Black Nitrile Diamond Grip Disposable Gloves - Mechanics and Industrial

Who is this for

These gloves are used by mechanics, automotive technicians, industrial assembly operatives, and workshop maintenance staff who need maximum thickness single-use hand protection for the most demanding oily, greasy, and abrasive tasks. At 8.6mil they are the heavier option in the diamond grip range, suited to tasks where 6mil disposables tear prematurely or where sustained tool use and component handling require a thicker barrier. The fitted hand construction makes them equally suitable for precision assembly work where tactile sensitivity matters alongside barrier protection.

Typical applications

• Automotive servicing and vehicle maintenance tasks including oil changes, brake work, gearbox work, and component assembly where sustained contact with oils, greases, and brake fluid is unavoidable.

• Heavy industrial assembly and parts handling where a thicker barrier is required to withstand the mechanical stress of sustained tool use and component contact.

• Mechanical workshop tasks where a heavy duty single-use glove is preferred over a reusable glove for hygiene and contamination control between jobs.

• Engineering and fabrication tasks where a fitted, tactile disposable glove supports precision work alongside barrier protection.

• Janitorial and cleaning tasks involving chemical splash and biological contaminants where a heavy duty single-use barrier is required.

• Construction site welfare and short-duration maintenance tasks where the extra thickness provides more reliable protection than a standard disposable.

How to use

Step 1: Select the correct size. Size 9 fits Large hands, size 10 fits X-Large hands. The fitted hand construction seats more closely than an ambidextrous-only glove, correct sizing is important for maintaining tactile sensitivity.

Step 2: The polymer coating on the interior allows the glove to slide on easily. Pull fully over the hand ensuring all fingers are fully seated before beginning work.

Step 3: Inspect the glove surface before use. Do not use a glove with visible tears, punctures, or thinning at the fingertips.

Step 4: Dispose of after each use or when the glove is visibly contaminated, torn, or has lost barrier integrity. Do not wash or reuse.

Common mistakes

• Selecting the wrong size: The fitted hand construction means sizing is more critical than with a purely ambidextrous glove. An oversized glove reduces tactile sensitivity and grip precision. An undersized glove stresses the nitrile at the knuckles and reduces service life.

• Reusing after visible contamination: These are single-use disposable gloves. A glove visibly contaminated with oil, grease, or chemical must be discarded and replaced rather than wiped clean and reused.

• Using for cut-hazard tasks: These gloves are not cut-resistant rated. Do not use for tasks involving sharp blades, sheet metal edges, or rebar where a rated cut-resistant glove is required.

• Storing in direct sunlight or heat: Nitrile degrades when stored in direct UV or heat. Store boxes in a cool, dry location away from sunlight to maintain glove integrity before use.

Safety

These gloves are CE marked under notified body 2777, manufactured in accordance with the UK PPE Regulation 2016/425. They are not cut-resistant rated and must not be used for tasks where cut protection is required. They are not rated for needle-stick or sharps protection. Food safety approval has not been confirmed for this colour variant. Do not use in food contact environments until food approval status is confirmed.

Maintenance

These are single-use disposable gloves and must not be washed, dried, or reused. Dispose of each glove after use in accordance with the waste regulations applicable to the contamination type. For gloves contaminated with automotive fluids or industrial chemicals, dispose in accordance with your site's hazardous waste procedures. Store unused boxes in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and solvents.
