Suitable Applications and Environments for Polyco Matrix F Grip Gloves
Polyco Matrix F Grip Gloves are extremely versatile, with a grippy palm coating that provides basic resistance against water, oil and minor knocks and scrapes. Their dexterity is perfect for more intricate tasks, whilst their durable polyester and nitrile coating protects hands against mechanical risks too.
Applications where we would recommend these gloves include:
How Grippy are the Matrix F Grip Gloves?
Polyco Matrix F Gloves are designed to be extremely grippy, even in slippery environments where oil, grease and light water may have contaminated materials. Their nitrile palm is coarse to the touch, which allows you to grip small and tricky items such as tools and machinery.
Despite this coarse material the gloves are still highly flexible, dexterous and sensitive and at times it's so easy to pick up items, it is as if you aren't wearing gloves at all.
Their nitrile palm coat and dexterous design makes handling tools easy
Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
Hazard | Resistance Level |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
What Does This Score Mean?
Level 4 is the highest level available when it comes to abrasion resistance, demonstrating just how durable Matrix F Grip Gloves are in the face of wear, tear, knocks and scrapes.
They offer the lowest score available for cuts and punctures. This means that they aren't recommended for using with sharp items such as knives, glass and blades, so if you are looking for some super cut-resistant gloves, we would recommend you head over to our Cut-Resistant Gloves category.
Will I Still be Able to Handle Tools, Machinery and Complete Tactile Tasks?
The high level of flexibility and sensitivity that is provided with the gloves is ideal for completing tactile tasks. When you wear the gloves they fit tight and snug around the hand whilst still providing an exceptional level of flexibility that isn't too much lower than that of an ordinary hand.
This dexterity, accuracy and precision is ideal for handling tools and gripping machinery in high risk situations.
Can I Use Them as a Glove Liner?
Speaking of versatility, these gloves don't have to be used on their own. If you so wish, you can use the gloves as an under liner to some chemical or oil resistant disposable gloves, or wear them over the top of other gloves for additional warmth and resistance.
Will the Matrix F Grip Gloves Protect my Hands Against Oil?
If you're a mechanic or engineer, or you work in the automotive or machine manufacturing industry, you'll be used to working with oil. Polyco Matrix F gloves will withstand a light amount of oil thanks to their tough nitrile coating located at the palm.
How Comfortable are Matrix F Grip Gloves?
Matrix F Grip Gloves are quite snug and tight, but this isn't a bad thing as their sensitivity and flexibility works in your favour. They fit close around the hand but because they can stretch with the natural movement of your hands it means that they aren't uncomfortable to wear. In fact, their lightweight and flexible design is perfect for extended use as it will reduce hand fatigue.
How Light are the Polyco F Grip Gloves?
Polyco F Grip Gloves are incredibly light considering the impressive protection and resistance that they offer. Their light enough that you can go about your tasks without being weighed down, and you may just forget you're wearing gloves at all!
How Sensitive Will The Polyco Grip Gloves Feel on My Hands?
For precision and tactile handling and applications, being able to feel exactly what you are holding can make your job a lot easier and safer while making you significantly more productive. Polyco F Grip Gloves are very sensitive, with their thin design promising to give you a lot more feeling in your fingers. This reduces the chances of dropping materials and goods, while ensuring that you can handle and grip tools more effectively and accurately.
Will Polyco F Grip Gloves Protect my Wrists?
Polyco F Grip Gloves are manufactured with a knitwrist that extends five centimetres from the base of the glove, meaning that your wrist is protected from knocks, scrapes, water and oil. Another benefit of this tight knitwrist is that it works to prevent outside contaminants from entering the glove, helping to keep you safe and improve hygiene.
Polyco F Grip Gloves use a knitwrist to offer protection along your wrist
How Durable Are Polyco F Grip Gloves?
Offering the maximum abrasion resistance, Polyco F Grip Gloves can withstand a lot of knocks and scrapes. As they are suitable for use in light oily conditions too you can promise to get a lot from your gloves, with their tough but flexible design promising to last through a wide range of tasks.
What Materials are Matrix F Grip Gloves Made From?
Polyco F Grip Gloves are designed using 40% polyester and 60% nitrile, both durable materials that will last for a significant amount of time. Polyester is incredibly comfortable to wear and stretches around your hand, while the durable nitrile palm coating can protect your hand against knocks, scrapes, abrasion, knocks and tears.
Can I Wash My Polyco F Grip Gloves?
Should you use the gloves outside or with oil and grease, they will become dirty after a period of time. While this won't harm the overall quality of the gloves, should you want to machine wash the gloves you will be able to. We recommend that you don't tumble dry the gloves.
Please note that machine washing the gloves may impact the overall performance of the gloves.

What is EN 388?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.
There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.
How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?
Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.
Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
Where Can I Find Out More?
This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
