Polyco GIW Grip It Wet Mechanics Work Gloves
The Polyco GIW Grip It Wet Mechanics Work Gloves are designed to maximise grip in oily and greasy environments like mechanics workshops and assembly yards. They feature a nylon liner on top of a dual coating of latex for water resistance on the hand and wrist.
Thanks to their incredibly grippy palm coating they are able to withstand short term contact with hot materials, making them just as good for use in engineering and aerospace applications.

Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 388: Mechanical Resistance
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 3 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 2 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
EN 407: Heat-Resistance
EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Burning Resistance | N/A |
| Contact Heat Resistance | Level 1 (100°C) |
| Convective Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Resistance to Small Molten Splashes | N/A |
| Resistance to Large Molten Splashes | N/A |

What Do Polyco 100°C Heat-Resistant Gloves Do to Protect My Hands?
Polyco Grip It Wet Gloves are perfect for use in wet and damp areas where manual handling is a constant demand. To give you a better idea of what they're all about, we've put together a list below to show you exactly what they guard against:
- Tearing
- Grease
- Scuffs
- Scrapes
- Oil
- Scratches
- 100°C Heat
- Light Incisions
100°C Contact Heat Resistance
Polyco Grip It Oil-Resistant Work Gloves allow the user to safely handle material with a temperature not exceeding 100°C for up to fifteen seconds. This means you can safely handle machine parts, pipes, heating systems and hot tools and implements without worrying about burns, scolding and accidental drops.
Thin and Lightweight Latex Coating
What makes Polyco Grip It Wet Gloves so special is they're incredibly thin and lightweight coating. This use of latex doesn't skimp on protection, giving you all the resistance to scuffs, scratches and scrapes that you might need when working with low to medium risks at work.
What Is the Benefit of Latex Gloves?
Latex is an incredibly durable, cost-efficient coating. Because of its widespread use and subsequently inexpensive nature, gloves manufactured with it are inexpensive whilst remaining high quality. Latex coated gloves tend to have a higher puncture and tear resistance than their nitrile counterparts.
Our Number One Choice for Mechanics and Engineers
It's no surprise that 100°C of contact heat resistance and amazing grip make these gloves ideal for mechanics and engineers alike. This unique marriage of protections allows you to safely handle hot and heated material without worrying about burns, scolding and drop related accidents.
Innovative "Sanitized" Antimicrobial Treatment
The Sanitized fabric hygiene system helps to reduce the growth and spread of microorganisms that are particularly problematic, such as clostridia and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is particularly beneficial to work gloves because of the build up sweat and the risk of cross contamination from hand to face throughout the day.
Provides an Excellent Level of Grip
There's a reason why they're called Grip It Gloves. Polyco have engineered the slightly textured latex coating on their GIW Gloves to maximise grip in damp and wet conditions, making them an excellent choice for mechanics, factory workers and manual handling pros who frequently find grease, oil and even rain compromising the integrity and strength of their grip.
Breathable and Open Backhand
A breathable backhand makes all the difference when working long hours. It allows air to pass through the glove naturally, releasing any odour, sweat, bacteria and bad smells that may have built up whilst you're hard at work during the day.
