Pair of arc flash protective gloves, designed to provide high protection against thermal risks related to electrical arcs.
These gloves feature arc flash protection of 100 cal/cm² and a length of 18", allowing for better coverage of the hand, wrist, and forearm. They are made from multi-layer DuPont™ Nomex® and Kevlar®, with a lining of DuPont™ Nomex® needle-punched felt.
Flame protection is intrinsic to the fabric and does not wash out. The level of arc flash protection is directly embroidered on the glove for quick identification in the field.
These gloves are intended to protect against the thermal effects of an electrical arc. They are not electrically insulating and do not replace insulating gloves class 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 in case of risk of contact with live parts.
