Kimberly-Clark Introduces New Kleenguard* Purple Nitrile* Foam Coated Gloves
New Gloves Combine Comfort & Dexterity
ROSWELL, Ga. (July 14, 2005) - Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Kleenguard® Protective Apparel, has developed a new line of general purpose industrial gloves. Kleenguard* Purple Nitrile* Foam Coated Gloves provide a high level of wet and dry grip, making them ideal for applications ranging from auto parts assembly and metalworking to warehousing and other industrial uses where tactile sensitivity is required.
Unlike work gloves made of leather or other material, Kleenguard* Purple Nitrile* Foam Coated Gloves provide both excellent dexterity and comfort thanks in part to a breathable, seamless nylon knit backing. The Purple Nitrile* Glove Foam Coating on the palm and fingers increases glove durability as well.
"Users will most likely start wearing Kleenguard* Purple Nitrile* Foam Coated Gloves for protection, but they'll end up wanting them for comfort," says Matthew Wagner, category manager, Kimberly-Clark.
The new Kleenguard* Purple Nitrile* Foam Coated Gloves offer the highest rating for abrasion resistance under EN 3881. The gloves' black-and-purple color helps to hide oil and dirt. The new gloves are available in sizes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
