Kimberly-Clark Professional introduces KleenGuard Kraken Grip Nitrile Gloves

Kimberly-Clark
June 17, 2019

Busy workers don’t have time for gloves that require frequent changeouts or don’t enable them to feel, grip and move freely. The solution?  New KleenGuard Kraken Grip Nitrile Gloves from Kimberly-Clark Professional.

Inspired by a legendary sea creature with a powerful grasp, these fully textured gloves help boost safety and performance by delivering strength and durability along with a reliable wet or dry grip. Plus, they’re recyclable through The RightCycle Program.

With KleenGuard Kraken Grip Nitrile Gloves, workers can handle oil, grease and solvents with ease and no longer have to waste time changing out less-durable gloves. Other benefits include:

  • A tread-like pattern on fingers and palms to help channel substances away from areas where grip is most critical
  • Powder-free moisture control and air circulation pockets for interior comfort
  • A black exterior that hides dirt and grime, to provide a professional appearance
  • Beaded cuffs to make donning easier and prevent roll-down

In addition, the 6 mil gloves are ZMBT free (California Prop 65 compliant) and ambidextrous. They are ideal for fabrication and machine work, small and large parts handling, chemical splash protection and other uses. 

For more information, visit www.KCProfessional.com/kleenguardpower.

Recyclable via The RightCycle Program

KleenGuard Kraken Grip Nitrile Gloves can be diverted from landfills through The RightCycle Program, the first large-scale recycling program for non-hazardous lab, cleanroom and industrial waste. The RightCycle Program turns used apparel, gloves and protective eyewear into new consumer goods. For more information, visit www.KCProfessional.com/RightCycle.
