The manufacturer QRP (PIP) is known, among other things, for its production of high-quality disposable finger cots for cleanrooms, although there are also models that are suitable for ESD-sensitive areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

What are finger cots from QRP?<\/h2>\n\n

The term finger cots<\/strong> can lead to misunderstandings, as this term is used to describe both protective gl<\/strong> ove equivalents<\/strong> that are pulled over only one finger<\/strong> at a time (one-finger gloves) and gloves that do not cover the fingers. This article is about protective glove equivalents that are pulled over one finger at a time. Finger cots differ, among other things, in the materials they are made of – such as latex, nitrile, rubber, vinyl or silicone – and in their suitability for ESD-sensitive areas. <\/p>\n\n

QRP Gloves<\/strong> was a company that had been producing disposable protective gloves and finger cots for the electronics and high-tech industries, among others, since the 1970s. QRP is an abbreviation that stands for “Quality, Reliability, Performance”. From the very beginning, the founder of QRP, Bill Casselman, was also concerned with using his finger cots to protect the object that is touched with the finger cots. <\/p>\n\n

In 2019, the company QRP Gloves was acquired by Protective Industrial Products (PIP)<\/strong>, PIP being a leading global supplier of personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective gloves. QRP is now a PIP brand. <\/p>\n\n
