These gloves meet NFPA 70E for protection against arc-flash hazards. They are made with materials that protect against radiant heat and flames. All meet the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, which designates levels of cut resistance based on the force needed to cut through the material of the glove using a razor blade.

Lined to keep hands warm and coated to prevent cuts, these gloves are often worn for work with sharp tools in cold environments. They meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut, abrasion, puncture, and impact resistance.

All have an ANSI cut rating, which reflects the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. A4 is the common required minimum in industrial settings. The higher the rating, the more protection they provide. Gloves rated A4 are good for jobs involving sharp-edged materials such as sheet metal and glass. Choose A5 or A6 when using cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. A7 are ideal when working with sharp metal stamps, presses, and knives for food processing. Use A8 when handling needles, spikes, and bulky objects with sharp edges.

Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards for resistance to abrasive surfaces, tears, cuts, and punctures—similar to ANSI/ISEA 105.

Gloves that meet EN 511 adhere to European standards for protection against touching cold surfaces.

Gloves with a reinforced thumb have extra material between the thumb and pointer finger for added durability.

Also known as wave solder gloves, wear these to avoid damaging static-sensitive electronic parts. They have a nitrile coating that protects hands while soldering.

Handle everything from frozen samples to freshly soldered circuit boards without contaminating your clean room. These mitts protect your hands between -75° and 390° F. They don’t shed fibers, so your clean room stays clean. Compared to gloves, they’re easier to slip on and off—and they can even be worn over gloves—but aren’t a good choice when you need high dexterity. These mitts meet EN 374 standards for protection against chemicals. They’ll also shield your hands from solder and fluxes in welding areas.

The lining withstands intermittent heat, while the outer layer of material acts as a barrier to chemicals and solvents. All of these gloves are textured on the fingers and palm for added grip.

Neoprene gloves with a cotton or fleece lining handle higher temperatures than nitrile/neoprene gloves, but they’re also thicker.

FDA compliant gloves are safe for use with food.

Designed for intermittent handling of hot pipes, engine parts, and castings, these gloves protect your hands from moderate heat and some abrasion. Holding heavy objects may decrease temperature rating.

Gloves that are palm coated have an uncoated backside that makes them more comfortable and breathable. Gloves that are fully coated provide the same protection on the front and back of the hand.

Neoprene-coated gloves withstand washes with detergents and other cleaning agents and maintain their heat resistance.

Gloves with nitrile grip are textured to help grasp glass, slippery plastics, and oily machine parts.

Use gloves with knit cuffs for a secure fit. Gloves with open cuffs are more convenient to put on and take off than other gloves.
