Showa MFT PRO Gloves: Protection for Various Hazards

Showa's latest glove line, MFT PRO, built with a recently developed microfibre liner, address the vital issue of worker comfort and wearability as they allow moisture and sweat to evaporate quickly to prevent irritation and chafing.

The MFT PRO series includes four new general-purpose gloves, the MFT PRO 264, 344, 374, and 381. All incorporate the microfibre liner but are available with various coating types – Natural Rubber, PU Flat Nitrile, and Microporous Nitrile – for different applications.

“At Showa, we are dedicated to transforming users’ expectations for glove performance,” said Tony Lynch, Vice President, EMEA. “Showa’s MFT PRO line builds on the original Showa 381 model, and we are confident it will set new standards for comfort in the workplace.”

The product solutions work by combining Showa’s new microfibre technology with other high quality breathable materials to ensure that sweat does not build up during demanding tasks, delivering both comfort and exceptional performance. Featuring four-way stretch for maximum flexibility, Showa’s MFT PRO hand protection solutions have fast-drying technology for all-day comfort and an interchangeable breathable design with ventilated sections for optimal airflow.

With sustainability at the forefront of its design the MFT PRO products are machine washable and reusable. This durability not only extends their lifespan but also contributes to significant cost savings over time.

The incorporation of MFT PRO technology into its general-purpose gloves marks a continuation of SHOWA’s legacy of innovation, which includes pioneering the first PVC glove, the first disposable nitrile glove, and the first biodegradable single-use glove.

“By introducing MFT PRO, we’re leveraging the trust we’ve built to enhance glove performance and expand our range of hand protection options,” Lynch added.

With innovation at the heart of its mission, Showa remains focused on the future, with continued advancements in research and development. The company plans to announce additional product lines later this year, which will feature advanced technologies engineered for comfort, safety and sustainability.
