Microfiber Structure for Flexible Glove Palms
Dense Microfiber Base
The sea-island microfiber structure provides a uniform base for palm panels, thumb pieces and small reinforcement components.
Buffed Suede Surface
The raised nap provides a soft surface and influences grip and tactile feel during handling.
Thin Material Options
The 0.5–0.8 mm range allows glove makers to balance palm protection with finger movement and low bulk.
Glove Palm and Reinforcement Applications
Full Palm
Suitable for glove designs that require repeated contact resistance together with flexibility and grip.
Fingertips
Thin material options support curved parts and areas where finger movement is important.
Thumb Panels
Can be used in high-contact thumb areas where wear and sewing performance are important.
Reinforcement Patches
Suitable for localized palm and grip zones exposed to higher surface friction.
Abrasion Resistance for Glove Use
Abrasion performance should be evaluated using the same method and conditions when comparing materials. Martindale, Taber and other abrasion procedures can produce different results.
| Test Factor | Test Basis |
|---|---|
| Abrasion Method | Martindale, Taber or the specified glove-material procedure |
| Load and Abradant | Defined load, abrasive material or wheel and specimen setup |
| Cycle Requirement | Target cycle count for the selected material construction |
| Wear Endpoint | Nap loss, fiber exposure, thinning or hole formation |
| Conditioning | Dry, wet, perspiration or washing condition where required |

Grip, Perspiration and Color Stability
Glove palms may be exposed to sweat, moisture and repeated flexing. Material evaluation should reflect the conditions expected during use.
Grip
The suede nap can support tactile control. Dry or wet grip requirements depend on the glove application.
Perspiration
Dark or saturated colors can be evaluated for perspiration colorfastness when the material is used close to the skin.
Flexibility After Moisture
Sports and work glove materials can also be evaluated after moisture conditioning when required.
Glove Applications
Mechanics Gloves
Suitable for palm areas requiring grip, flexibility and resistance to repeated tool contact.
Sports Gloves
Suitable for cycling, golf and training gloves where tactile control and low bulk are important.
Industrial Work Gloves
Can be evaluated for palm and reinforcement zones according to the finished glove specification.
Tactical Gloves
Suitable for selected high-contact zones requiring reinforcement without excessive stiffness.

OEM Glove Material Options
Color, thickness and surface feel can be developed around the intended glove construction and approved sample.
Thickness
Choose 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm according to the palm structure and required flexibility.
Color
Physical swatches or controlled color references can be used for color matching.
Surface Feel
Nap and hand feel can be reviewed against the intended glove application.
Sewing Evaluation
Samples can be cut and sewn in the actual glove pattern before bulk production.

It can be used for palms, fingertips, thumb panels and reinforcement areas. Thickness should be selected according to the component and required flexibility.
Compare materials using the same abrasion method, load, abradant, specimen condition and wear endpoint. Cycle counts from different test methods are not directly comparable.
No. EN 388 applies to protective gloves as finished products. Material test data can support glove development but does not certify the finished glove.
The available thickness options are 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. Selection depends on the palm design, flexibility and required material body.
Yes. Custom color development can be discussed using a physical swatch or controlled color reference together with the selected material construction.
