Polyco Granite 5 Delta Burn and Cut Resistant Gloves 893

Standard safety gloves can burn, ignite and smoulder when exposed to flame, causing serious damage to your hands and causing the further spread of fire and flame. Polyco Granite 5 Delta Burn and Cut Resistant Gloves 893 prevent flame and afterglow lingering on your gloves, and feature maximum abrasion, tear and puncture resistance for volatile handling applications where jagged and sharp material are being handled regularly

What’s Included?

• 1 x Pair of Cut and Heat Safe Gloves

Which Size Polyco Granite 5 Gloves Are Right for Me?

To find the perfect one for you, simply measure the circumference of your palm (ignoring the thumb area) and the length of your hand as indicated in the image below. Once you have your measurements, please consult the sizing chart below to find the correct size for your hand.

Size	Circumference of Palm (mm)	Length of Palm (mm)
Size 8 (Medium)	203mm	182mm
Size 9 (Large)	229mm	192mm
Size 10 (Extra Large)	254mm	204mm

Protecion Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388

• EN 388: 4X44E

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 4
Puncture Resistance	Level 4
ISO Cut Resistance	Level E

EN 407

• 41XX4X

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	Level 4
Contact Heat Resistance	Level 1 (100°C)
Convective Heat Resistance	N/A
Radiant Heat Resistance	N/A
Resistance to Small Molten Splashes	Level 4
Resistance to Large Molten Splashes	N/A

Brilliant EN 388 Mechanical Resistance Ratings

Polyco Granite 5 Delta Safety Gloves have maximum abrasion, tear and puncture resistance, demonstrating their incredible all-round resistance in the face of common mechanical workplace hazards. They also feature Level E cut resistance, which means their fabric can withstand up to an incredible 30 newtons of downward force applied by a sharp implement before showing signs of damage.

Maximum Flame and Burn Resistance

Level 4 burn and flame resistance indicates that a glove will burn for a maximum of two seconds and have an “afterglow” for a maximum of 5 seconds once the source of the ignition is removed. This demonstrates just how protective the flame-resistant fibres that make up a Polyco Granite 5 Glove are, as they prevent consistent burning in the unfortunate event that a glove catches fire.

Shield Against Flame

If you work around open flame, you need guarantees that if your glove catches fire, it isn’t going to continue burning. Polyco Granite 5 Gloves use fabric that smoulders itself, causing flame to dissipate within five seconds of the ignition source being removed.  This maximises protection and is ideal for certain oil and gas, automotive and manufacturing professionals who frequently encounter open flames during their workday.

Reinforced Thumb Crotch Benefits

The thumb crotch and general thumb area on a pair of gloves is an inherently weak spot as this is where two separate cuts of fabric traditionally meet. A reinforced thumb crotch refers to the bolstering of this area with extra layers of flexible fabric, to prevent rips, tears and splits.

Additional fabric in the area also helps maximise grip strength, as the curvature of the thumb and index finger suddenly becomes stronger and more stable, preventing you from dropping objects and stopping your grip from slipping when you’re carrying material. 

Enhanced Comfort for Sustained Wear

If you can’t wear your gloves all day, you’re compromising your safety and limiting your workplace potential. The yarn used to manufacture the foundation fabric of a Polyco Granite 5 Delta Glove is spun with a soft and delicate finish in order to maximise comfort and increase the amount of time the user can wear their gloves for.

Double Stitched Kevlar Thread

Kevlar is a synthetic material manufactured using a tightly woven collection of aramid fibres that are spun until the bond formed between them is too tight to separate. It is used in cut-resistant clothing and gloves because the lack of gaps between the fibres means a blade cannot easily pierce or puncture through it.

Kevlar is the gold-standard when it comes to cut protection. Its fibres are so tight that when a blade tip comes into contact with them, it cannot easily penetrate through, causing the tip to jam before it can reach the skin.
