Ideal Applications
Assess the AP10 for assembly, packing and component handling where its mechanical ratings match the task. Compare the liner and foam palm on the actual materials, including the dry or wet handling conditions. Do not infer food-contact or chemical suitability from the bamboo name or nitrile coating.
Use and Care
Inspect the foam palm, fingertips and liner before use. Clean only as directed by the supplied instructions rather than assuming rinsing will restore a contaminated glove. Replace pairs with worn coatings or damaged fibres, and store clean spares so team replacements are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the whole glove made from bamboo?
No. The liner combines bamboo viscose with nylon and elastane, and the palm has a nitrile foam coating.
Does bamboo mean the glove is antimicrobial or allergy-free?
No such guarantee is made here. Assess the actual material information and any specific evidence required for the wearer or process.
Does a nitrile palm prove chemical protection?
No. Select chemical gloves using test data for the substance and exposure rather than the coating name alone.
