These gloves are popular in construction. glass manufacturing, warehousing, and general materials handling. They should not be used around hydrocarbon, organic solvents, flames, or people with a latex allergy.
Why you should choose Polyurethane Coated gloves...
Polyurethane gloves are the value work glove - low particulate shed, good touch sensitivity, breathability, dexterity - you name it. These gloves grip well without being sticky but also have good tensile strength and are abrasion-resistant. This coating is ideal for jobs that require small parts handling, such as aeronautics, electronics, glass/sheet metal handling, or in clean rooms.
PU is a thin coating that provides a good grip in dry and oily conditions and is the most durable of any coating. PU contains no latex proteins and is incredibly tough but still very comfortable and flexible. This coating is specially used on knitted glove liners and other textile material glove bases.

Keep the grip in mind...
Grip is the main component of a glove and different coatings offer varying types of grips that can affect what environments they work best in.
Five main grips:
Look to GGS for everything from ANSI-rated cut-resistant gloves to chemical-resistant gloves to leather work gloves. Effective hand protection minimizes or eliminates many hand injuries, which are the second leading cause of workplace injuries. Innovative hand protection from Global Glove has you covered for the job at hand.
