Heta manufactures reusable safety gloves;
The Niko – a high-performing, lightweight, Cut A safety glove; protecting your hands in low-risk, general purpose applications.
The Mack – a lightweight, durable, Cut C glove. It allows for dexterity, while protecting the wearer for a range of medium-risk tasks.
The Sterling – a waterproof, superior Cut E glove. It provides excellent wet grip for handling glass, metal sheets, and small sharp components.
The Magnus – superior Cut F resistance with superb grip, making it the perfect choice for protecting your hands in high cut risk areas.
We also stock two styles of disposable gloves which are both chemical resistant and include our Chemical Grip Glove which provides a textured surface for improved grip and our Biodegradable Glove which is also medical grade and fully biodegradable.
Heta’s reusable gloves (The Niko, The Mack, The Sterling & The Magnus) are all washable, we recommend you read the care label and follow all washing guidance. Please note that if your Heta gloves show any signs of wear, or are so heavily soiled that washing does not restore them to a pristine state, you should dispose of the gloves. Our two disposable gloves can be washed whilst wearing (in the sink, as you would your hands) to minimise substance contamination, however they should be disposed of once removed.
To find out your glove size, check out the Heta sizing guide.
Although our parent company sell a wide range of PPE and workwear, at Heta we specialise in safety gloves. Protecting hands at work is our mission and we believe that being focussed on that goal delivers a superior safety glove.
