Understanding Glove Coating: Your Key to Optimal Protection

Did you know that the right coating type can make or break your glove's performance? At Qingdao Meiji Labor Products Co., Ltd, we've helped thousands of businesses select the perfect coating type for their specific needs. Let's break down the three main coating types and their ideal applications.

* Back of hand remains uncoated and breathable

* Provides targeted protection where it's needed most

Best For:

Hot Environments (maximum breathability)

Light-Duty Tasks (general maintenance, packaging)


Qingdao Meiji Recommendation:

Our Palm Coat Series offers:

Micro-textured palm for enhanced grip

Breathable nylon back for comfort
