Work Gloves & Hand Protection - Reusable and Disposable

Anchortex Corporation carries a wide selection of hand protection solutions to meet a broad range of occupational requirements. Disposable gloves are made of neoprene, vinyl, nitrile rubber, latex, or polyurethane, and are available in powdered versions as well as powder-free versions required for medical or scientific cleanroom environments. Polyurethane gloves are used in the food service industry and have very low puncture resistance. Latex, nitrile, and vinyl gloves are commonly used for disposable chemical protective gloves, usually as part of industrial chemical processing, warehouse handling, or general worker safety procedures, and can be worn over an inner protector glove for greater protection. Latex, nitrile, vinyl, and neoprene gloves are also used for disposable medical gloves, used as examination gloves by doctors, physicians, tattoo artists, emergency medical technicians, law enforcement, firefighters, and others who perform medical examinations and procedures that might otherwise run the risk of contamination between caregivers and patients via bloodborne pathogens.

In addition to disposable gloves, we carry durable work gloves meant to protect against specific hazards or serve a particular role. For example, cut-resistant gloves are gloves designed to protect the wearer's hands from cuts while working with sharp tools such as kitchen knives. Household gloves are used for cleaning and washing dishes in domestic households, as well as having a variety of industrial applications; these reusable work gloves are made of latex, PVC, nitrile, or neoprene. Driving gloves are worn to give drivers increased control of a vehicle by providing enhanced grip of the steering wheel and gear stick. Chore gloves provide protection to the hands against abrasions and cuts while working. Welding gloves are specialized to provide protection against molten metal for welders.
