An adequate grip is a fundamental requirement in any work-related glove. The reason is simple: the higher and more precise the level of grip and control a glove provides, the greater the advantage it brings in terms of decrease in hand-related injuries, decreased cost, and increased productivity. For this reason, anti-slip gloves are an essential part of any toolkit for projects that involve a gripping surface. In addition, the gloves allow you to accomplish greater work with lesser effort without subjecting your hands to potentially hazardous objects.

Based on a study done by University of Waterloo researchers to investigate the factors that affect power grip force and effect, decrease in force output has been attributed to:

• Loss of tactile sensitivity
• Low glove flexibility
• Friction at the glove-surface interface
• Glove thickness
• Changes in hand geometry/posture

The success of activities such as gardening, sport, automobile assembly, mechanical maintenance, and construction largely depends on the manner in which you handle the equipment. Anti-slip gloves are a practical solution to the problem of elusive grip when working on slippery objects or surfaces.

Material:

There are a large number of industries where an excellent grip is vital. Materials such as vinyl, nylon, and synthetic leather help to improve the hand’s grip, even on slippery surfaces. While a nitrile-coated gloves will protect against most chemical substances, physical and other hazards, sponge nitrile-coated gloves are particularly suited for industries like aerospace, automotive, and assembly and precision engineering because they cope in both dry and wet conditions. Furthermore, most of the gloves come with the anti-slip pad incorporated onto the glove, while others are designed with a separate anti-slip pad that can be attached to the glove. Finally, some gloves are designed with a ribbed patterned fabric on the surface for added stability.

Features of anti-slip gloves:

Safety: Primarily, anti-slip gloves are responsible for enhancing grip, but they also protect the hands from injuries, blisters, bruises, and abrasions. With increased grip, your hands will not slip or suffer from continuous fatigue from being overworked. Good-quality anti-slip gloves are made from a breathable material that allows airflow to circulate in the glove to prevent heat build-up and excessive sweat accumulation. This prevents slipping and discomfort from excessive heat.

Flexibility and Durability: Anti-slip gloves are versatile in nature and are used in all kinds of work, some of which are mentioned earlier. For this reason, these gloves are made with hard-wearing material that can withstand extended wear and tear. In addition, these gloves are flexible to allow usage in multiple activities.

Comfort: These gloves are designed to be lightweight and comfortable. These gloves should fit snugly, like a second skin, and should be easy to wear and remove. They are often provided with a soft, warm layer to protect the hands from cold and absorb the impact and shock from sudden strong movements. They are also made to fit to allow for freedom in movement of the hand and fingers. There are many types available, including those with a half-finger anti-slip design.
