5 Towa What makes Towa gloves so successful? Ergonomic shape: In the eyes of TOWA, the most important step in developing a glove is the development of the ideal hand shapes. Extensive research in this area makes TOWA gloves unmatched in terms of fit. TOWA rigorously guards these unique hand shapes as they are the key difference in TOWA gloves to those of other manufacturers. Quality control: TOWA gloves are characterised by uncompromising quality. TOWA was the first Japanese manufacturer whose work was awarded ISO 9002 in 1994 and ISO 9001 in 2000 for quality control. Gloves protect the physical integrity of the user; safety is therefore paramount for TOWA. MicroFinish® and NANOFinish® TOWA has spent a long time developing a technology that offers safety, comfort and, above all, maximum grip. The process patented by TOWA ensures maximum grip with minimum hand fatigue in wet or oily conditions. Most conventional gloves recommended for slippery applications have a rigid coating with a roughened surface but only use a small part of the surface for grip. MicroFinish® and NanoFinish®, however, take a different approach. Founded in 1947 in Japan, TOWA has developed into a global specialist in dipped gloves. TOWA developed the first dipped glove in the sixties. TOWA gloves are now sold in over 30 countries on 5 continents. The remarkable grip is achieved with a soft and flexible coating in which thousands of microscopically small air pockets are captured. When these pockets come into contact with surfaces, they create a vacuum and displace liquid, meaning that almost the entire glove surface grips the object. TOWA MicroFinish® gloves are, in contrast to conventional latex or nitrile foam coated gloves, impermeable to liquid. NanoFinish® is a further development of MicroFinish. NanoFinish® increases the number of pockets and their size to create a flatter surface for more friction, resulting in impressive dry adhesion. By completely redesigning the manufacturing process and the formulation, we have succeeded in making the nitrile softer and obtaining a highly flexible coating. Another advantage of the NanoFinish® coating is its long-lasting grip. The pockets in the coating are so small that dirt, soil or sawdust cannot penetrate them and impair their absorbency. The grip of the glove remains constant throughout its entire service life. no compromises on the quality of the coating pre-curved finger structure no fillers unique TOWA fit ‘suction cup system’ provides maximum grip seamless fabric – no pressure points
