Projects
You are buying a glove today and it is not holding. This path starts from the glove in service: how its TPR is built and bonded, where the wear actually lands, how the coating behaves once the work turns oily or wet, and what the replacement has to survive. It covers a second source, a discontinued model, a quality problem that will not close, and a pair that costs more to replace than it should.
The trigger
Four problems bring buyers here, and all four are answered from the glove you are running now rather than from a catalogue.
TPR pads lifting or delaminating, adhesive sitting proud around a pad edge, coating abraded through at the palm, or a bond that survives the factory and lets go after a cold spell. A failure visible in a photograph is already a specific failure to work on.
The model is discontinued, the source has changed more than once, or the approved sample and the last delivery no longer feel, fit or photograph alike. The replacement then has to hold the approved revision, not only the flattering first batch.
It meets its level on paper and is too clumsy for the work, so the crew takes it off at the moment the risk is highest. Protection that gets removed is not protection, and the usual answer sits in the TPR run and its articulation rather than in a thicker pad.
The unit price is defensible and the replacement cycle is not: a pair written off in days costs a multiple of its invoice. Bring the cycle, the crew size and the site conditions, and the work is aimed at the cycle instead of the invoice.
What we need
Ask for the standard NDA before a drawing leaves your side. Drawings, photographs and samples that reach us are held under it, and nothing about your project is published without written agreement.
Input
Method
After you submit
A qualified B2B project is normally reviewed within one China business day. A replacement route then runs in this order, and it is allowed to stop at any stage.
01
The brief is read against the glove: TPR, liner, coating, materials, process, standard, tooling and the test requirement, with the volume and the timing that decide what can be quoted.
02
Where a physical sample reached us, the glove is compared against the configuration we would propose. Where only a model and photographs exist, that comparison is a hypothesis and is named as one.
03
Catalogue or light-custom, matched to what the benchmark found. Usually one to two weeks to prepare. A glove in the hand settles more than any written claim about it.
04
Where the answer has to survive a real crew, 100 to 500 pairs run on site against the current glove. This is the step that decides the project, and it is quoted as a paid pilot.
05
The revision that goes to production, its sizes and its packaging, the targets it has to hold — then the quote with the minimum, the production window, the payment basis and the terms of trade.

First reply
Commercial frame
A replacement that runs on a platform we already build is a mature order. If it needs a colour, a logo, packaging or a validated coating variant it becomes a light-customisation order, and the reply says which basis applies before anything is ordered.
Evidence and limits
A replacement is usually bought on a claim somebody has to defend later, so the claim has to be traceable to a configuration. This is the position we answer from.
The rating of the glove you run today does not transfer to its replacement. What transfers is the requirement: the wear it has to resist, the levels asked for, the sizes in service and the failure point the new glove is built around.
A performance result belongs to the configuration it was run on — a product code, a revision and a covered set of sizes. Change a material, the structure or a performance-relevant process and applicability is reviewed before that result is quoted again.
Where no report exists for a configuration, the record says so: a published configuration states whether it is Field Verified, Lab Verified or Not Verified, and a claim names its basis only when that basis exists. Certification and test evidence are answered per configuration and per market; nothing here is a brand-wide certification statement.
Honest limits
It is not a catalogue swap, and it is not a promise that the replacement will outperform the glove in service. The comparison is made and shown, not asserted.
It is not a certification service. We do not certify your glove, and we do not pass on another customer's report as evidence for your configuration.
It is not a way around a trial when the answer has to survive a crew on site, and it is not available below 3,000 pairs.
It is not a design studio: marketing copy, brand identity and retail packaging artwork are yours, though the configuration and its label position are agreed here. And it is B2B only — we do not sell to consumers.
Published accounts of replacement and upgrade projects. Each one states how far its evidence goes, and a record that was never granted permission to be named is either anonymised or absent.

One worn pair and the conditions behind it are enough for a first read. If you also hold the approved sample sheet, the reply gets sharper.
