FAQs
What is the primary protection offered by these gloves?
The primary protection is against flame and electric arc hazards. They are designed to protect the wearer's hands from burns associated with electrical incidents.
Are these gloves suitable for general work like construction?
While they offer good dexterity and comfort, their main purpose is specialized protection against flame and arc. For general construction tasks without these specific hazards, other gloves might be more suitable for durability against abrasion.
How do I determine if the arc protection level is sufficient for my job?
Consult your workplace safety guidelines or risk assessment. The glove's specific arc rating (e.g., ATPV value) should be compared against the potential incident energy levels present in your work environment.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and compromise the protective properties. Hand wash using mild detergent in cold water.
What is the benefit of the pre-shaped design?
The pre-shaped design conforms better to the natural curve of the hand, improving comfort and allowing for greater dexterity and finer motor control when performing tasks.
What materials are used in these gloves?
The palm is made of 100% supple goatskin, and the back of the hand uses a blend of 60% Modacrylic and 40% Cotton. Seams are sewn with flame-retardant Aramid thread.
Troubleshooting
Reduced dexterity after use.
Ensure gloves are not overly saturated. Allow them to air dry completely. Check if the size is appropriate; a glove that is too small can restrict movement.
Visible wear on the palm.
Inspect the gloves for tears or excessive thinning. While designed for durability, constant abrasion from sharp objects can accelerate wear. Consider if the task is within the intended use for this glove model.
Loss of flame-retardant properties.
Flame-retardant properties can diminish with improper washing or exposure to certain chemicals. Follow the care instructions strictly. If significant degradation is suspected, replace the gloves.
