How much friction or abrasion can polyester gloves withstand during long-term use?

The number of friction or wear that polyester gloves can withstand during long-term use mainly depends on the fiber type, density, weaving method and coating treatment used. As a synthetic fiber, polyester has high strength and wear resistance, but its durability will be affected to a certain extent in high-intensity friction environments. By improving the fiber process and selecting suitable coatings, the wear resistance of polyester gloves can be further improved.
Polyester gloves are suitable for use in low to medium-intensity working environments, such as warehousing, light industrial processing, assembly and other places. In these environments, polyester gloves can withstand hundreds of friction and wear. Compared with natural fibers, polyester fibers are not easy to break and have better tensile strength and tear resistance. Therefore, in most ordinary working environments, the service life of polyester gloves can reach several months, and the specific durability also depends on the frequency of use and working conditions.
In extreme friction environments, such as frequent contact with rough surfaces or high temperature environments, the wear resistance of polyester gloves may decrease. Long-term friction will cause polyester fibers to gradually wear out, affecting their protective function. Therefore, in these situations, the service life of polyester gloves may be shortened and gloves may need to be replaced regularly to maintain optimal protection.
To improve the wear resistance of polyester gloves, many polyester gloves are treated with coatings, such as polyurethane or nitrile coatings. These coatings can enhance the gloves' resistance to wear and prevent liquids or oils from penetrating into the gloves, further increasing their service life. Gloves with such coatings perform particularly well in work environments with high friction intensity.
Polyester gloves can withstand a certain degree of friction and wear during long-term use, and the specific durability is affected by many factors. By choosing the right polyester glove style and strengthening its protective layer design, its wear resistance can be significantly improved, the use time of the gloves can be extended, and effective protection can be provided in various work environments.
