Production Process
Apply a covering treatment to the base yarn. Enclose the core yarn with an outer layer of covering yarn.
- This enhances the yarn’s inherent strength and abrasion resistance while ensuring glove comfort.
- By blending non-elastic and elastic yarns, the yarn gains elasticity. This effectively reduces the risk of yarn breakage in gloves.
This step also prepares materials for subsequent liner knitting.
15 covering machines ensure stable supply. Actual equipment count is subject to production scheduling.
Tungsten Filament Core/High-Hardness Metal Wire: Offers superior cut resistance. Its hardness and abrasion resistance surpass steel wire cores. Suitable for high-risk tasks like heavy machinery operation and steel plate handling.
Glass fiber: Offers excellent cut resistance and heat tolerance. Also provides electrical insulation. Commonly used as a composite material in welding, metallurgy, and electronics manufacturing.
The glove’s base structure is made by knitting processed yarn on special equipment. This step establishes the glove’s fundamental shape. The liner primarily determines the glove’s flexibility, tactile feel, and abrasion resistance.

Inner Liner Construction and Manufacturing Process
- Cuff: Hemmed / Locked Hem / Standard Ribbed Cuff / Extended Ribbed Cuff
- Fit: Reinforced Fingertips / Ergonomic
- Gauge: 7G / 10G / 13G / 15G / 18G / 21G, etc.
- Knitting Techniques: Stockinette Stitch/Terry, etc.
Process Description: Insert the knitted liner into the glove mold. Immerse it in the required coating mixture (e.g., nitrile rubber). Cure and set the coating through drying to form the finish. Different coating liquids impart distinct properties to the knitted liner.
The coating process boosts the glove’s resistance to slipping, abrasion, chemicals, and oil.
Coating Coverage: Palm coated / Half dipped / Fully dipped / Full palm
Coating Immersion Process: Single dip / Double dip (for enhanced abrasion resistance and durability)
Surface Finish Types: Sandy finish / Smooth / Foam / Textured
| Coating Type | Number of Lines | Advantages | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrile Coating | 6 | Excellent oil resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. High physical strength, superior puncture and abrasion resistance compared to latex, good aging resistance. | Frequent contact with oil or chemical reagents, such as mechanical repair, chemical workshops. |
| Latex Coating | 4 | Exceptional elasticity and high fit/comfort level. | Light-duty protection scenarios, such as food processing. |
| Other Coatings (PU / PVC / Neoprene) | 14 | PU: High flexibility, lighter and thinner PVC: Waterproof, oil-resistant Neoprene: Protects against most chemical reagents | PU: Electronic component assembly, automotive processing PVC: Petrochemical industry, agricultural fertilization, construction Neoprene: Chemical waste handling, battery manufacturing industry |
Sandy Finish: Features a subtle granular texture that enhances the glove’s grip.
Smooth finish: Features a texture-free surface for easy cleaning. Reduces dust and debris adhesion.
Wrinkled finish: Creates irregular surface folds. Improves wrapping capability around irregular objects. Enhances slip resistance in complex scenarios.
Foam finish: Offers excellent breathability. Maintains reliable grip in humid conditions. Enables precise manipulation and sensitive handling.
Dot Texture/Web Reinforcement Process Key Points:
- Use PVC or nitrile rubber granules.
- Focus on high-stress areas, like the palm and fingertips.
- Apply with a dot texture machine.
This enhances slip resistance and abrasion resistance on the palm surface and fingertips. This is followed by cooling and curing.
The dot texture structure boosts grip in both dry and wet conditions. It also extends glove lifespan without adding thickness.
One dot-reinforcement production line
- Bead color/bead shape
- Bead dimensions: bead diameter/bead density/bead height, etc.
- Bead placement distribution: palm/finger areas/entire palm/fingertips/webbing, etc.
- Bead material: PVC/nitrile, etc.
Spread the palm area of the glove. Then, add wear-resistant rubber or reinforcement material to the thumb patch. This effectively addresses wear caused by high-frequency friction.
One thumb reinforcement assembly line.
- Reinforcement area rubber layer color
- Reinforcement area size/thickness/shape
- Reinforcement material selection: Same as coating material/abrasion-resistant material, etc.
- Reinforcement structure: Single-layer reinforcement/thumb reinforcement, etc.
- Transfer Label: Applies designs to gloves via heat transfer technology. Ideal for complex, vibrant designs like brand logos or custom patterns. Label durability depends on material and printing process. Recommended for high-visibility branding.
- Screen-Printed Label: Applies ink to gloves via screen printing. Suitable for simple designs with few colors, such as brand names or model numbers. Highly abrasion-resistant and wash-fast with excellent durability. Recommended for high-frequency use scenarios.
- Care Label: Sewn or affixed to the glove’s inner side. Provides essential usage information like fabric composition and washing instructions.
- Glove Packaging Method
- Packaging Carton (Carton specifications and quantities can be customized per order)
