Glass handling gloves

Post by ChrisG »

What glove do you use when handling glass?

The builders gloves seem to have some form of oil coating that is difficult to remove from coated glass in particular.

We use Ansell Hyflex gloves, they do many different types of work gloves for pretty much every application and industry.They do various gloves specifically for glass handling and cut resistance.

we use the 11-616 for light/general handling, they are really quite thin so you still get good feeling.

We use the 11-627 for glass:

and the 11-435 are a bit more heavy duty, also use for glass and general handling...

Yes Geospectrum the ones from Lion are the Ansell Powerflex 80-600 range, I found them a bit thick but they have very high cut resistance.

I use a pair of "PowerGrab Plus work gloves" - cut level 2.

Great value from The Wholesale Glass Co. based in Croyden.
