Key Features of SAS Thickster Gloves

1. Ultra-Thick 14 Mil Latex Construction

The standout feature of Thickster Gloves is their heavy-duty thickness. At approximately 14 mil, these gloves are two to three times thicker than conventional disposable gloves, offering exceptional resistance to punctures and tears. This added durability makes them ideal for high-risk industrial tasks.

2. Fully Textured Grip

A fully textured surface ensures a secure grip in wet, oily, or dry conditions. This feature enhances worker safety and productivity by reducing the likelihood of dropped tools or materials.

3. Extended 12-Inch Cuff

The extended cuff provides additional protection for the wrist and lower forearm, safeguarding users from splashes, debris, and chemical exposure. The beaded cuff design also improves glove strength and makes donning easier.

4. Superior Elasticity and Comfort

Latex offers natural elasticity, allowing SAS Thickster Gloves to conform to the hand for a snug and comfortable fit. This flexibility supports dexterity and reduces hand fatigue during extended wear.

5. Powder-Free and Exam-Grade Options

Powder-free versions minimize contamination and skin irritation, making them suitable for controlled environments such as laboratories and food processing facilities.

6. Enhanced Chemical Resistance

While latex is not suitable for all chemicals, it provides excellent resistance to many water-based solutions, mild acids, and cleaning agents, making Thickster latex gloves versatile across various industries.
