The raised-diamond texture (RDT) channels oil and grease away from contact points for grip that holds when wet, the 8 mil barrier doubles your chemical protection versus standard industrial nitrile, and the high-vis orange color is easy to spot in busy work areas.

Unlike the micro-roughened surface on standard industrial nitrile, the RDT’s raised diamond pattern physically channels liquids away from contact points. The result is reliable grip on oiled engine components, wet paint brushes, wet concrete tools, and chemical-coated surfaces where flat-textured gloves lose traction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-visibility orange color adds a practical benefit in busy shop or construction environments: dropped gloves are easy to spot, and partial tears are easier to detect on the orange background than on black gloves.

The ridges channel oil, grease, and water away from the glove-to-object contact points, maintaining grip that a flat-textured or micro-roughened glove loses when wet. It is the primary feature distinguishing GWON from the standard GPNB.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does 8 mil compare to standard industrial nitrile?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStandard industrial nitrile runs 5 mil. At 8 mil, GLOVEWORKS HD Orange is 60% thicker, providing higher puncture resistance, longer per-pair wear time, and greater chemical barrier durability. The tradeoff is reduced tactile sensitivity vs. thinner gloves.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eAre GLOVEWORKS HD Orange gloves latex-free?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. These are 100% synthetic nitrile, latex-free, and safe for Type I latex-sensitive users. No natural rubber latex is used in the GWON formulation.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eAre these gloves food safe?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. GWON-series gloves are powder-free, latex-free, and meet FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for food contact — making them suitable for food processing applications where heavier-duty protection is needed.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat sizes does GLOVEWORKS HD Orange come in?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSmall (GWON42), Medium (GWON44), Large (GWON46), X-Large (GWON48), and XX-Large (GWON49). All sizes are 100 gloves per box. This is the complete S–XXL range, including XL which is not currently available in GLOVEWORKS Black.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy choose orange instead of black for industrial work?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eOrange offers higher visibility in busy work areas, making dropped gloves easier to spot and reducing contamination risk. Tears and punctures are also easier to detect on orange than on black. For professional appearances in customer-facing situations, black may be preferred — see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gloveworks-black-nitrile-industrial-gloves\"\u003eGLOVEWORKS Black (5 mil)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eCan I use GWON for spray painting with oil-based products?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — this is one of the primary use cases. The 8 mil barrier provides adequate protection against oil-based paints, primers, and stains for typical painting durations. For prolonged solvent immersion, use chemical-specific gloves. The RDT grip also maintains traction on wet brush handles and spray gun grips.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eDo these gloves work for brake fluid and transmission fluid?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. GWON provides good resistance to brake fluid (DOT 3\/4) and transmission fluid for typical automotive service durations. Always change gloves if you notice discoloration or softening of the glove material, which indicates breakthrough.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eHow many gloves are in a box?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e100 gloves (50 pairs) per box. AMMEX also sells cases of 10 boxes (1,000 gloves) through Amazon — available via the buy button above for bulk and contractor pricing.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eAre these powder-free?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. All GWON-series gloves are 100% powder-free with a polymer inner coating for easy donning without residue. No cornstarch or talc, required for paint and epoxy applications where residue can contaminate coatings.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat is the shelf life of GLOVEWORKS HD Orange gloves?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e5 years from manufacture date when stored cool, dry, and away from UV and ozone. The lot date is printed on each box. Bulk purchasing for work sites and warehouses is practical given this shelf life.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n\u003cdt\u003eShould I size up for GLOVEWORKS HD Orange vs. standard nitrile?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eFor most users, yes. The 8 mil thickness makes the glove stiffer than 5 mil alternatives. If you normally wear a Medium in 5 mil nitrile, try a Large in GWON for extended-wear comfort.
