Description
The Laatu TouchMaster general-purpose glove 2004 for touchscreens is a touchscreen-compatible general-purpose and installation glove whose level of mechanical protection meets the EN 388:2016 classification 4121X. The glove is designed especially for tasks that require constant finger dexterity, a good grip and the ability to use digital devices without taking the glove off. The flexible construction of the body ensures a snug, ergonomic fit.
The back of the glove is made of a blend of polyester and elastane that keeps the back of the hand open and freely breathable. This choice of material prevents heat building up inside the glove and improves comfort in long tasks. The flexible elastane lets the material stretch with the movements of the hand without excessive pressure.
The palm and fingertips are coated with smooth polyurethane (PU). This polyurethane dip raises the glove’s abrasion resistance to the highest level of the standard (level 4), which significantly extends the life of the product under mechanical stress. The smooth PU surface provides optimal friction for handling dry parts, tools and components.
The electrical conductivity of the material and coating allows seamless operation of capacitive touchscreens. This makes the glove an effective solution for environments where physical mechanical installation work constantly alternates with digital data collection or device control.
Intended use and suitability:
The glove is suitable for dry installation and logistics environments where abrasion resistance and the need to use smart devices are important.
- Car repair workshops and service centres: The high level 4 abrasion resistance withstands handling mechanical parts, and the touchscreen feature allows the use of fault code readers and diagnostic devices.
- Warehouse logistics: The smooth PU coating provides a secure grip on packaging materials, and touchscreen support speeds up operating barcode scanners and handheld computers.
- General installation work: The flexible, breathable polyester-elastane body guarantees precise finger dexterity when handling small components and fasteners.
Package contents:
- 1 pair (individual pack)
Features:
The technical solutions of the glove maximise durability and the productivity of digital workstations.
- Touchscreen feature: Allows capacitive screens to be used with the fingertips without taking the glove off.
- Level 4 abrasion resistance: The highest abrasion resistance class of the EN 388 standard (4121X) guarantees a long service life under mechanical wear.
- Smooth PU coating: The polyurethane coating on the palm and fingertips provides a secure grip in dry conditions and protects against dirt.
- Breathable back: The uncoated back of the hand allows ventilation and reduces hand sweating.
- Ergonomic fit: The flexible material and elastic knit cuff at the wrist ensure precise fingertip feel.

Laatu TouchMaster general-purpose glove 2004 for touchscreens instructions for use:
Inspect the product visually before use to make sure the coating has no wear and the seams have no tears. Choose the size that fits your hand from the size chart (sizes 6-11) to ensure the best possible finger dexterity. Put the glove on by pulling it gently by the elastic knit cuff at the wrist until the fingers sit snugly right to the tips of the glove. When using touchscreens, operate the device with the coated area of the fingertips. Take the gloves off by pulling from the fingertips. Machine washing of the product is not recommended, because mechanical washing can weaken the protective properties and electrical conductivity of the PU coating.
Warnings:
Physical limitations and safety risks of using the product.
- Mechanical risks: The product only provides level 1 cut protection (EN 388: 4121X). Do not use it in tasks that involve handling sharp objects or blades.
- Entanglement hazard: Do not use the glove near rotating machine parts or equipment because of the risk of getting caught.
- Chemical and liquid risks: The back of the glove is completely uncoated. The product does not protect against chemicals, oils or liquids.
- Thermal risks: The materials (polyester, polyurethane) can melt. Do not expose to hot surfaces or open flames.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What does the EN 388 protection rating 4121X mean for this glove?
The rating shows the mechanical durability of the glove. The first number, ‘4’, means the highest possible abrasion resistance (on a scale of 1-4). The other values are cut protection (1), tear resistance (2) and puncture protection (1). ‘X’ means that the ISO cut test has not been carried out.
How does the Laatu TouchMaster 2004 differ from an ordinary installation glove?
The TouchMaster 2004 combines the highest level 4 abrasion resistance with electrically conductive material, which lets you control capacitive touchscreens without taking the glove off, saving time in tasks that use digital devices.
Does the glove breathe in physically demanding work?
Yes. The palm of the glove is PU dipped, but the back of the hand is left completely uncoated. The polyester-elastane material of the body lets body heat and moisture escape through the back of the hand.
Recycling instructions:
Used polyurethane-coated gloves must be disposed of as mixed waste or taken to incinerable waste for energy production. The synthetic materials of the product (polyester, elastane, PU) are not suitable for textile recycling. If the glove has been exposed to hazardous waste (such as oils or chemicals), it must be disposed of in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations.
