1. The Technology: How It Works

tandard leather and synthetic materials insulate electricity, blocking the body’s natural current that capacitive screens need to function. We use three methods to make gloves conductive:

• Conductive Thread: Stitched into the index finger and thumb. Good for basic tasks but can wear out over time.

• Touchscreen Leather: Goat or sheepskin treated with a conductive solution during the tanning process. This is the most durable option as the entire fingertip is active.

• Conductive PU/Silicone: A grip coating applied to synthetic gloves that allows for screen interaction.

2. Winter & Cold Weather Operations

Removing a glove in -20°C to answer a radio call or check a GPS can lead to instant frostbite. Our Winter Tactical Gloves feature conductive fingertips compatible with heavy insulation, ensuring soldiers stay warm while staying connected.

3. High-Risk Protection (Cut & Puncture)

Historically, adding cut resistance (Kevlar/HPPE) reduced tactile sensitivity. However, we have successfully engineered ANSI A5-A9 Cut Resistant Gloves that maintain full touchscreen capability. This allows industrial workers handling sharp metal or glass to log data on tablets without exposing their hands to injury.

4. Mechanics & Heavy Duty

For mechanics, grease and oil are constant issues. We manufacture Mechanics Gloves with oil-resistant, conductive synthetic palms. This allows technicians to use diagnostic computers without smearing the screen or removing their safety gear.

5. Rope & Rappelling Gloves

Even heavy-duty Rope/Fast Rope Gloves can be modernized. While the palm requires thick heat shields, we integrate conductive materials on the trigger finger and thumb for communications access during descent or extraction.

6. The TraCombat Standard

As an OEM manufacturer, we don’t just “spray on” a coating that washes off. We integrate the technology into the fiber of the material. Whether you need a pilot’s flight glove or a heavy-duty impact glove, we ensure 100% connectivity.

1. What is TPR?

TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) is a specialized material that combines the processing advantages of plastic with the soft, elastic properties of rubber. It is lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant. We mold this material into “armor” that is stitched or sonic-welded onto the back of the glove to absorb and disperse energy from impacts.

2. The ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Standard

Impact protection is no longer a guessing game. The ANSI/ISEA 138 standard rates gloves on three levels based on the “Peak Transmitted Force” (how much force hits your hand).

Level 3: High impact hazards (demolition, breaching, oil & gas).

Level 1: Low impact hazards (general construction).

Level 2: Medium impact hazards (heavy equipment).

3. Design for Dexterity: Segmented Protection

A solid block of rubber on your hand would prevent you from holding a weapon or tool. We solve this by using Segmented TPR. We design “flex grooves” into the impact guards that align perfectly with the human knuckle joints. This ensures that when you make a fist, the armor moves with you, not against you.

4. Manufacturing Methods: Sonic Welding vs. Stitching

As an OEM manufacturer, we offer different application methods.

Sonic Welding: A seamless, modern look where the TPR is fused directly to the fabric, reducing weight and snag points.

Stitching: The classic method, offering extreme durability for heavy-duty use.

5. Custom Branding in the Mold

One of the biggest advantages for our B2B clients is Custom Molded TPR. We can create a custom steel mold for the knuckle guard that features your logo or brand name directly inside the rubber armor. This provides a permanent, 3D branding effect that cannot be washed off or worn away.
