Hand gloves in cotton, leather, and cut-resistant grades for welding, construction, glass handling, and general industrial work — stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, price on request.
Hand protection is the most frequently needed PPE in any workshop, construction site, or industrial operation — and the most frequently skipped when the right grade is not conveniently available. A cotton knitted glove provides basic grip and minor abrasion protection for material handling, but offers zero cut resistance and no protection against heat or flame. Using it for welding, grinding, or glass handling is a common shortcut that results in burns and lacerations.
Multi Trade Combines stocks three primary grades of hand glove to cover the main hazard categories encountered across Northeast India's industries. Cotton knitted gloves are the general-purpose workwear choice — used by tea-estate pluckers, material handlers, and light manufacturing workers for grip and basic hand protection during dry goods handling. They are available in standard sizes and in bulk packs for site consumption.
Leather gloves in the driver/rigger style protect hands from abrasion, rough material surfaces, and moderate heat. Riggers in lifting and handling operations, electrical linemen handling wire rope, and construction workers handling rebar and rough timber all use leather gloves as their standard PPE. The durability of leather over prolonged use makes it cost-effective for daily-wear applications.
Cut-resistant gloves address the specific hazard of sharp edges — glass sheets, sheet-metal blanks, saw blades, and cutting tools. The engineered-fibre or steel-core-yarn construction resists blade cuts that would slice through leather in a single contact. Glass dealers on Guwahati's Pan Bazar and Fancy Bazar commercial streets, sheet-metal fabricators in Amingaon, and automotive glass replacement shops are primary users of cut-resistant grades.
Pair hand gloves with safety goggles, safety helmet, and safety shoes for a complete PPE package — all stocked by Multi Trade Combines, your authorised KARAM and safety-equipment dealer in Guwahati since 1993.

Welding gloves are thick leather gauntlets that protect against UV radiation, spatter, and the radiant heat of the arc. Standard cotton or cut-resistant gloves are not flame-resistant and must never be used for welding. Multi Trade Combines stocks leather welding gauntlets alongside auto-darkening helmets and welding machines — buy the full PPE set when setting up a new welding station.
Yes. Cut-resistant gloves rated to EN 388 Level C or D are available for glass handling, sheet-metal fabrication, and blade or sharp-edge work. The cut-resistant grade uses HPPE (high-performance polyethylene) or steel-fibre knit fabric that resists blade cuts while remaining flexible enough for manual dexterity tasks.
