Ideal Applications
Assess the AP12 for assembly, packing and general component handling where its documented mechanical performance suits the job. Compare the micro-foam coating under your actual conditions and trial the index-finger and thumb screen use if digital checks form part of the task.
Use and Care
Inspect the coating, knit and fingertips before use. Follow the supplied cleaning instructions and remove damaged or contaminated pairs from service. Do not rely on a finish or recycled-content claim to decide whether a glove is clean or ready for reuse.
