Double-dip latex coatings keep water out, help wet gloves maintain grip
CLEVELAND—Wastewater treatment is one of the unsung essentials that defines a civilization. The sanitary handling of waste, and the ability to transform it into clean water, categorically improves quality of life. The people who work in the field require protection from bacteria, pathogens, parasites, and fungi. Hand protection that is both robust and comfortable is a critical component of wastewater personnel PPE. Brass Knuckle® SmartFlex™ BK350 gloves are ideal for wastewater applications, protecting the skin from prolonged exposure to liquids and helping to protect against skin disease.
Its double-dip of latex coating serves two vastly different yet vital purposes. The first coat, a durable natural latex, covers the full front and back of the hand to lock out moisture. The second, a latex foam on the palm, provides excellent grip in wet conditions and resistance to abrasions and tears.
Occupational skin diseases are a major category of work-related illnesses, often cited as making up 30-50% of all occupational illnesses, and are the second most common type of work-related illness. SmartFlex BK350 can help reduce the risk of skin disease while packing enough grip to help wearers hang on to the tools of their jobs. That promotes compliance.
Also making workers want to wear these gloves is a soft, seamless polyester liner for long-wearing comfort and nothing to rub or chafe. Like all Brass Knuckle® gloves, BK350 is made to fit comfortably. Fingers are tapered and curved. Sizing is carefully considered and gloves are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure flex points match up to the wearer’s knuckles.
By combining durable liquid protection, confident wet grip, and all-day comfort, Brass Knuckle SmartFlex BK350 supports the people who keep wastewater systems running safely and effectively. When workers are protected, comfortable, and confident in their PPE, they are more likely to wear it correctly and consistently. That helps reduce risk, improve compliance, and protect the essential workforce that safeguards public health every day.
