COATS® (an acronym for Colloidal Oatmeal System) is a patented and unique nitrile glove technology. COATS® utilises the powerful benefits of all-natural oats, an FDA-recognised skin protectant, as a coating that forms a natural, moisturising barrier between the glove and skin. This acts as a preventative measure against skin irritation, and eliminates uncomfortable and irritating conditions experienced when wearing normal gloves. Users who suffer from dry and itchy skin due to frequent hand washing and glove usage can now rely on COATS® to soothe and nurture the skin, and protect their hands while they work.
