Heat Resistant, Welding,

Arc Flash & Flame-Resistant Gloves

Heat-resistant & gloves protect against burns. Knit and woven heat-resistant gloves and mitts, including aluminized and fiberglass gloves, are flexible and protect hands in extreme temperatures (up to 2000°). Leather gloves provide a balance of wear and abrasion resistance with dexterity. Mechanics-style gloves are comfortable and have good dexterity, Welding gloves are made of leather and other materials to protect workers from flames, heat, and sparks encountered when welding. MIG, TIG, and stick welding gloves have different features to accommodate different hazards for each type of welding, Arc flash and flame-resistant gloves are worn when performing maintenance work, de-energizing electrical panels, and when working on hot engines and machinery. Arc flash gloves are flame-resistant, but not all flame-resistant gloves are arc flash-rated. PPE category (CAT)-rated gloves (sometimes called hazard risk category (HRC)) are flame-resistant and meet NFPA 70E standards to protect workers from arc flash burns
