THE HAND Endowed with exceptional mobility and agility, the hand is a highly developed tool comprising 27 bones, several meters of blood vessels and thousands of nerve endings. Our skin is the first layer of protection and, efficient though it may be, it offers limited resistance to the cold or other dangers such as cuts and blows.
A Legacy of Firsts In 2007, SHOWA acquired Best Manufacturing. Today, the legacy of our two pioneers in protection is carried forward as one.

We do all that we can to make a positive impact within our company, through our products and for our planet, always seeking better ways to meet the demands of today without compromising tomorrow. This is why a large proportion of our research is devoted to biodegradable products and to developing fibres that have no impact on the environment. Our efforts to reuse and conserve resources in Japan have enabled us to obtain the ISO 14001 certification -a global standard in environmental management that helps us to continually improve our operations.
SHOWA R&D reaches a major breakthrough with ECO BEST TECHNOLOGY® (EBT). EBT accelerates the biodegradation of nitrile in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters as validated by independent certified laboratories using internationally recognized test methods. EBT is composed of organic materials designed to make 6105PF attractive to microbial activity. These microorganisms upon consuming the EBT material excrete enzymes that depolymerize the nitrile. The final result is biogases and inert humus.
SINGLE USE GLOVE
6105
The inventors of the world’s first disposable nitrile glove, N-DEX, now bring you the world’s first biodegradable disposable nitrile glove. Regular nitrile gloves cannot attract enough (if any) microbial activity to begin breaking down the polymer’s molecular structure, thus leaving the process of reclamation to light, heat, mechanical stress and moisture…unlike the NEW SHOWA N-DEX 6105PF biodegradable glove.
GENERAL PURPOSE GRIP
4552
An industry-leader in general purpose hand protection, SHOWA’s 4552 provides superior defense against oils, dirt and grime, grease and abrasion, with optimal long-lasting grip. Engineered with Eco Best Technology, this planet-friendly milestone in glove innovation is ideal for multi-use applications across a range of industries.
CHEMICAL GLOVE
731
Created with premium-grade polymers and nitrile reinforcement, SHOWA 731 is a flock-lined 15 mil nitrile glove that brings you the pinnacle of tactile precision and high-capacity protection against solvents and acids. Using revolutionary Eco Best Technology, this mid-forearm gauntlet is designed for multiple uses and a range of applications, from food processing to manufacturing, janitorial to refinery operations
CHEMICAL GLOVE
728

MATERIALS and their
SHOWA: a wide range of materials and coatings. Compare the strengths and drawbacks of each and choose the compositions that best meet your needs!
COTTON Natural cellulose fiber. Flexible, soft and non-irritating, it protects against mechanical aggression (impacts, low vibration, iron filings, splinters, glass fragments), absorbs perspiration and gives you great comfort when wearing dipped protective gloves continuously. Cotton fibers are mixed with polyester fibers in order to associate comfort with a higher mechanical resistance and more elasticity.
310
NYLON A lightweight elastic polyamide which is largely lint-free and washable, dries quickly and is resistant to abrasion and deformation. Mixed with cotton and acrylic, it makes the glove more flexible and extends its lifetime.
370
ACRYLIC A polymer that is resistant to water, common solvents, acids and weak alkalis, and that is resistant to abrasion and to traction. Soft and warm, it insulates you from the cold. Mixed with cotton, it makes the knit more lightweight.
465
ARAMID It is lightweight, supple, comfortable, washable. It provides effective protection from cuts (above level 5, with stainless steel reinforcing) and from convective heat and offers durability and performance that far exceed that of leather (5 times higher) and cotton (3 times higher).
S-TEX
KV3
HPPE High performance polyethylene is flexible, light and durable. As resistant to cutting as a para-aramid but with more resistance to abrasion (ten times more resistant to flexion than a wire), it remains resistant to chemicals, in particular solvents.

TEMRES technology comes from molecular size difference between water and water vapour. The molecular size of water (liquid) is 100 to 3,000 μm (dia.): on the other hand, water vapour/moisture is 0.0004 μm (dia.). Our engineers used the significant molecular size difference, to create two main membranes into TEMRES 281 & 282 glove: one for its breathability and one for waterproofness properties.

