SW highly prioritizes the feedback from our customers. Our products and the technologies developed by our research and development team are based on quality-of-life improvements for our consumers in their workplace environments, showing that SW prioritizes the comfort and protection of our consumers. Our Regional Sales Managers are often in daily communication with our customers, noting the glove specifications needed in various industries. SW’s offers many options for exam grade gloves and our glove technology is what sets our brand apart from other production houses. We also log data on glove performance across different brands across the industry and one of the few companies who do so. This is to ensure that our own products are competing at the highest quality level within the glove industry. It’s also a reason why many customers decide to switch to using our products.

For example, there was a recent case where our customers ran in an accident in the laboratory setting. There was an issue with glassware slipping and shattering. The broken pieces ended up wounding the technicians. Luckily SW has compiled data on grip in dry, wet, and oily conditions. Instead, our Regional Sales Manager recommended our PF-95OR as an alternative glove. PF-95OR combines SW TracTek technology to have enhanced grip control with its high-density pattern textured surface. Our customers found PF-95OR to be more suitable for glass handling in the life science space.

There could be many other success stories waiting to happen. At SW, our brand prioritizes building and maintaining customer satisfaction, providing hand safety at the highest quality. Only by investigating current issues within the industry and those that affect the daily use of gloves by consumers, while providing tangible solutions, will truly high-quality products be made. SW continues to use these scientific, fact-finding principles to strive forward in innovating the industry.

Our other innovative glove technology can be found on our website under our product descriptions. To name a few popular ones: there is EnerGel, DriTek, and pH Natural. SW’s patented EnerGel technology allows polysaccharides to be absorbed, instead of just settling on the skin surface. This prevents the moisturizing elements (polysaccharides) from being washed away compared to regular lotion moisturizers or other humectant aloe vera gels.

Delivered deep into the skin, EnerGel helps those predisposed to dry skin, contact dermatitis or eczema by assisting the skin’s healing process, soothing the skin and reducing inflammation and irritation flare ups. Not only does our EnerGel technology benefit those with predisposed skin sensitivity, but it can also offer comfort for those working long hours in workplace environments that necessitate wearing gloves. DriTek is SW’s patented technology for sweat management. It rapidly absorbs sweat to easily manage sweat for healthier hands, making for easy donning and doffing. pH Natural is SW’s proprietary coating that actively manages the skin’s natural pH balance to discourage microbial growth. The antimicrobial effect of pH Natural caters to professionals who need to prevent the spread of pathogens or contaminants.

SW takes great pride in crafting products that can provide maximum comfort and utility for our customers. The comfort and hand health of our customers is our utmost priority, so we continue to create innovative products suited to their needs. We look forward to building new relationships with customers who may be interested in our products as well.
