Protection Ratings and Standards for Polyco 3413 Chemical Resistant Gauntlets
EN 388
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 | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
EN 374
EN 374 is the European safety regulation that determines the chemical resistance of garments and gloves. The ratings seen below are determined by exposing the fabric to various amounts of each chemical to assess the level damage done to the fibres.
Chemical | Resistance and Breakthrough Time |
(A) Methanol | > 30 minutes |
(K) Sodium Hydroxide (40%) | > 480 minutes |
(L) Sulphuric Acid (96%) | > 60 minutes |
(M) Nitric Acid (65%) | > 60 minutes |
(P) Hydrogen Peroxide (30%) | > 480 minutes |
(T) Formaldehyde (37%) | > 480 minutes |

Suitable Applications and Environments for Use
Unrivalled Full-Length Protection
Extreme environments call for extreme protection. When handling serious quantities of chemicals and other harmful substances, you need to know that your entire arm is protected in the event of accidental contact.
Polyco Long John Safety Gauntlets use a 64cm long sleeve style cuff to provide coverage for the entire arm, guaranteeing protection in the event of contact, splashing or accidental exposure.
Adjustable Velcro Strap
The inclusion of a fully adjustable Velcro strap allows the user to essentially "lock down" the cuff of the glove, preventing unwanted movement, slippage and displacement whilst working. This also works to ensure no dirt, debris, liquid or material can enter the glove at the cuff area during the day.
Incredibly Robust PVC Coating
PVC is naturally entirely waterproof as it forms a thick, shiny layer on the glove that provides great protection against grease, oil and other sticky moistures. This makes PVC the perfect coating for protection against harmful liquids like chemicals and oil.
Virus Resistant Outer Shell
EN 374-5 certification details that a garment has been deemed resistant to bacteria, fungi and viruses. This rating means that microbials and other harmful molecules will not work to actively breakdown the fabric of a glove, nor will they be harboured on the PVC surface if they do come into contact with the glove.
Maximum Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating
Under EN 388, the maximum abrasion resistance rating is level 4, which demonstrates a glove can take some serious wear and tear before showing signs of breaking down. Abrasion resistance is vital for a glove that encounters a great deal of exposure and chemical contact during the day.
Inexpensive and Affordable Design
Never before has full-arm protection been so affordable. Providing full-length coverage, resistance to six different chemicals and a maximum level 4 abrasion resistance rating, Polyco Long John Safety Gauntlet Gloves are top of the range when it comes to sewage, drainage and chemical exposure protection.
