Comfort Grip Gloves – General Use
The lightweight heavyweight
Nitrile palm coating makes these gloves a light, flexible, abrasion-resistant and long lasting
alternative to many cotton and latex palm-coated gloves. They provide excellent grip, even
in wet or oily conditions.
The nylon stretch liner gives you a breathable, ‘second skin’ fit and makes these gloves
ideal for light- to medium-duty jobs that require precision handling, especially in hot and
sweaty conditions. The gloves are washable and feature a knit wrist cuff style.
Typical applications
ŔŔ General material handling
ŔŔ Handling small items
ŔŔ Electrical component assembly
ŔŔ Carpentry, plumbing, roofing
3M™
Comfort Grip Gloves – Cut Resistant
A cut above
These medium-duty gloves have the same features and comfort as the General Use Gloves with
even greater cut, puncture and tear resistance. They are excellent for jobs requiring dexterity
when handling sharp items.
The ANSI Cut Level 3, EN388 Cut Level 5 gloves are nitrile foam coated and washable. They
feature a knit wrist cuff style.
Typical applications
ŔŔ Handling abrasive or sharp materials
ŔŔ Forming, bending or machining sharp items
ŔŔ Cable pulling and wire handling

Cold Shrink
Invented over 40 years ago by 3M, 3M™
Cold Shrink Technology is designed to make cable
insulating, termination and abandonment as simple as possible.
The secret of 3M Cold Shrink technology lies inside it, in the form of a plastic coil. After the
3M™
Cold Shrink Tube has been placed over the joint or cable end, this inner spiral is pulled out.
The insulating tube then contracts to its pre-stretched size and shrinks onto the cable, exerting
constant radial pressure for the lifetime of the joint or termination.
ŔŔ Simple, tool-free installation
ŔŔ Constant radial pressure
ŔŔ Extensive quality and factory testing programmes
ŔŔ Lower installed cost – compared to many competitive products
ŔŔ Installation without the need for a heat source

Cold Shrink Pre-stretched Tubes
Cold Shrink tubes from 3M are a series of open-ended, tubular rubber sleeves, which are
factory expanded and assembled onto a removable core. Once the tube has been positioned
for installation the core is removed and allows the tube to shrink and form a waterproof seal.
Available in EPDM and silicone rubber.
