GS10KLX peculiarities:

This knit glove is comfortable and ergonomic while providing a dependable grip on wet or on dry surfaces. This glove is an excellent glove for general purposes.

Kevlar properties:
Kevlar, a thermoplastic polymer related to aramids, is a low-density high-strength material which offers an excellent tensile strength, elongation and shear strength. This fabric doesn’t expand from temperature changes and fairly absorbs vibrations and shock. Kevlar doesn’t strain the hand and react chemically well to hydrocarbons.

Latex properties:
Natural rubber latex properties vary according to the additives dispersed slightly through the compounding. This fixed polymer structure delivers among other things its significant elasticity, its flexibility, its high tensile strength and its excellent barrier performance to viruses and blood borne pathogens. In comparison with its synthetic counterparts, latex offers a poor resistance to oil, fat and hydrocarbons, but resist well to a 10% concentration of nitric acid, a 36% concentration of hydrochloric acid and a 50% concentration of sulphuric acid.

Use for:
This glove is ideal for general purposes, but the manufacturer recommends it work in glass plants, the automotive industry, the construction field, material handling, masonry work and forestry.

Do not use for:
Kevlar is known to have a low resistance to UV light and moisture. Regarding the chemical resistance of latex, you should know that latex degrades quickly when in contact with most organic solvents and hydrocarbons. This glove cannot eliminate the risk of mechanical endangerment although it offers an excellent protection on this level. This glove is partially covered only, thus it not recommended immersing it completely since it won’t protect you. Natural rubber latex contains latex proteins, a known allergen. A simple contact with that protein can lead to a reaction or the development of a Type-I allergy, that is, a quick reaction sometime deadly. Symptoms may range from a simple skin irritation to a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.

Maintenance and service life:
It is recommended to carry out a basic maintenance to extend the service life of your gloves. Simply wash them with cold water, that is, 85°F/30°C, and a mild detergent. You can then dry them at low temperature in a dryer. Never use bleach on this glove.
