- Reference: Mumu-MLPF02
€10.00 Tax excluded
Description
Operator safety is a top priority in any textile printing workshop. Protection gloves for textile printing ensure optimal working conditions during printing and maintenance operations. These professional latex gloves effectively protect your hands from pigmented inks, aggressive solvents and chemical residues encountered daily. Compliant with EN 455 standards, they provide a reliable barrier while maintaining the dexterity required for precise technical handling. Regular use greatly improves production hygiene and prevents cross-contamination between different ink colours.
The importance of gloves in screen printing
Textile screen printing involves constant handling of plastisol inks and cleaning chemicals. This manual technique directly exposes operators to substances that may irritate the skin. Wearing protective gloves prevents any skin contact with ink and effectively reduces allergic reactions or irritation. Gloves also provide protection during screen cleaning, as well as when handling frames and squeegees with strong solvents.
MUMU latex gloves offer excellent tactile sensitivity for precise adjustments on screens. Their slightly textured surface ensures optimal grip even when handling slippery materials. The strength of the white latex allows prolonged use without risk of tearing during repeated handling. These disposable gloves make post-production cleaning much easier and help maintain a clean working environment.
Gloves for DTF printing – Machine maintenance and cleaning
Direct to Film printing requires regular and thorough maintenance to preserve print quality. Printer maintenance operations often expose technicians to pigmented inks and adhesive powders. Cleaning the printhead, maintaining the curing oven, and changing consumables all require adequate hand protection. Adhesive powder residues can cause skin irritation when in prolonged contact.
MUMU maintenance gloves provide a waterproof barrier against liquid cleaning agents and inks. Their latex composition offers excellent resistance to common solvents used in DTF applications. EN 455 certification guarantees compliance with European protection standards. These disposable gloves allow for quick removal after maintenance and prevent contamination of subsequent prints. Their thermal comfort makes extended interventions easier without excessive sweating.
Gloves for DTG printing – Safety during cleaning and maintenance
Direct To Garment printers require frequent maintenance to maintain consistent print quality. Cleaning the garment platen, purging the printheads, and replacing ink cartridges are daily tasks. These operations involve handling flush liquids and water-based inks that may irritate the skin. Preventive maintenance of Brother GTX or Epson printers requires appropriate protection.
Powder-free MUMU DTG gloves prevent any residue from being transferred onto textiles or platens. Their smooth finish avoids interference with fabric fibres during handling. These professional cleaning gloves combine tactile sensitivity with chemical resistance against maintenance products. Their natural elasticity allows for precise movements when replacing delicate components. Compliance with professional standards ensures reliable protection throughout use.
