Anti-heat gloves

Like technical protective gloves, heat-resistant gloves are part of personal protective equipment (generally known by the acronym PPE). They are used in almost all fields, from industry to mechanics, including catering. Wearing heat-resistant gloves reduces all risks associated with handling. This includes burns, cuts, abrasions, cold as well as irritations. There is a wide choice of glove models to avoid any risk of burns, but you are asking questions: What standard for heat-resistant gloves? What are the advantages of this equipment?

Our selection of work gloves offers complete protection for all situations. Choose from a variety of styles, such as work gloves, leather work gloves, the anti-impact gloves, disposable gloves , welding gloves, mittens, the chemical protection gloves, nitrile gloves, handling gloves, the anti-cut gloves, latex gloves, and anti-cold gloves.

Professional heat-resistant gloves: the standards to know

Before getting to the heart of the matter, you should know that not all protective gloves have the same references. The same goes for European manufacturing standards. For example, a mechanic does not necessarily wear the same equipment as a tree pruner or even a chef.

Regarding heat-resistant gloves, in particular, they must comply with the EN 407 standard. We often think that they are only intended for welders. But anyone in contact with heat is obliged to wear one, as a precaution.

The EN 407 standard establishes the level of performance of the heat-resistant glove. Each criterion will be evaluated on a scale of 1 to 4. And the higher the indices (levels), the more the risks decrease.

The evaluation criteria are distributed as follows:

• A: fire behavior (duration of flame persistence)
• B: resistance to contact heat
• C: resistance to convective heat
• D: resistance to radiant heat
• E: resistance to small splashes of liquid metal (number of drops necessary to obtain a temperature increase of 40°C)
• F: resistance to large splashes of molten metal (mass of molten iron necessary to cause a superficial burn in grams)
• X: not tested for this hazard

Why wear a heat-resistant glove in the industrial sector, in the kitchen, etc.?

Wearing a heat-resistant glove is above all a guarantee of safety. As mentioned above, this personal protective equipment reduces the risk of burns, whatever they may be. It can, for example, protect you from the heat when you remove a dish from your electric oven or when you open a wood stove. Professionals will be able to have peace of mind when they carry out this or that task.

The heat-resistant glove is also intended to be a practical solution. From the choice of material to the design of the equipment, everything has been carefully thought out to offer the user maximum comfort. He will not feel any discomfort and will be able to handle the accessories and machines of his choice without the slightest difficulty. To adapt to all requests, heat-resistant gloves are available in several sizes.

Our advice for finding the best heat-resistant gloves

Be careful, not all commercially available heat-resistant gloves are created equal. To have the guarantee of purchasing a reliable and quality product, certain parameters must be taken into account. At the top of the list is the EN 407 standard. It is important to always check whether the equipment carries this label. This attests not only to its conformity, but also to the fact that it has been duly tested before being marketed. Also choose heat-resistant gloves made by known and recognized brands. It is above all a question of quality.

To satisfy all tastes and styles, heat-resistant gloves are available in several models. The main thing to remember is that it is important to invest in quality equipment.

Where to buy high temperature heat resistant gloves?

Oxwork offers you on its website numerous models of heat-resistant gloves to avoid any risk of burns to your hands and forearms during handling in your profession. You will find a selection with the best value for money.

Heat resistant gloves are crucial personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers exposed to high thermal environments, such as welders, soldering professionals and other occupations requiring thermal protection. These gloves, often made of leather, crust, or with a Kevlar lining, offer an effective barrier against heat, splashes of molten metal and the risk of cuts. Some models, like those from Singer Safety, incorporate advanced thermal properties for added protection. The extended cuff provides optimal wrist coverage, protecting the forearm from potential splashes.

Some heat-resistant gloves also have a nitrile coating, improving water resistance and making washing easier. The size, part number, and product batch allow workers to select the gloves adapted to their specific needs. User ratings and reviews play a crucial role in glove selection, providing practical information on the durability, comfort and effectiveness of these PPE. Whether for welding, hot product handling work or other tasks requiring thermal protection, heat-resistant gloves are essential to keep workers safe in extreme thermal conditions. Availability in pairs or in batches facilitates the management of equipment in the workplace, guaranteeing constant protection against thermal risks.
