You asked and we answered! Designed specifically to meet the needs of our customers, this brand-new glove boasts the same liner as our famous TG6240, but the difference between these two gloves is that the TG6250 features a crinkle latex coating in contrast with a nitrile foam coating.
How can a coating make much difference, we hear you ask. Take a look at some of the differences between a nitrile and crinkle latex coating:
- Nitrile foam coatings offer excellent grip in wet, dry and challenging conditions but crinkle latex coatings provide an all-superior level of grip in wet and dry conditions.
- Latex coated gloves boast a smaller carbon footprint, which is particularly applicable to the TG6250 where the latex used to coat the glove is all naturally sourced.

Sustainability
The TG6250 is part of our LXT range, which are certified carbon neutral from cradle to grave. This means that throughout the life of the product the carbon footprint is entirely accounted for. By proactively tackling a crucial environmental challenge and further reducing carbon impacts within our supply chain, this means that not only do we fulfil our responsibility, but we also assist our customers in meeting their own environmental goals.
In addition, the TG6250 sports a 100% latex coating which is a more sustainable option from the point of view that our factory partners in Sri Lanka have a rubber tree plantation. This means that Natural Rubber can be extracted with a lower CO2e impact due to more localised production and a reduction in fossil fuel derived content. The liner of the glove also contains 10% rPET, meaning that by using recycled content in the finished product, we are further reducing the product carbon footprint and contributing to the overall sustainability of the glove. Both the latex coating and the rPET content flawlessly ensure that this glove is fully aligned to our SBTi Net Zero Commitment and therefore aids in achieving the Scope 3 reduction goals of our customers.
By working closely with our customers, the TG6250 addresses their need for a glove that provides exceptional grip while positively contributing to their sustainability objectives. Moreover, it adheres to the TraffiSystem, assisting them in maintaining compliance with their hand safety policy and ensuring a consistent approach to safety measures for their workforce.
Is the TG6250 an upgrade of the TG6240?
Absolutely not. The TG6240 still remains our flagship glove and will also remain the preferable glove for many tasks. The TG6250 is an additional option that will be best suited to tasks such as glazing manufacture and installation and the handling of particularly rough materials such as bricks.
