Just as one glove doesn’t fit all hands, one glove can’t serve every job. Selecting the right glove for specific applications is critical—not only for safety, but also for performance and cost-efficiency. Many users fail to fully assess the risks and requirements of their work environment, leading to either inadequate protection or unnecessary over-specification.
The wrong glove can result in injuries, product contamination, hand fatigue, or unnecessary spending. That’s where SW’s hand protection experts and R&D team come in. We work closely with customers to ensure the right glove is chosen—helping to reduce injuries, improve productivity, and control costs.
When selecting proper hand protection on Personal protective, employers and workers should assess:
Need to meet with Specific workplace standards (e.g., Cross-contamination, Chemotherapy drug handling, Exposure to narcotics like fentanyl risks)
SW’s extensive catalog was developed to address these variables, offering glove solutions tailored to diverse industry needs. Many of these have been featured on our Ask GIA blog, which highlights product applications and technology in detail.
MegaMan® is one of SW’s most trusted gloves for demanding environments.

With excellent abrasion and puncture resistance plus reliable liquid protection, MegaMan delivers robust performance without sacrificing comfort , built with EcoTek® sustainable nitrile coating.
SW’s PowerForm gloves are built for handling acids, alkalis, and solvents—making them a go-to for industrial chemical protection for splash protection in single-use requirements. Featuring EcoTek® sustainable nitrile coating, these gloves offer a strong balance of chemical resistance and environmental responsibility, with a focus on dexterity and fit. PowerForm range equipped with PF-95TL as a key performing product.
When higher chemical resistance is needed, SW’s Newtrile® series delivers. The NF15 (15mil, flock-lined) and NU11 (11mil, unlined) gloves both feature EcoTek® sustainable nitrile coatings and are designed for applications requiring extended exposure protection. With a 13-inch cuff, ISO Type A chemical resistance, and ANSI Level 2 puncture and Level 6 abrasion resistance, these gloves offer long-lasting protection. An embossed raised diamond grip ensures better control, even in slippery or hazardous conditions.
SW’s TotalForm gloves are designed to deliver all-day comfort and protection while supporting sustainability goals.
