Master Oily & Wet Hand Hazards: Why the PIP ActivGrip™ 56-AG585 Belongs in Your Shop

Handling slick, oil-soaked parts or operating machinery under wet conditions presents a double challenge on the shop floor: maintaining a solid hold while protecting your hands from liquid permeation, abrasions, and skin irritation. Standard coated work gloves often slip or soak through, forcing workers to constantly pause, wipe down tools, or change gear.

The PIP ActivGrip™ 56-AG585 Nitrile Coated Glove solves this problem by combining full liquid barrier protection with advanced suction-grip technology.

The Technology Behind the Grip

1. MicroFinish® Micro-Suction Technology

Unlike traditional textured coatings that try to push liquids away, PIP’s patented MicroFinish® surface features a revolutionary surface treatment that acts like microscopic suction cups. When exposed to dry, wet, or oily conditions, these tiny surface indentations create a secure grip on slick surfaces, preventing dangerous slippage without requiring extra hand force.

2. Seamless Cotton Liner

Liquid-resistant gloves can quickly become hot and uncomfortable. The 56-AG585 addresses this with a soft, seamless cotton liner. It absorbs interior moisture, prevents hot spots, and delivers tremendous comfort and a better fit during long shifts.

3. Liquid Permeation Barrier

The MicroFinish® coating provides excellent resistance to liquid permeation, ensuring your hands stay protected from oils, lubricants, and chemical liquids.

4. Extended 10" Forearm Protection

With an overall length of 10 inches, these gloves extend past the wrist to shield your lower forearm against chemical splash hazards, oil spray, and sharp material edges.

5. Proven Mechanical Ratings (EN 388: 4121X)

Beyond grip and liquid protection, the 56-AG585 delivers strong protection against punctures and abrasions (Level 4 Abrasion), extending the life of each pair in tough environments.
