What this glove is for

When the surface is wet, oily or contaminated, grip becomes part of the protection — not a comfort feature.

Pro Defender is EDMA’s industrial flagship: a powder-free nitrile glove with a raised diamond pattern across the palm and fingers. The 9 mil body is built for automotive work, industrial maintenance, agriculture, professional cleaning and other demanding single-use tasks where thin examination gloves can snag, tear or lose purchase.

The texture creates more contact edges around oily parts, wet tools and greasy surfaces. The supplied documentation classifies the glove as Category III PPE and EN ISO 374-1 Type B, with published EN 16523-1 classes for sodium hydroxide, formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. Those results define a test scope, not universal chemical resistance; selection still depends on the exact substance, concentration, temperature and expected contact time.

Pro Defender — full diamond texture — raised grip across palm and fingers
Full diamond gripA raised texture across palm and fingers increases contact with wet, dry, oily and greasy surfaces.
Nine-mil working strengthThe heavy-duty nitrile body adds resistance to common workshop rips, snags and tears without becoming rigid.
Published chemical classesThe supplied EN 16523-1 panel reports performance classes for three named substances rather than relying on a broad chemical-resistant claim.

11 · Instructions for use

As printed on the pack

    Use and disposal
  • Inspect the packaging and each glove for defects or imperfections before use.
  • Put the glove on gently without excessive force or tugging and keep fingernails short.
  • Change immediately if torn, punctured, contaminated or excessively soiled.
  • Single use only; dispose of used gloves in the correct waste stream for the handled material and local rules.
    Storage and task selection
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, fluorescent light and aggressive agents.
  • Keep climate-controlled storage below 104°F (40°C).
  • Shelf life is three years from the manufacture date printed on the box.
  • For chemical work, select the glove from the complete permeation report for the exact substance, concentration, temperature and expected contact time.
12 · How it is made

The line behind the box

The heavy-duty nitrile body is formed with a raised diamond pattern across the palm and fingers rather than a smooth or fingertip-only finish.

EDMA states that factories are inspected and audited, with randomised batch testing and certification under international quality-management systems.

Each production run is quoted with its current colour, specification, packing configuration and certification scope so the buyer can match the glove to the task and lot.
