Skytec Multi-Purpose Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Glove - Waterproof Double Dipped Oil Grip

The Skytec Multi-Purpose Polyester Fully Coated Nitrile Glove is built for UK trade and industrial environments where oil, water and wet surfaces are constant hazards. A double-dipped nitrile coating covers the entire glove, including the back of the hand, creating a sealed barrier against water, oils, hydrocarbons and grease. Because there is no exposed liner fabric, contaminants cannot penetrate during submersion tasks, where palm-only-coated gloves are quickly compromised.

The sandy nitrile palm provides dependable grip on oily and greasy surfaces through mechanical friction rather than air-pocket structures that degrade with saturation. Additionally, the EN 407:2020 Level 1 contact heat rating to 100°C means operatives working near warm pipework or engine components do not need a separate thermal glove for incidental contact.

The 13-gauge seamless polyester liner and elasticated knit wrist support all-day comfort, reducing fatigue and the risk of gloves being removed mid-task. Tested to EN ISO 21420:2020, EN 388:2016+A1:2018 and EN 407:2020, CE CAT II certified under EU Regulation 2016/425.

✓ The double-dipped full nitrile coating eliminates the exposed liner fabric that makes palm-only coated gloves fail in submersion.

Two full layers of nitrile cover the entire glove, including the back of the hand, so water, oil and hydrocarbons cannot wick through the liner during immersion tasks such as submerged component handling, oily pipework maintenance and wet masonry work.

✓ The sandy nitrile palm generates mechanical friction and micro-suction on slippery surfaces throughout a full shift.

Unlike micro-foam coatings, which rely on air pockets that saturate with oil and lose grip performance over time, the abrasive sandy texture maintains control on oily, greasy and wet materials without degrading as exposure continues.

✓ The EN 407:2020 Level 1 contact heat rating covers warm surface handling without requiring a separate thermal glove.

Protection to 100°C for up to 15 seconds is sufficient for construction, automotive and oil & gas environments where operatives routinely contact warm pipework, engine components and recently processed materials as part of normal workflow.

✓ The 13-gauge seamless polyester liner removes the internal seam pressure points that cause hand fatigue during extended wear.

 The close-fitting construction maintains dexterity for precision assembly, finishing and component handling tasks without bunching, while the elasticated knit wrist seals against dust and debris without restricting movement.

✓ A single SKU covers mechanical, chemical and contact heat hazards across multiple trades, reducing procurement complexity.

 Rather than managing separate glove lines for oily conditions, abrasion resistance and thermal contact, procurement teams can specify one product across construction, maintenance, automotive and general-trade operatives.

Usage Guide: 

Before Use

Inspect the glove for holes, cracks, tears or colour changes before each use and discard any glove showing these defects. Select the correct size using the EN ISO 21420:2020 sizing chart: too small restricts circulation and dexterity, while too large provides inadequate protection and slips during handling. Wash hands before donning. Confirm the task is within scope, as this glove is not rated for sharp blade handling, live electrical work, open flame exposure or vibration-intensive applications.

During Use

Avoid use near moving machinery due to entanglement risk. Contact heat protection applies to brief incidental contact only, a maximum of 15 seconds at 100°C. The glove must not contact a naked flame. For chemical exposure beyond general hydrocarbons and oils, confirm compatibility through your own risk assessment, because standardised test conditions may not replicate all site exposures.

After Use

Remove gloves when signs of wear or damage appear. When removing gloves contaminated with oils or chemicals, ease left and right gloves off alternately using the gloved hand to prevent skin contact with contaminants. For reuse, wipe with a damp cloth and inspect before storage. Store between 10°C and 30°C in original packaging away from direct light, not exceeding 40°C. Mechanical properties remain stable for up to three years from manufacture when stored correctly.

What is the EN 388:2016+A1:2018 4121A rating and what does it mean for this glove?

Level 4 abrasion (8,000+ cycles), Level 1 blade cut, Level 2 tear, Level 1 puncture, and TDM cut score A (below 2 Newtons). The A cut score confirms this is not a cut-resistant glove for sharp-blade work. The primary strengths are abrasion and puncture resistance, making it well suited to masonry, oily parts handling and general maintenance rather than any application involving bladed materials.

What does EN 407:2020 X1XXXX mean in plain terms?

EN 407 tests six thermal hazard categories (A to F). X means that category was not tested or does not apply. The 1 in position B means Level 1 contact heat resistance: at least 15 seconds of protection at 100°C. No flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat or molten metal protection is claimed. The glove is for dry-condition use only and must not contact a naked flame.

Is this glove genuinely suitable for oil submersion, or just splash resistant?

It is suitable for submersion. The double-dipped full nitrile coating covers the entire glove, leaving no exposed polyester liner for liquid to penetrate. The manufacturer confirms suitability for oil and water submersion tasks. This is a meaningful distinction from palm-coated gloves, where oil can wick through the uncoated back of the hand during immersion. For chemical substances beyond general hydrocarbons, confirm compatibility through your own risk assessment.

How does the Sandy Nitrile Palm compare to micro-foam nitrile coatings in oily conditions?

Micro-foam coatings use air pockets to create grip, but these saturate with oil during a shift and performance deteriorates. The sandy nitrile finish creates mechanical friction through an abrasive surface texture, so grip is not reliant on air-pocket structures that degrade with saturation. This maintains more consistent performance across prolonged exposure to oily and greasy surfaces.

Can this glove be reused and how should it be cleaned?

Yes, it is reusable unless damaged or contaminated beyond cleaning. Wipe with a damp cloth and inspect for holes, cracks, tears or colour changes before reuse. Note that performance characteristics of worn gloves may differ from original test results. Store between 10°C and 30°C away from direct light, not exceeding 40°C. Mechanical properties are stable for up to three years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly.
