Hartalega COATS® (an acronym for colloidal oatmeal system) is a patented and unique nitrile glove technology. COATS® utilises the powerful benefits of all-natural oats, an FDA-recognised skin protectant, as a coating that forms a natural, moisturising barrier between the glove and skin. This acts as a preventative measure against skin irritation, and eliminates many of the uncomfortable and irritating conditions experienced when wearing normal gloves.
