This new glove from the UK-based hand-protection specialist provides, quite simply, extraordinary grip – when it is needed most. And not just in dry conditions but in wet work, too.

Grip-It-MAX_action-(9)[4] The Grip It® MAX has been constructed differently from other gloves of this type on the market. It is injection-moulded using TPE – thermoplastic elastomer – in a high-precision process. The particular compound of TPE devised is injected into the glove mould in a liquid state and dries in a way that still allows amazing flexibility. This combined with a unique and specially designed tread pattern on the palm and fingertips, results in a gripping ability that is truly exceptional.

Safe and secure gripping ability is crucial in many work environments. Abrasion, knocks and scrapes are constant dangers in many work situations, so resistance to and effective protection from them is also important. Grip It® MAX’s three-quarter TPE coating, which is reinforced in critical areas, offers better resistance to abrasion and tears than traditionally dipped gloves and makes for a more robust product than those coated in latex or nitrile.

For those engaged in warehousing and distribution, good grip when handling and moving goods can make all the difference. Essentially, the better the operative’s grip, the less force he or she has to exert to move – for example – a carton, trolley or lifting device, so the risk of musculoskeletal injury is mitigated. Furthermore, having a firm grip on an object means there is less risk of dropping it and thus causing injury to the worker, or others.

Another feature that really sets the Grip It® MAX apart is its ergonomic construction. Most similar types of glove on the market are constructed flat, i.e. in the ‘resting’ state, the gloves fall flat. But in the relaxed human hand, the thumb drops down – this is known as the ‘underslung thumb’. So, even though flat construction is much easier and quicker to achieve, Polyco designed the Grip It® MAX to follow the natural positon of the hand at rest, to allow for ease of movement. Also like the hand, the glove has tapered fingers, ensuring tasks that require dexterity can be performed without difficulty.

Overall, a glove that ensures a strong and secure grip in wet and dry conditions, that is supremely comfortable to wear and that does not compromise dexterity will have a positive impact on health and safety in any industry.

To highlight the extraordinary ability of Grip It® MAX, Polyco produced a short film, featuring an unexpected scenario and a familiar but unusual filming approach. To view the video, visit www.polyco.co.uk/grip-it-MAX