CUT More than 80% of all hand and arm injuries are due to cuts and lacerations. Most of which can be traced to an absence of gloves. To secure the handling of tools or objects with sharp edges or slippery surfaces, we make gloves and protective sleeves that not only resist cuts, but are also comfortable to wear, thus ensuring compliancy as well as safety.

THE EXPERT CORNER CUT TEST METHODOLOGY EXPLAINED:

However, the single largest factor is this: while the EN 388 standard suggests that the Coup test is not appropriate for materials that abrade the cutting wheel, the standard does not require the alternative ISO 13997 testing method be used.
like chain mail, but doesn’t take into account other hard materials like fibre glass. The test is not always appropriate for higher scores in cut resistant fibres.” This is very common in gloves that are blended with fibre glass, as the fibre glass “blunting” the Coup test by dulling the blade. The range of performance that gloves can score and still qualify for a EN 388 cut level 5 is so varied that the European Committee for Standardization body is going to require gloves to not only list their cut level, but to also note their average

Stainless steel
Patented HAGANE COIL Technology ®
Utilizing the patented Hagane Coil® technology we are able to provide high levels of cut resistance without sacrificing performance and comfort. Hagane steel is the high carbon steel used in forging the Japanese Samurai fighting sword. In addition to this it utilizes a unique coiling technique that twists an attending yarn loosely around the stainless steel core thus protecting the stainless steel core when the hand bends and flexes for maximum protection, comfort and performance. Notable points: • Not all gloves with the same EN 388 level offer the same level of cut protection when compared using ISO 13997 test method • EN 388 measures number of cycles needed to cut the sample, ISO 13997 measures the weight needed to cut the sample • Gloves with lower EN 388 level can offer more cut protection than gloves with higher EN 388 level when testing to ISO 13997
BENEFITS: Patented fibre for advanced cut protection • Excellent cut resistance performance due to engineered fibre • Test ISO 13997 - 18N (Newton) • A comfortable, supple glove providing effective resistance to abrasion • Surface provides performant grip • Wrist well protected • High visibility •B reathable back of hand to reduce perspiration • Designed for easy movement and extended wear •S eamless knit designed to prevent irritation

SPECIALITY ANTISTATIC PROTECTION
The human body, including the hand, charges itself with electrical charges. These charges can damage components (like semiconductors or printed circuit boards). That is why SHOWA offers a complete range of gloves to protect these components against static electricity. Select the right liner and the right quality. The liner prevents electrostatic charges from migrating from the hand to the handled objects by channelling them towards the body to be dispersed in the air and discharged into the ground.

RISKS RELATED TO FOOD CONTACT
It is applied to materials and articles that, at finished state, are intended to come into contact or are brought into contact with foodstuffs or with water that is for human consumption. According to Regulation 1935/2004: «The materials and articles must be manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practice so that, under normal or foreseeable conditions for their use, they do not transfer their constituents to food in quantities which could:
Antistatic properties
• Present a danger to human health, • Results in an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs or a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics thereof.» All SHOWA gloves with the «food contact» logo are conforme to Regulation (EU) No 1935/2004 and the Regulation (EU) No 2023/2006.
covering medical examination and surgical gloves Best Manufacturing N-DEX® medical gloves are manufactured in an ISO 9001: 2000 quality certified facility and meet the 1.5 Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL), required by the European Standard EN 455-1. The Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) is a statistical standard defined by industry organisations, customers and manufacturers. Inspection levels or sampling plans are defined to determine pass or failure during quality controls. The lower the Acceptance Quality Limit, the more consistent the product quality will be. The larger the sampling plans (inspection levels) the lower the chance of overlooking defective product batches.

COLOR-CODED CUFF Some styles of SHOWA have a color-coded cuff. These cuffs enable the size recognition in the factory and the pairing after washing the gloves. TESTING PRIOR TO USING If the glove is too small, it cuts off the blood circulation and restricts the movement of the hand. On the contrary, too big gloves slip off at the slightest movement and make your handling very imprecise. To be sure of your size and fit don’t hesitate to ask for samples from your SHOWA distributor.
