Which is the best of the two different technologies regarding the processing of impact resistant gloves?

In the field of safety and protection, impact resistant gloves are widely used in construction, machine building, logistics, welding and other industries due to their excellent protective properties. These gloves are usually made with TPR (thermoplastic rubber) impact protection technology, which adds cushioning protection to the back of the hand or knuckle area to minimize the damage to the hands from external impacts. Currently, there are two main processing technologies on the market, hot press molding and stitch fixing, to fix the TPR material, so which one of these two technologies is better?

Heat Press Molding Technology

Heat Press Molding (Heat Press Molding) technology uses high temperature heating to melt and press the TPR material directly onto the glove fabric, making it fit firmly on the surface. This process is typically used for lightweight, highly dexterous protective gloves and ensures that the TPR is integrated into the glove, enhancing overall durability.

Features

• Higher fit: TPR is firmly bonded to the glove fabric by heat pressing, making it less likely to come off and increasing overall durability.
• Lighter and more flexible: the gloves are softer due to the lack of additional stitching, reducing hand fatigue for the user
• Good waterproof and stain resistance: TPR is tightly bonded to the fabric, which is not easy to get water in, and is suitable for wet or oily environments.
• More beautiful: hot press molding technology can achieve smooth integrated design, more different patterns to choose from, making the overall appearance of the gloves more professional and modern.

Stitching technology

Stitching technology utilizes industrial-grade sewing machines to sew the TPR module onto the glove surface with high-strength threads, making it more securely attached to the fabric. Typically, this process is used in high-intensity work scenarios, such as construction, heavy machinery, mining, and so on.

Features

• Higher durability: TPR is firmly fixed by the stitching, so it is not easy to fall off even after long time use or under extreme environment.
• Better tear resistance: The stitching reinforces the structure of the glove, so that even if the glove is damaged, the TPR module will remain in place and will not easily fall off.

Different processing techniques are suitable for different needs, and the choice depends on the specific environment and requirements.

In short, there is no absolute “best” processing technology, only the most suitable application scenario.
