To help identify which gloves in
the Marigold Industrial range
provide good grip in specific
environments the company, part of
Comasec International Group, has
created a set of Grip Icons.

The four icons that make up the
Glove Grip Performance Guide,
which is available free, are: Oily
Conditions, Dry Conditions,Wet
Conditions, Food Oil Environments.

Where a product from their range
has particularly good glove grip
performance in one of those
environments, based on the results of
a series of in-situ tests that have been
specially developed in their R&D
facility in Malaysia, the most relevant
Grip Icon will sit next to it in
promotional materials such as the
website and future product
catalogues.

Donald Gillespie of Comasec
International Group, says: “This test
system we have created is based on
creating a Coefficient of Friction
Value for a glove material in a
number of simulated environments
– dry, oil, wet etc, the results highlighting
how each glove’s grip
performs in a range of environments,
with the Grip Icons a simple way to
highlight good grip performance.”
