What to Know: OSHA’s Change MSDSs to SDSs

In 2012, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) updated its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). The revision sought to make the HCS align more closely with international compliance and provide a more standardized approach to the formatting of OSHA’s material safety data sheets (MSDSs), which will transition to safety data sheets (SDSs). Additionally, the update implemented new labeling requirements. These changes will make the HCS closer to standards of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

Orange Nitrile: Give Your Sales Team the Best

Gloveworks Heavy Duty Orange Nitrile Gloves have an aggressive texture for superior grip. While AMMEX Corporation is typically known for black nitrile gloves, we stepped outside of the box to deliver a product most people have not seen before.  Orange Nitrile: Give Your Sales Team the Best!

Unique color for high visibility
One of the first things you will notice about our orange nitrile gloves is their bright color. We ramped up our nitrile gloves with a hue that will be seen even in dark environments, including garages and industrial environments. This color means no more lost gloves and is a fitting match for other brightly colored personal protective equipment.

Heavy, aggressive texture for strong grip and durability
These ambidextrous gloves also have a diamond-raised texture on both sides for a non-slip grip. This texture is present on the palms and fingertips and particularly helpful for oily environments. As a result, automotive, manufacturing and industrial technicians who handle tools do not have to worry about their equipment sliding out of their hands while they work on vehicles and machines.

Sample This Product

Not only does this texture provide superior grip, it also offers additional thickness for increased durability. In fact, our orange nitrile gloves are three times more puncture resistant than latex. In addition, the texture does not compromise comfort, as the gloves are more elastic than vinyl and conform to hands as they are warmed by body heat.

These gloves feature a beaded cuff to stop ripping and tearing at the base. This feature also makes the gloves easier to don. 

Added thickness for superb chemical resistance
If you think visibility, durability and grip are all impressive features of our orange nitrile gloves, wait until you hear about their chemical resistance. The extra thickness allows wearers to work with harsh chemicals such as iodine, butane and pesticides for a longer period of time before they have to change gloves, allowing for greater cost savings due to fewer glove changes.

How to Differentiate a Commodity

There are specific challenges associated with selling commodities. The term commodity generally applies to agricultural products like soybeans or corn – products in which each unit is the same no matter where you buy them. However, consumers see any product as a commodity if they could buy it anywhere – for instance, a specific brand of gum. It is notoriously challenging to sell commodities because customers assume they are interchangeable and will buy them wherever they are able to obtain the best deal.

Glove Potential in Restaurants

The restaurant industry represents one of the greatest opportunities for glove sales. According to data from the National Restaurant Association, there are roughly 1 million restaurant locations in the U.S. and 14 million restaurant employees. On top of that, workers in food service use gloves more than employees in just about any other industry.
