Alternatives to leather
04 June 2015
In light of current supply and demand issues in the leather market, while Arco has reassured customers that the supply of leather gloves in its range remains unaffected it is also providing guidance on available alternatives to leather where these may be more appropriate.
New and increasingly sophisticated synthetic glove technologies offers improved and more consistent levels of comfort, dexterity, sensitivity, grip and tactility in comparison to natural materials such as leather.
Arco is committed to helping keep people safe at work and has produced a ‘Leather Glove Alternatives’ leaflet that outlines a number of synthetic glove alternatives for workers in driving, welding and rigging roles that meet or exceed standards offered by leather solutions.
