Workers, Safety Managers and new regulations all demand an added level of protection when working with shared items, equipment or contact surfaces. Gloves are now being relied upon as a new line of defence against contamination.
The FIRST reusable coated seamless knit glove offering Advanced Barrier Protection – a proprietary coating technology found only in G-Tek® VR-X™ series gloves.
Disposable gloves are NOT an ideal, sustainable, or effective solution for worker confidence. Workers must wear gloves that help protect them from cuts and abrasion while providing barrier protection. Gloves need effective grip to help workers be productive. That’s why they need G-Tek® VR-X™ gloves.
PIP®, in collaboration with its key partners, have developed a new polyurethane-based coating that offers unprecedented barrier protection in a work glove.

Test method for determining the penetration resistance of gloves that protect against dangerous chemicals and/or microorganisms
> ISO 374-5:2016
Performance testing and terminology to determine protection against microorganisms risks
Polyurethane-based coating is tested in accordance to:
> ISO 21702:2019
Test method for antiviral activity on non-porous surfaces
> ISO 20743:2013
Specifies quantitative test methods to determine the antibacterial activity of all antibacterial textile products including nonwovens
* ISO 21702 This document specifies proper methods for measuring antiviral activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces of antiviral-treated products against specified viruses. Due to the individual sensitivities, the results of one test virus might not be applicable for other viruses.
