Skytec Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Double Dipped Gloves - Oil Wet and Construction Grip

Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Double Dipped Gloves

The Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Double Dipped Gloves are built for construction operatives, maintenance engineers, and industrial workers handling wet, oily, and greasy materials where a palm-only coated glove leaves the back of the hand exposed. Double dipping applies a smooth nitrile base coat across the entire hand, followed by a sandy nitrile palm coat that delivers grip on rough construction materials and slippery oily components. Certified to both EN388:2016+A1:2018 and EN407:2020, this glove covers mechanical risk and contact heat protection in a single pair, making it a practical specification for mixed-task construction and industrial environments.

Why Choose the Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Double Dipped Gloves

• Double-dipped, fully coated construction: The first nitrile coat seals the entire hand surface against water, oils, and hydrocarbons. The second sandy nitrile coat adds grip texture to the palm and fingers. Most fully coated nitrile alternatives on the UK market use a single coat only, which provides less durability at the fingertip and palm seam junction.

• Oil and water submersion capable: The fully sealed nitrile coating protects hands during sustained oil and water submersion, not just incidental splash contact. For oil and gas maintenance, automotive, and wet construction tasks, this is a practical protection level that palm-only or single-coat gloves cannot provide.

• EN407:2020 contact heat protection level 1: Rated to withstand contact temperatures up to 100°C for up to 15 seconds. For construction operatives working near warm surfaces, pipework, or machinery, this provides a measurable safety margin that standard nitrile gloves do not carry.

• EN388 abrasion resistance level 4: At 8000 rub cycles, this is among the strongest abrasion ratings for a dexterity-focused fully coated nitrile glove. It reflects the durability of the double-dipped coating under sustained construction and industrial handling.

• 13-gauge seamless polyester liner: The close-fitting seamless construction maintains dexterity and finger sensitivity for precision handling alongside the full nitrile coating. The polyester liner resists stretching and shape loss under sustained heavy use.

• Elasticated knit wrist: The cuff seats securely at the wrist, preventing oil, water, and debris from entering the glove during immersed or ground-level handling tasks.

• Latex free throughout: Safe for operatives with latex sensitivity, with no compromise on grip performance or coating durability.

What's Included

Compatibility

Who Is This For?

The Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Double Dipped Gloves are designed for construction operatives, maintenance engineers, oil and gas workers, and automotive technicians who regularly handle wet, oily, or greasy materials where partial hand coverage is not adequate. They suit any operative whose hands are in sustained contact with water, oils, or hydrocarbons, and where a standard palm-coated glove leaves the back of the hand exposed to contamination.

Typical Applications

• Handling wet oily and greasy components in construction maintenance and repair tasks

• Masonry and brickwork in wet conditions where full hand coverage is required

• Oil and gas site maintenance involving hydrocarbon and lubricant contact

• Automotive servicing and mechanical maintenance in greasy environments

• Painting and finishing tasks where solvent and coating contact occurs

• Pipework installation and maintenance near warm surfaces up to 100°C

• General construction site handling in wet, muddy, or contaminated environments

How to Use

1. Select the correct size. A close fit ensures the double-dipped coating seats correctly around the fingers and maintains grip sensitivity.

2. Pull the glove fully over the hand and seat the elasticated knit wrist cuff firmly at the wrist.

3. Inspect the nitrile coating before each use. Replace when visible cracking, peeling, or thinning appears at the fingertips, palm, or back of hand.

4. Do not use near moving machinery where there is a risk of entanglement.

5. Do not use for sustained heat above 100°C, electrical hazard protection, or chemical immersion beyond hydrocarbons and oils.

!The way a glove fits is a crucial factor in the dexterity of the working hand. Please use the diagram below to identify your glove size. If the glove is too small, it cuts off the blood circulation and restricts the movement of the hand. 
On the contrary, too big gloves slip off at the slightest movement and make your handling very imprecise.

Safety

Certified to EN388:2016+A1:2018 (4121A) for mechanical risk and EN407:2020 (X1XXXX) for contact heat resistance. Contact heat protection is rated at level 1: up to 100°C for a maximum of 15 seconds. This is not a heat-handling glove for sustained high-temperature tasks. Not suitable for electrical hazards, chemical immersion beyond hydrocarbons and oils, or tasks near moving machinery with entanglement risk. Latex free throughout.

Maintenance

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Do not machine wash as laundering may alter the performance characteristics of the nitrile coating. Store in dry conditions away from direct sunlight and in original packaging where possible. Inspect the coating before each shift and replace when any damage, thinning, or coating separation is visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between double-dipped and single-dipped fully coated nitrile gloves?

 A: A single-dip coat applies one layer of nitrile across the hand. Double dipping applies two layers: a smooth base coat for full waterproof and oil coverage, followed by a sandy nitrile palm coat for grip texture. The result is a thicker, more durable coating at the palm and fingertips, with better grip on rough oily surfaces than a single smooth coat can provide.

Q: What does the EN407:2020 X1XXXX rating mean?

 A: EN407 is the UK and European standard for gloves giving protection from thermal hazards. The rating X1XXXX breaks down across six performance categories. The 1 in position B indicates contact heat resistance at level 1: the glove can withstand contact temperatures up to 100°C for a minimum of 15 seconds. The X values indicate those specific thermal tests were not conducted. This is not a heat-handling glove for sustained or repeated high-temperature contact above 100°C.

Q: What does the EN388:2016+A1:2018 4121A rating mean?

 A: EN388 covers mechanical risk protection. The 4121A rating breaks down as: abrasion level 4 (8000 cycles), blade cut level 1, tear level 2, puncture level 1, TDM cut level A. Abrasion level 4 is exceptionally strong for a fully coated dexterity glove and reflects the durability of the double-dipped nitrile coating under sustained construction and industrial handling.

Q: Are these gloves suitable for oil submersion?

 A: Yes. The double-dipped fully coated nitrile construction seals the entire hand surface against water, oils, and hydrocarbons including during submersion. This is confirmed in the product specification. For incidental oil contact only, a palm-coated alternative may be sufficient. For sustained oil immersion tasks, full coating is the correct construction.

Q: Are these gloves latex free?

 A: Yes. The nitrile coating and polyester liner contain no natural latex. These gloves are safe for operatives with confirmed or suspected latex sensitivity.

Q: What are these gloves not suitable for?

 A: These gloves are not suitable for sustained heat above 100°C, electrical hazard protection, chemical immersion beyond hydrocarbons and oils, or use near moving machinery where entanglement is a risk. For high cut-risk tasks involving blades or rebar, a cut-resistant rated glove is required.

Q: Can these be machine washed?

 A: No. Wipe clean with a damp cloth only. Machine washing can alter the performance characteristics of the nitrile coating and may compromise both the mechanical and thermal protection ratings.
