OUR STORY

Family. Innovation. Quality.

Those were the three tenets that my father, Frank Geng, used as the foundation for Superior Glove Works (SGW) several decades ago. Starting with only five styles and using pieces of leather discarded by the nearby tanneries, my dad had little concern for profit margins or revenue generation; he had only one goal: To protect people’s hands. Years later, SGW is still driven by those three tenets and our raison d’être remains the continuous improvement of hand and arm safety to keep people safe. Hand injuries can ruin lives, and it’s easy to see why. Try tucking your thumbs into the palm of your hands and then try performing normal activities – try making a call on your phone, holding a glass, brushing your teeth. All impossible or nearly so. Now, imagine life with no mobility in your hands at all. Not only will it make simple tasks seem herculean, but you’ll also miss out on all the intimacies that come along with touch such as shaking a business partner’s hand, high-fiving a colleague for a job well done, or giving your child a congratulatory hug after a big accomplishment. Hand and arm injuries can not only be devastating, but also life changing, which is why we do what we do. We work day in and day out to design and manufacture the most innovative, game-changing gloves and sleeves to protect your hands and arms. No matter the hazard, we’ve got a glove or sleeve to protect you – and if we don’t, we’ll work our hardest to innovate a solution for you. When it comes time to work, enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your hands are protected by a Superior glove.

Thank you,

Tony Geng President

PRODUCT TESTING

Whether you’re plunging your hand into the Atlantic Ocean, tightening a bolt on an oil rig, or reaching for a sharp piece of metal, the last thing on your mind should be: Are my gloves going to protect me? When you’re out doing your job, you should be confident that your gloves can do theirs. The last place you want to be testing the efficacy of your gloves is on the job.

At Superior Glove, we test our gloves using the latest testing standards and state-of-the-art equipment. When you pick up a pair of Superior gloves, you can be confident that the protection you’re promised is the protection you’re getting.

In our in-house testing lab, we have the equipment required to test our gloves’ ability to protect your hands against the following hazards:

CUT TEST A glove’s ability to protect against cuts and lacerations is tested using the ASTM F1790 / F1790M standard.

IMPACT TEST A glove’s ability to protect hands against impact injuries is tested using the ANSI / ISEA 138 standard.

10

superior glove.com

THERMAL TESTS:

Cold – A glove’s ability to keep hands warm is measured under humidity, wind chills, and extreme temperatures of up to -45°F.

Heat – A glove’s ability to protect hands from heat is tested using ASTM F1060-18.

When it comes time to get to work, you can be confident doing your job knowing that we’ve done ours.

ABRASION TEST A glove’s ability to protect hands against injury from abrasions is tested using the ASTM D3389-94 standard.

PUNCTURE TEST A glove’s ability to protect hands against puncture injuries is tested using the EN 388 standard.

Buying Superior gloves is an investment - an investment in your employees’ safety and quality. Our gloves are designed and built to out-perform and out-last the competition – but you can get even more out of your investment. GLOVE LAUNDERING: GUIDELINES For a professional clean, our customer service representatives can recommend the best launderers in your area. If you would rather wash your gloves yourself, keep in mind that different materials require different treatments. The following are general guidelines for laundering different materials that you can use to extend the useful life of your gloves.

DYNEEMA ® OR TENACTIV ™ GLOVES

KEVLAR ® GLOVES

• Dyneema ® and TenActiv ™ can be washed, dry cleaned, or bleached, all without affecting the materials’ specific properties; you may wash and re-use the gloves many times as standard detergents, ammonium, sodium hydroxides, and hydrochloric acids are not known to affect the performance of the fiber Washing: 1. Wash in cold water of 104°F/40°C or less only 2. Tumble dry with low or no heat

• The cut-resistant qualities of Kevlar ® are inherent and remain unchanged over the life of the glove • Kevlar ® can be washed over and over without any effect on shrinkage, weight loss, or changes in tensile strength Detergent Wash: 1. Use approximately five pounds of commercial laundry soap or detergent per 100 pounds of Kevlar ® 2. Wash in hot water (170°F/75°C) 3. Wash for 20 minutes 4. Rinse with hot water 5. If necessary, repeat steps 3 and 4 6. Rinse in cold water 7. Tumble dry for 35 minutes at 155°F/70°C Dry Clean: 1. Pre-wash using perchloroethylene for 5 minutes 2. Drain 3. Wash for 20 minutes using perchloroethylene and twelve ounces of anionic surfactant per 100 pounds of Kevlar ® 4. Tumble dry at 140°F/60°C or less

One limitation of fibers such as these is hot temperatures – the fibers will not withstand temperatures (wet or dry) over 291°F/144°C

While resistant to many chemicals and solvents, Kevlar ® must never be bleached (oxygen ‘bleach’ can be used in place of chlorine bleach)

1. Wash with warm water (105°F/40°C) and regular detergent 2. Tumble dry at low or no heat

L E A T H E R

C O A T E D

1. Always dry clean leather 2. Think of leather as much like your own skin (it is in effect an animal’s skin); soap and water will remove leather’s natural oils and cause the gloves to become stiff and brittle

1. Wash in cold water (85°F/30°C or less) 2. Use a mild detergent 3. Tumble dry at low or no heat 4. Bleach is not recommended

COST SAVINGS If you’re not laundering your gloves, you could be missing out on tremendous cost savings. If you’re using gloves made from high-quality leather, TenActiv ™ , Dyneema ® , or Kevlar ® , laundering your gloves can significantly increase their useful life and result in substantial cost savings without impeding performance.

SIZING GUIDE

GLOVE SIZING GUIDE A proper fit is extremely important. An uncomfortable fit causes hand fatigue and ultimately could lead to a potential workplace hazard.

Measure the width of your hand from the base of your first finger and across your knuckles.

50 mm / 2 inches 63 mm / 2.5 inches 75 mm / 3 inches 88 mm / 3.5 inches

SLEEVE SIZING GUIDE To find the best fit, measure the circumference of your bicep and choose sizing according to the chart below.

Sleeves come in multiple lengths.
