Electrician's gloves

In addition to industrial gloves we manufacture insulated rubber gloves for electricians.

They are seamless gloves as they are produced using rubber latex by dipping process.They are made to American

standards.(astm). D120-02a (Reapproved 2006)


ASTM 's requirement is that the gloves should be seamless. They specify the size,length and the

thickness at different locations of the gloves. They do not specify the dimensions of lengths

of fingers ,gap between them . etc...as they vary persons of varying countries.According to them

if the gloves suit client's hands those diamensions can be accepted for astm stds.

In India electrical gloves with seams are sold . B I S has certified them .And they have specified the

dimensions of finger lengths,dia ,..etc . Our products have small variations in dimensions and so E B dept.

does not accept our product though our products meet astm stds.


We have two types of gloves namely 1.ozone resistant 2. non resistant to ozone.

We manufacture five classes of gloves known as class 00,0 ,1,2,3,4.

The sizes of gloves from 9 1/2inches to 11 inches with varying lenght from 11 inches or 280 mm for class 00

11" or 280 cm and to a length of 16 lnches or 400 mm .

Size of gloves is the half of internal circumfrancial length of the gloves at the palm of the gloves.

WE manufacture gloves using porcelain formers and so consistancy in product quality can be expected.

They are produced to meet latest astm stds.
