Disposable gloves are a very useful product that can be used for the protection in a wide range of activities. Their main purpose is to prevent direct contact with substances harmful to health, such as chemicals. Or, of course, they can also be used to prevent damage to the hands or possible staining with dyes or oils. Juba now offers, as a novelty, boxes of disposable nitrile gloves with ten units of reference H570, a model textured all over the outside for better grip in dry, wet and oily environments. These gloves are food-grade certified and ambidextrous, so they may be used on both right and left hands. In fact, in order to better fit each professional, Juba has three different sizes: 8, 9 and 10. Nitrile is a very suitable alternative to reduce allergic reactions, especially for people intolerant to latex. Its fine, flexible texture allows for good sensitivity at the fingertips. It also optimises comfort and dexterity. Disposable gloves are a widely used resource in all industrial sectors as a protective measure, as they are essential for optimal hygiene. While they do not offer cut, heat or puncture resistance, they are essential for those who need a quick and easy layer of protection on a daily basis. These multi-purpose gloves are perfect for numerous applications and industries, such as laboratories, the chemical industry, emergency services, electronics and assembly, the food industry, food processing and, among others, industrial cleaning/maintenance. Concretely, this Juba reference protects against the following chemicals: Sodium Hydroxide 40% (level 6, >480 minutes), Ammonium Hydroxide 25% (level 1, >10 minutes), Hydrogen Peroxide (level 3, >60 minutes) and Formaldehyde 37% (level 2, >30 minutes). In any case, Juba recommends not to reuse disposable gloves, they are for single use only. In addition, once the professional has removed them, they should be disposed of in a suitable waste container. And, of course, before using any glove, always consult the technical data of each reference. If any doubt arises, you can discuss with your Customer Service to help and advise you on any purchase.  

Juba is committed to develop the most innovative products on the market, adapted to the needs of each professional sector. Many of the pruning shears incorporate a CPS system, so Juba has recently added to its catalogue, with more than 500 references, a glove focused on protecting the hands of professionals who use this type of shears. Professionals who carry out work for the growth of tree branches or vine growers must keep their hands protected with anti-cutting gloves without losing freedom of movement. Juba's new HTE100 model is a knitted glove with a locking system for electric shears made in Europe, which is ideal for use on the opposite hand to the one that handles the tool. Without a doubt, this type of glove must provide a balance between ergonomics and safety. As to protection, this reference by Juba is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), with an anti-cut level F. This letter is the maximum achieved in the TDM test, according to the health and safety requirements specified in the EN 388:2016 standard on gloves for protection against mechanical hazards. However, a glove is useless as protective armour if it does not allow adequate breathability, if it is heavy, or if the material is so stiff that force must be exerted to perform precision movements with the fingers. Or, of course, if it does not fit the physiognomy of the professional's hand. Therefore, these new gloves from Juba's Garden range are available in a wide range of sizes. Specifically, Juba offers this reference from size 7, which corresponds to S, up to size 11 or XXL. In addition, the glove is designed with an elastic knitted cuff for improved grip on the wrist. As to packaging, Juba offers clients a minimum order of a 6-unit pack of gloves, or a 60-pair box is also available. However, HTE100 should be used in dry conditions and, of course, tested for compatibility with shears before pruning.
