TPR impact protection · Made to order
STRATAGRIP supplies PPE brands, importers, industrial safety distributors and end users who have to defend what they put in the field. We start from the glove you are using now — where it fails, how it grips, how its TPR is built — and every published configuration keeps its own recorded specification and evidence status.
Send us the glove that is in service now. It is the shortest route to a worked-through answer.
What comes back: a construction review, the failure point we can see, TPR, grip and reinforcement observations, a performance target, the recommended configuration and the sample route. Where the information supplied is not enough to conclude, the answer says which parts are engineering hypotheses rather than test results.
Project paths
Four ways buyers reach us. Each path page states what we need from you, what we do with it, and which decisions it settles.
Path 01 · Replacement
You have a working SKU and it is not holding: TPR lifting or delaminating, wear at the palm or thumb crotch, fit and colour drifting between batches. We work from the glove in use, its failure points and what it has to survive.
Path 02 · Range
You have a range and a gap in it: one impact model, positioned and specified, without rebuilding the rest of the line. We match it against the applications it has to cover and the positions it has to hold.
Path 03 · Own brand
Your brand, your packaging, your range: light customisation inside a stated boundary, with the evidence position answered per configuration instead of assumed, and commercial conditions held in one place.
Path 04 · Development
Tooling, TPR geometry and development work where the platform is yours to define. Ownership, dormancy and the validation path are agreed before any irrecoverable cost is committed.
The evaluation takes the glove you are using now and returns the construction review, the failure point, the performance target and the sample route.
Who we work with
STRATAGRIP works B2B only, and every product we make carries TPR impact protection. Four buyer types decide what this site says and what we develop.
You sell under your own name, and you need an impact glove that differs in the hand as well as on the shelf, plus repeat production that matches the approved sample and revision.
You buy from Asia and sell into a local channel. A stable specification, a SKU set that fits that channel and a second order that arrives like the first matter more than a headline price.
You keep a working range available across many sites. Replenishment, fit within the range you already carry, and margin through the channel decide what stays on the shelf.
You feel it on site: wear at the wear points, grip that goes once the work is oily or wet, cut combined with impact, and the cost of replacing gloves per crew per month.
What brings buyers here
The trigger is rarely “we need gloves”. It is a failure, a drift between batches, or a number that will not come down.
Why this supplier
We sell into procurement, so a claim has to survive an audit trail. This is the trail we keep.
TPR design, production and bonding sit with one dedicated capability, so pad geometry and adhesion are controlled at the source rather than assembled from whatever a subcontractor happens to supply. Sewing and dipping run in controlled units against the approved revision, and more than one approved unit in the network keeps capacity resilient without an uncontrolled switch of manufacturing.
A shipped batch carries an identifier: product code, batch code, size and date code, on the label, polybag, inner box or master carton. Internally the chain runs from customer and PO through product code and revision, production batch, material lot, manufacturing unit and tooling to QA release and shipment. Production complete is not the same as released: a consignment is not released until QA, the required tests, quantity, packaging and documents are confirmed.
A test report is evidence for the configuration it was run on. It is tied to a product code, a revision and a covered configuration, and a change to material, structure or performance triggers an applicability review before that result is quoted again. Where no report exists for a configuration, the record says so, and the configuration states whether its evidence is Field Verified, Lab Verified or Not Verified.
Where the evidence lives
Six doors into the same record set: case studies for what changed and what it was measured against; the problem library for failure points, diagnosis and the revision that answered them; insights for engineering reviews of TPR architecture, grip and testing; resources for the documents buyers ask for; standards notes written for the buying side rather than copied from the standard; and the buyer questions we are asked most, each answered with a link to the page that owns the fact.
