With the continuous development of modern industry, the complexity of the work site environment has further deepened, posing higher requirements for safety protection performance. For different work scenarios, gloves not only need to have good protective properties such as cutting resistance, puncture resistance, high/low-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, oil resistance, and shock resistance, but also have characteristics including softness, lightness, breathability, and comfort. The innovative application of new materials is an effective means to solve this problem. For example, high-performance fibers such as HPPE and aromatic polyamide have excellent mechanical and chemical properties including high strength, cutting resistance, tear resistance, high/low-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, impact resistance, high electromagnetic wave transmittance, and low friction coefficient. The innovative application of these new materials can effectively improve the protective performance of products, further expand the application field of gloves, and thus drive the continuous expansion of the glove market space.
