SAFETY TERMS TERMS & CONDITIONS
TYPES OF LEATHER COW : Offers comfort, durability and breathability. Provides heat and abrasion resistance. PIG : Offers the greatest breathability due to its porous texture. Pigskin often becomes softer and more pliable with use. GOAT Goat is the softest most abrasion resistant leather. Goatskin provides excellent dexterity due to its supple feel. CUTS OF LEATHER GRAIN LEATHER Grain leather is found on the smooth external side of the hides; provides ultimate durability and dexterity while being both oil and water repellent. SPLIT LEATHER Split leather is found on the rougher internal side of the hide, there are three types of split leather which are; side split, shoulder split and belly split. SIDE SPLIT LEATHER Offers the best in terms of durability and quality from the split leather cuts. This is the most expensive of the cuts. SHOULDER SPLIT LEATHER Is quite durable and is slightly more economical then side split. BELLY SPLIT LEATHER Is the most economical and also the least durable of the split leather cuts. WORK GLOVE PATTERNS DEER: Is naturally soft, long wearing and warm. GUNN CUT Seams follow the natural crease of the hand providing excellent comfort. Primarily used in leather gloves. THUMB STYLE CLUTE CUT Seams are on the back of hand, allowing for a seamless palm; which adds to the overall comfort and manoeuvrability of glove. Clute is generally used for fabric gloves and lightweight leathers. AMBIDEXTROUS This style allows the glove to be worn on either hand; increases the gloves life by allowing the wearing to reverse and switch hands once a particular area becomes worn. KEYSTONE THUMB WING THUMB STRAIGHT THUMB The thumb is inserted separately and includes a double layer of leather for added protection. The keystone provides more comfort and dexterity then other patterns. The thumb has no exposed seams which provides additional wear in the thumb area and added comfort. This basic pattern requires the least amount of material and is most cost efficient.
CUFF STYLES KNIT WRIST The wrist is designed to hold glove in place and prevents debris from entering glove. SLIP ON This style is designed specifically for easy on/off. GAUNTLET The gauntlet style provides similar protection as the safety cuff with additional length for added wrist and forearm protection. SAFETY CUFF The safety cuff is designed to protect the wrist area. Opened cuff area allows for quick removable when required. (Ie. Used with machinery) BAND TOP The band top is cooler then a knit wrist and is easier to remove. SYNTHETIC AND OTHER MATERIALS NITRILE Nitrile offers good protection against oils, bases, many solvents, esters, grease and animal fats; while providing excellent resistance to snags, abrasions, punctures and cuts. NEOPRENE Neoprene provides resistance to a wide range of oils, acids, caustics and solvents. Not as resistant to snags, abrasions, cuts as Nitrile and Natural Rubber. PVA (POLYVINYL ALCOHOL) PVA has very high resistance to aliphatics, aromatics, chlorinated solvents, esters and most ketones. Resistant to snags, punctures and cuts. When exposed to water and light alcohols PVA breaks down quickly. POLYETHYLENE Polyethylene provides economical protection from chemicals, oils, fats, punctures and abrasion. Material complies with FDA regulations for food contact. SPECTRA Spectra is a polyolefin fibre and is known for its strength and cut resistance. Also offers excellent abrasion resistance and can be repeatedly laundered. NATURAL RUBBER LATEX Natural rubber latex provides high resistance to cuts; resists bases, acids, alcohols and diluted aqueous solutions of most types of chemicals. Latex may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, if you have sensitivity to latex we recommend switching to P.V.C, nitrile or neoprene. PVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE) PVC provides good resistance to abrasions and cuts; good protection against many acids, caustics, bases and alcohols. PVC is not recommended for ketones and many other types of solvents. POLYURETHANE Polyurethane resists bases, acids, alcohols, grease and animal fat. Not recommended for most types of organic solvents. Excellent protection against snag, punctures, abrasion and cuts. KEVLAR Kevlar is 5 times stronger then steel by weight and can provide protection up to 900 F with a liner. Kevlar is known for its high strength but is not recommended for use in abrasive applications. TWARON Twaron is made from an extremely strong synthetic lightweight fibre that provides excellent heat and cut resistance. SUPPORTED VS UNSUPPORTED GLOVES A supported glove is made by dipping a knit or woven cloth liner into a glove compound such as latex. The liner supports the compound and adds strength. An unsupported glove is dipped directly into the glove compound with no supporting lining. Unsupported gloves are better to use for dexterity while supported gloves provide better cut resistance.

SAFETY TERMS ANSI: Stands for the American National Standards Institute. This consensus body consists of volunteer safety professionals who create or revise documents on test requirements, procedural methods and product specifications. When a manufacturer meets these specifications, then the letter Z plus the standard can be placed on the manufacturer's products. Eg. ANSI Z87.1 is the standard for eye and face protective devices. CFR Stands for the Code of Federal Regulations. These are the federal laws of the united states. CFRA Stands for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It is responsible for all inspection and associated activities related to food safety. CGSB Represents the Canadian General Standards Board. This is the largest standards development and conformity assessment organization in Canada, which is recognized world wide. A supplier who meets these standards is nationally recognized. CFM Cubic Feet per Minute. CLASS A FIRE Wood, paper, cloth, trash or other ordinary materials. CLASS B FIRE Gasoline, grease, oil, paint, or other flammable liquids. CLASS C FIRE Live electrical equipment. CLASS D FIRE Flammable metals. CSA Is the Canadian Standards Association. A non-profit, voluntary membership association which develops standards through consensus. Also offers clarification and testing services. db Stands for Decibel. A unit for measuring the intensity of sound on a scale of 0-130. The higher the number, the greater the sound. IDLH Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health; is any atmosphere that poses an immediate threat to life, would cause irreversible adverse health effects, or would impair an individual's ability to escape from a dangerous situation. WHMIS Stands for Workplace Hazardous Material Information.
