Heavy Impact Series
Engineered for harsh operational environments: our primary tier PPE units combine mechanical dexterity, ergonomic cushioning, and heavy-duty EN 388 rating benchmarks.
From the bustling maritime docks of the Port de Barcelona (ZAL - Zona d'Activitats Logístiques) to the automotive assembly clusters in Martorell and chemical corridors along Tarragona and Vallès Occidental, safety glove procurement is transitioning from commodity purchases toward niche, high-dexterity "Other Gloves" engineered for exact micro-climates and mechanical risks.
Catalonia's automotive heartbeat requires cleanroom-compatible polyurethane palm-coated gloves, ESD-safe assembly gloves, and tactile, high-gauge knit designs (18-gauge nylon/spandex) that prevent micro-scratches on polished finishes while giving operators total fingertip feedback during wire harnessing.
The Port of Barcelona moves over 70 million tonnes annually. Crane handlers, stevedores, and container de-stuffers experience high shear stress, requiring heavy anti-vibration gloves, thermal water-repellent cryogenic handlers, and TPR exoskeleton impact barrier gloves certified under EN 388:2016+A1:2018.
Centered around Sant Cugat, El Prat, and Baix Llobregat, pharmaceutical research campuses mandate specialized "Other Gloves" ranging from multi-polymer neoprene-nitrile composite chemical-splash gloves to ultra-clean, accelerator-free disposable exam and cleanroom barriers compliant with EN ISO 374-1/Type A.
Bypassing multiple European distributor markups allows Catalan safety agencies and supply houses to procure directly from our vertically integrated automated knitting and dipping infrastructure.
We synthesize raw polymer fibers including ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), high-tenacity nylon, and aramid blends in-house. Our automated 13-gauge, 15-gauge, and 18-gauge computer knitting machines yield uniform shell tension before entering computerized continuous dipping lines for sandy nitrile, smooth latex, water-based PU, or micro-foam finishes.
Every industrial glove line exported to Spain arrives with valid Notified Body certification (such as SATRA, CTC, or Inspec). Comprehensive technical files, Declarations of Conformity (DoC), multi-lingual user instruction leaflets (including Spanish and Catalan translations), and exact batch laser labeling are fully integrated into our quality audit protocols.
By coupling "Other Gloves" production with our fall protection harnesses, lifting slings, and industrial foot safety gear, European buyers consolidate multi-category PPE into unified 20GP or 40HQ maritime containers, maximizing cubic meter usage and dramatically amortizing logistics overheads per product unit.
Standard leather rigger gloves fail prematurely when subjected to wet friction, petroleum mists, or high-cycle shearing. The table below illustrates structural performance benchmarks required by Barcelona industrial tenders.
| Performance Criterion | Standard Commodity Leather / Cotton | Custom Nitrile Micro-Foam "Other Gloves" | TPR Impact Anti-Vibration Heavy Marine |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN 388:2016 Abrasion Cycles | Level 2 (approx. 500 cycles to puncture) | Level 4 (8,000+ continuous cycles) | Level 4+ Reinforced palm padding |
| Oil & Hydraulic Fluid Grip | Rapid absorption, slippery surface, stiffening | Micro-channel capillary oil suction surface | Textured multi-layer sandy nitrile barrier |
| Dexterity Rating (EN 420 Pin Test) | Level 1–2 (bulky seams, low tactility) | Level 5 (micro-pin retrieval capable) | Level 3–4 with anatomical finger articulation |
| Dorsal Impact Absorption (EN 13594) | 0% (no metacarpal or finger protection) | Optional thin sponge padding | >85% peak energy displacement (TPR Armor) |
| Breathability & Ergonomics | Traps moisture; internal chafing risk | 360° porous coating prevents hyperhidrosis | Vented thermoplastic ribbing with mesh back |
