Glove Terms and Definitions
Glove Terms and Definitions:
| FFDCA |
Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act |
| USDA |
United States Department of Agriculture |
| Coated Gloves |
A cloth glove which has been dipped into molten
coating material. |
| Unsupported Gloves |
A ceramic form is dipped into molten
material, dried and peeled off the form. |
| Jersey Lined |
The inner glove is of brushed
cotton. |
| Flock Lined |
The
inside of an unsupported glove is dusted with fine cotton fibers for moisture absorption
and easy on-off. |
| Impregnated |
Latex, Nitrile, PVC, Rubber and/or Vinyl,
is coated and also actually absorbed into and penetrates the
textile. Impregnated gloves are not liquid resistant. |
| Kevlar® |
Kevlar® is renowned for its strength and protection ability.
It is five times stronger then steel pound for pound and is used for protection and stitching glove seams |
| Thinsulate™ |
Thinsulate™ is a
micro- fiber fabric developed by 3M that provides insulation from hot or cold temperatures.
While maintaining the temperature of your hand in the glove, Thinsulate™ also allows moisture to escape from your hand to keep you dry. |
| Easy-I.D.™ |
Color coded fabric tag sewn in
the side hem of the glove to provide easy size identification. |
| N-Dex® |
Exclusive patented, low-modulus
formulation, non-latex gloves that produce superior levels of
tactile-sensitivity, comfort, dexterity and puncture resistance.
Useful in a wide variety of applications. |
Surface Finish Definitions:
| Smooth |
The inside glove is singed with
heat before dipping to remove the small imperfections which are natural on
knitted cloth. This results in a smooth surface on the finished glove. |
| Rough |
The inside glove is un-singed, so
that the finished surface has a rough appearance. |
| Embossed/Textured |
The
form used for dipping into the molten material has an embossed or textured
pattern, so that when the glove is turned right side out, the surface has
the desired pattern. |
Leather Definitions:
| Cuff |
Part of the glove that extends
beyond the palm, covering the wrist and part of the forearm. |
| Gauntlet |
A very long cuff that extends
over the forearm for added protection. |
| Grain |
The outside of the leather (side
that had the hair). Full grain has the original surface. |
| Gunn Cut |
A glove with seams at the base
of the fingers and between-finger seams on the back of the glove. |
| Split |
Thick pieces of leather are
split into two thinner pieces; the bottom piece is the split, which is
suede on both sides. The top piece has grain (top grain). |
| Welt |
Thin piece of leather sewn into
the seam to strengthen it. Most often used in the seam at the base
of the thumb and finger. |
