience first hand, the benefits offered.
