One faces a number of thermal risks at work. For the protection effect of the gloves it is important to differentiate between ambient heat or direct contact with hot objects. Risks are also involved when faced with extreme heat caused by fires, radiation etc.
Heat protection gloves should have wear resistance properties and also a certain level of cut resistance. The minimum wear and tear resistance according to EN 388 is specified for protection gloves of the EN 407.
Fire-resistant and heat-resistant protection gloves from Strauss offer day-to-day safety at work.
Testing Criteria:
Flammability: 0-4
Contact Heat Resistance: 0-4
Convective Heat Resistance: 0-4
Radiant Heat Resistance: 0-4
Resistance to small drops of molten metal: 0-4
Resistance to large quantities of molten metal: 0-4
The higher the number (shown with an X below the icon in the example), the better the test result.
