Product code: GP-GP · Specification: Grey Palm gloves with grey PU palm coating

Grey Palm PU Palm-coated Glove, 13G polyester

Also known as: “Grey Palm”, “grey palm-coated gloves”, “grey PU palm gloves” — the difference: PU coated evenly up to the finger base with no smearing, uniformly knitted 13G liner, Overlock version available, stable carton price.
Delivery: in stock, delivered within 24–48 hours (Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai); lead time for bulk orders is confirmed with the quotation.

Grey Palm has PU coating over the whole palm and the inner side of all 5 fingers, and the grey colour hides dirt — for jobs with heavy handling where visible soiling is not needed: mechanical assembly, packing, carton handling, warehousing, maintenance. Good grip on smooth surfaces (plastic, metal, glossy cartons), and twice as durable as fingertip-coated gloves because the PU takes the abrasion instead of the fabric.

Selection by process
– Handling, loading/unloading, light mechanical work, warehouse → Grey Palm (this item).
– Picking small components that need sensitivity → Grey Top fingertip-coated (GP-F).
– White rooms where soiling must be visible → White Palm (GP-P).
– EPA areas with resistance checks → Carbon Palm (GC-P).
– Light oil → nitrile palm-coated gloves (ask PRIMEAG).

Documents per lot: RoHS, CO/CQ; 5-pair sample.
Recurring orders: price held for 6 months, minimum buffer stock of 3 cartons.

FAQ
– Does palm coating make hands hot? — The back of the hand is uncoated fabric, so it stays breathable; only the palm is coated.
– How many shifts does a pair last? — 2–4 shifts depending on abrasion, twice as long as fingertip-coated gloves.
– Is it oil-grip resistant? — PU grips well when dry but poorly with oil; for oil use nitrile.
– What do ML/ND/NK in the stock code mean? — Internal supplier codes for the same specification; customers do not need to distinguish them.

Construction of Grey Palm gloves

Seamless 13G polyester liner, no finger seams: 13G is a medium gauge — a balance of dexterity, durability, grip and comfort for general-purpose work (Ergodyne). 7–10G gloves are thicker for heavy, highly abrasive work; 15–18G are thinner for fine work.
PU on the palm and inner side of the fingers: a thin, elastic polyurethane layer with good dry grip on plastic, metal and glossy cartons. The back of the hand is left open for ventilation.
Grey colour: hides dirt, suits warehouses, mechanical work and packing — where white gloves quickly “look worn” even though they are still usable.

Reading the EN 388 4131 code

Digit	Property	Level	Minimum threshold (EN 388:2016)
4	Abrasion	4 (highest)	8,000 cycles
1	Cut (Coup test)	1	index 1.2
3	Tear	3	50 N
1	Puncture	1	20 N

Practical conclusion: the glove is very abrasion-resistant thanks to the PU on the palm, but offers almost no cut or puncture resistance. Handling sheet metal, stamped blanks with burrs, utility knives or glass requires dedicated cut-resistant gloves (with an ISO 13997 cut level, marked A–F), not Grey Palm.

PRIMEAG Grey Palm gloves with grey PU palm coating

PU, nitrile or latex?

Coating	Advantages	Limitations
PU	Thin, light, dexterous, leaves few marks	Poor grip with oil
Nitrile	Better grip and resistance to oil and grease	Thicker, less sensitive
Latex	Excellent grip, elastic	May cause natural rubber latex allergy

EN ISO 21420 requires gloves containing natural rubber to carry an allergy warning. In electronics factories, PU remains the main choice because it is clean and dexterous.

EN ISO 21420: chemical safety and glove sizing

Standard PU gloves are made by dipping the liner into a PU solution with DMF (dimethylformamide) solvent, then washing through long water baths to remove the solvent. DMF can be absorbed through the skin. EN ISO 21420:2020 — the general standard replacing EN 420 — limits DMF in gloves containing PU to 1,000 mg/kg. Factories using thousands of pairs per month should keep the supplier’s DMF/pH test reports in their PPE files.

Sizing: EN ISO 21420 requires manufacturers to declare hand circumference and length for each size. How to measure: wrap a tape measure around the palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Gloves that are too loose crease at the fingers, reduce grip and wear faster; too tight causes hand fatigue and tears the liner seams.

Typical applications

Component and finished-goods warehouses: handling cartons, plastic trays and reels.
End-of-line packing: folding cartons, labelling, palletising.
Light mechanical assembly: assembling frames, driving screws, fitting castors, assembling steel-pipe racks.
Machine maintenance in dry, oil-free conditions.

Not for use in EPA areas

Ordinary polyester liners and PU coatings are insulating materials. ESDA advises that grounded personnel handling static-sensitive components should not wear insulating gloves. If the area has exposed components or PCBs, switch to Carbon Palm (GC-P) with the same palm-coating style.

Use and replacement

Replace when the PU is worn through to the fibres on the palm or thumb, or when the gloves are soaked with oil.
Gloves wet with sweat lose grip: issue 2 pairs/shift for continuous handling stations.
Store gloves in a dry place away from sunlight; PU generally ages faster in hot, humid conditions.
Do not use PU gloves for chemicals or strong solvents — these are mechanical gloves, not chemical-protection gloves.
