Protection Ratings for HexArmor 8100 Foundry Safety Gloves

EN 388

• 4X22F

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves’ performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric’s abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

Standard	Resistance Rating
Abrasion Resistance	Level 4
Cut Resistance	N/A
Tear Resistance	Level 2
Puncture Resistance	Level 2
ISO Cut Resistance	Level F

EN 407

• X2XXXX

EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:

Standard	Resistance Rating
Burning Resistance	N/A
Contact Heat Resistance	Level 2 (250°C)
Convective Heat Resistance	N/A
Radiant Heat Resistance	N/A
Resistance to Small Molten Splashes	N/A
Resistance to Large Molten Splashes	N/A

SuperFabric Protection

Serious about heavy-duty protection, SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution for preventing needle and knife incisions. It is the layer that prevents a serrated edge, needle or blade end from breaking through your glove and causing serious injury to your hand.

Incredible Level F Cut Resistance Rating

Use tools and heavy-duty equipment in your line of work? Level F cut-resistance is a must. It’s the gold standard for ratings and is the difference between a blade or sharp tool causing serious, life-changing damage and it becoming lodged between the tightly woven, cut-resistant fibres that make up the HexArmor Foundry Gloves’ outer shell.

Safe and Secure Heated Transfer

An obvious concern for foundry workers is heated transfer. Rest assured, HexArmor have taken that into consideration. Using 13ozs of padded material and a heat resistant outer shell, you can safely transfer material with a temperature of up to a whopping 250°C. Material can also be held for up to fifteen seconds with causing damage.
