Reasons for Regular Replacement of PU Coated Gloves

PU coated gloves inevitably undergo wear and aging processes during use. This type of wear may come from frequent contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces, or corrosion caused by prolonged work in a chemical environment. As the usage time increases, the PU coating of the gloves will gradually become thinner, crack or even peel off, thereby reducing their anti slip performance and protective effect. Meanwhile, the fibers inside the gloves may also become loose due to wear and tear, affecting the comfort and fit of wearing. Therefore, regular replacement is necessary to ensure that the protective performance of gloves is not affected.
In addition to physical wear, the performance of PU coated gloves may gradually decline due to other factors. For example, after prolonged use, gloves may gradually lose their elasticity, resulting in poor adhesion and affecting their anti slip effect. In addition, if gloves are used or cleaned improperly in a humid environment, they may also breed bacteria or mold, posing a threat to hand health. These performance degradation issues need to be resolved through regular glove replacement.
Many industries and work environments have strict safety standards and compliance requirements for personal protective equipment. PU coated gloves, as a common PPE, must meet relevant standards and regulations in terms of performance and quality. However, over time, the performance of gloves may gradually deviate from these standards and regulations. Regular inspection and replacement of gloves that do not meet standards are essential to ensure workplace safety and compliance.
In certain work environments, such as food processing, healthcare, and other fields, the hygiene requirements for gloves are extremely high. Although PU coated gloves have certain chemical resistance and antibacterial properties, they may still be contaminated or breed bacteria after prolonged use. In order to ensure the hygiene quality of products and the health and safety of employees, these industries usually require employees to regularly change gloves.
