The first layer of skin:
The outermost layer of the leather is taken from the skin part of the leather, which does not require any mechanical processing and trimming.
The advantages of first layer gloves: dexterous operation, comfortable, and precise gripping performance.
Two-layer leather:
The inner layer of leather is obtained by cutting or removing the outer layer of leather.
The advantages of two-layer leather gloves: wear-resistant, suitable for rough and heavy manual labor.
Types of genuine leather and its advantages
Cowhide:
Cow head layer leather: Most protective gloves use cattle head layer leather, which is mainly scraped from the ribs. Features: soft, dexterous, comfortable, good wear resistance, tear resistance and puncture resistance.
Cow split leather: Most gloves made of split leather are used for item handling and heat protection. Usually choose to use the two-layer leather on the back of the cow, and choose fewer shoulders. The quality of the two-layer leather on the ribs is not good, so it is rarely used. Features: The cost is lower than the cow head layered leather, and the wear resistance is excellent.
goat skin:
Single skin layer: Its normal thickness cannot be pulled out of two layers of skin, and its advantage is that it is lighter than cowhide. Because it uses the original thickness, it is suitable for making gloves with better mechanical resistance. Because the fiber is not cut, its wear resistance and puncture resistance are strengthened. If it is kneaded, it will have a better contact effect. Features: soft, dexterous, good abrasion resistance, tear resistance and puncture resistance. Its abrasion resistance depends on the thickness of the leather, the thickness usually used is 1.1-1.3MM (good mechanical properties) or 0.6-1.0MM (good flexibility and dexterity).
Pigskin:
Pig's first layer leather and second layer leather: Most of them are concentrated in Asian countries. Because of its poor mechanical resistance and poor dexterity after blending, it is used to make gloves with simple isolation effects. Features: Low price.
Lambskin:
Single-layer leather: Due to its poor wear resistance and tear resistance, it is usually only used to make ordinary gloves. The thickness of lambskin is directly proportional to its dexterity. The thinner it is, the more dexterous and comfortable it is to wear. Features: soft and dexterous.
The resistance of leather and the main purpose of leather gloves
Head-layer leather gloves: the handling or operation of small and medium objects.
Oil-coated waterproof top layer leather gloves: installation of oily parts, oily steel plate handling, carpentry work, outdoor or wet work.
Two-layer leather gloves: installation and handling of sharp objects, cutting work, slippery objects and welding products.
Heat-resistant two-layer leather gloves: the operations of heating items, demoulding and welding.
Coated two-layer leather gloves: handling heavy and sharp objects, anti-fouling.
