Suitable Applications and Environments for Polyco Volcano Heat Gloves
Please view the list below to see which professions and environments suit the unique heat protective qualities of Polyco Volcano Heat Safe Gloves:
Incredible Contact Heat Resistance
Polyco Volcano Safety Gloves protect the hands when handling material up to an incredible 350°C for fifteen seconds. This amazing protection allows the user to handle, transfer, remove and inspect heated parts, material, products, tools and instruments without worrying about burns and scalding.
Vital Convective Heat Protection
Convective heat protection is an often overlooked safeguard that prevents the transfer of heat from a direct flame. The woven heat-resistant fibres used to construct Polyco Volcano Safety Gloves protect the hand in the event that they come into contact with fire, meaning the hand can be encased in flame for an incredible 18 seconds before heat is transferred onto the glove.
What Tasks Can Polyco Volcano Gloves Assist With?
- Transferring heated material from a furnace
- Direct blacksmithing and welding
- Mechanical or automotive inspection and alteration of engine parts
- Inspecting heated material in kilns
- Lifting material out through direct flame contact
- Preventing small splashes of molten metal
Innovative Kevlar Foundation Fabric
Kevlar is a synthetic material manufactured by DuPont using a tightly woven collection of aramid fibres that are spun until the bond formed between them is too tight to separate. Kevlar is used in the manufacture of cut-resistant clothing and gloves because the lack of gaps between the fibres means a blade cannot easily pierce or puncture it.
Flexible and Dexterous Knit Wrist Cuff
Available in two different length variations, Polyco Volcano Safety Gloves not only protect your hands, but your wrists and lower forearm too. This is vital when handling heated material, as scalding and burns often occur when rubbing against or brushing into seriously hot material.
