Gloves

Work gloves for trades, construction and industry

Hands face many stresses on the job. Depending on the activity, mechanical strain, dirt, or handling tools and materials can all be factors.

Work gloves can help protect hands in appropriate applications while allowing comfortable work. In trades, construction and industry, choosing a glove that matches the task and required protection level is important.

Work gloves for warehousing and logistics

In warehousing, logistics and transport, goods and packages are moved, sorted and picked daily. Good grip and sufficient freedom of movement can be decisive.

Depending on the model, coated work gloves offer a grippy surface and support safe handling of various materials. At the same time, the glove should fit comfortably and allow sufficient finger mobility for the task.

Coated work gloves for improved grip

Coated work gloves are available for many professional applications. Properties and suitable uses vary by model, material and coating.

Korntex carries, among other options, nitrile‑coated work gloves and other versions for different tasks. The combination of base material and coating can support a good grip while maintaining necessary hand mobility.

Which coated glove is the right choice should be decided based on the intended use and the product’s properties.

Nitrile disposable gloves for professional use

Nitrile disposable gloves are suitable for many tasks that require a flexible single-use glove. They are used across commercial and professional sectors and are especially practical when gloves need to be changed frequently.

Disposable nitrile gloves offer good finger dexterity for precise work. Products vary by material thickness, surface finish, fit and other properties.

When selecting nitrile gloves, always check which applications the product is intended for and to which standards it has been tested.

Nitrile gloves or coated work gloves?

The term nitrile glove can cover different glove types. It’s important to distinguish between nitrile disposable gloves and reusable work gloves with a nitrile coating.

Nitrile disposable gloves are thin single‑use gloves that are discarded after use. Nitrile‑coated work gloves, by contrast, have a base material partially or fully coated with nitrile and are intended for other applications.

Which option is suitable depends on the task and the required product properties.

Choosing the right work gloves

Several factors matter when choosing work gloves: the type of task, required grip, fit, material, comfort and the level of protection needed.

A glove for light tasks in warehousing may require different features than a protective glove for heavier work. Nitrile disposable gloves serve different purposes than coated work gloves.

For safety‑critical applications, always consider the stated standards, performance levels, certifications and product information.

Protective gloves as personal protective equipment

Protective gloves can be part of personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the product and intended use. A glove’s required properties depend on the hazards it must protect against.

Not every glove provides the same level of protection. Companies should determine required properties and protective performance based on the specific task and a risk assessment.

Product information for Korntex gloves details their properties, applicable standards and certifications.

Combine gloves with other work gear

For a professional setup, work gloves can be combined with other Korntex products. Depending on the workplace and task, helmets, hi‑vis clothing or other personal protective equipment may be required.

For areas that require increased visibility, Korntex offers suitable safety vests.
