Kevlar Gloves – Beyond Imagination Tough And Comfortable!

With the rapid development of industrial production, workplace safety issues are receiving increasing attention. Kevlar gloves stand out for their excellent protective performance among the many personal protective equipment. Whether in metal processing, glass manufacturing, auto repair, or construction sites, kevlar gloves heat resistant can provide workers’ hands with the necessary protection against cuts, abrasions, and impact injuries.

High temperature-resistant gloves are designed with the user’s comfort and flexibility in mind. They not only protect the hands from injury but also ensure that the hands can move freely without affecting work efficiency. In addition, the durability of Kevlar work gloves reduces the frequency of replacement, thereby reducing the operating costs of enterprises.

In modern industry, the importance of gloves is reflected in their protective functions and contribution to improving production efficiency and protecting employee health. With the advancement of technology and the development of new materials, the performance and application range of Kevlar gloves heat resistant will continue to expand, providing a more solid guarantee for industrial safety.

What are the characteristics of Kevlar gloves?

Due to Kevlar fiber’s excellent properties, these cut-resistant gloves perform better than ordinary gloves.

(1) Heat resistance – kevlar cut-resistant gloves can withstand high temperatures up to 500℃. It is very suitable for handling hot objects in industrial applications and daily use, such as aluminum extrusion, ceramics, steel plates, casting, welding, kitchen, bakery, etc.

(2) Non-flammable – Kevlar is a new technology material with a limiting oxygen index greater than 28. Therefore, High-temperature resistant gloves are only flame retardant but not burning. And there are no molten droplets or toxic gas in contact with fire.

(3) Cut protection – Gloves made of Kevlar have high abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. In addition, kevlar work gloves can achieve level 5 cut protection. This means that it can prevent extreme cutting hazards such as metal stamping, glass products, etc.

Structure and protection principle

High-temperature resistant layer

This is the first line of defense against direct contact with hot objects. It does not undergo physical changes such as burning, carbonization, etc. under high-temperature conditions. At the same time, flame retardancy is also very important to prevent the spread of fire. Therefore, this layer is an indispensable part of heat-resistant gloves. It determines the highest temperature resistance of the gloves. In other words, High-temperature resistant gloves can withstand temperatures up to 500℃ due to the Kevlar high-temperature resistant layer.

Insulation layer

The second line of defense of heat-resistant gloves is the insulation layer. Heat is conducted from the surface of the first layer of Kevlar fiber to the inside. Then the insulation layer effectively blocks the transfer of heat. This layer determines the single contact time of the gloves with hot objects, providing better protection for the user. That is why it is also called a thermal protection layer.

Comfort layer

For most heat-resistant gloves, the inner layer-the flame-retardant comfort layer is breathable and can absorb sweat. This layer makes the gloves more comfortable and allows users to perform various tasks easily.

Here are some questions that many people ask:

How many types of Kevlar gloves are there?

Yellow Kevlar Safety Gloves: The gloves have a covering for each finger, which makes them more flexible for the wearer. If the task requires a high degree of hand mobility, gloves are generally considered better than mittens.

100% Kevlar Mitten: The gloves usually look like a pocket that covers the entire hand, and a single thumb cover may or may not be present. Therefore, it provides superior protection than gloves and is easy to put on and take off. The only disadvantage is the lack of flexibility.

Kevlar Gauntlet: It can be considered a Kevlar glove/mitten with an extended cuff, providing additional wrist protection. In addition, gloves with longer cuff lengths are also available to protect the forearms. Combining this feature with the seamless construction of the gloves/mittens results in excellent protection.

Can high temperature-resistant gloves be washed?

Yes
Kevlar is different from other common knitted materials. It can withstand hot water, any detergent, or soap without shrinking and deforming. Likewise, you can put it in the dryer without any damage.
By the way, kevlar work gloves are heat resistant and can be machine-washed because they are tough and easy to clean. However, if you want to keep the cut-resistant gloves in good condition, it is better to wash them by hand. Of course, this is not necessary because it takes more time.

How comfortable are Kevlar gloves?

The outer layer of the gloves is Kevlar fiber, which can prevent discomfort caused by heat. The inner layer is a soft flame-retardant lining, providing comprehensive protection. The double protection is not only highly safe but also comfortable and breathable. As for the size, most Kevlar cut-resistant gloves are universal sizes. It can easily adapt to both hands and control easily. Most importantly, it can help greatly reduce the purchase cost.

How should Kevlar gloves be maintained?

After use, place the gloves in a clean, ventilated place to prevent moisture from shortening their service life. High temperature-resistant gloves should be kept away from sunlight, otherwise, the color will change and the fibers will become loose. Kevlar gloves are also easy to clean after they get dirty. For other heat-resistant gloves, you should first check the instructions for use to learn how to clean them. In addition, long-term use may reduce the thermal insulation performance of the inner layer. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best to replace damaged gloves with new ones.

Precautions when using heat-resistant gloves：

1. Confirm the working conditions and glove specifications before use. For example,  gloves are used for high-temperature and cutting tasks, dust-free heat-resistant gloves are used in clean rooms, and aluminum foil heat-resistant gloves are used for high-temperature radiation.
2. Carefully check whether the surface layer of the heat-resistant gloves is intact and whether the inner layer is misplaced or thinned. And test the heat insulation of the gloves by quickly touching the object and then feeling it with your hands. Don’t forget to observe whether the surface layer is burned or cracked after multiple tests.
