What Can the Supertouch Gloves Protect Me From?
To ensure these ST gloves provide you with the protection you need, they have been tested to a range of different standards. The results of mechanical resistance tests under EN 388 and EN 374 can be found in the tables below.
EN 388
Hazard | Resistance Level |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 1 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 2 |
EN 374
Chemical | Permeation Time |
Methanol | 30 minutes |
n-Heptane | 120 minutes |
Sodium Hydroxide (40%) | 240 minutes |
Sulphuric Acid | 10 minutes |
How Grippy Are the Supertouch Gauntlet Gloves?
The Supertouch Gloves are well suited to slippery tasks, in part because of their extra grippy and liquid resistant nitrile liner. This extra level of grip is perfect for working with chemicals, grease and oil, where dropping something can cause a serious injury.
How Durable Are the Supertouch Nitrile Gloves?
Durability is important for chemical gloves, as a breach in glove material can easily cause your hands to be harmed by corrosive liquids. That's why these ST Gloves are rated a Level 4 in abrasion resistance and a Level 2 in their tear protection. Combined with their high level of EN 374 resistance to chemical solvents, these EN 388 results guarantee a high level of wear without risky superficial damage.

What is EN 388?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.
There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.
How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?
Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.
Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
What is EN 374?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 374. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.
There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we're concerned about here is EN 374. EN 374 stands for Protective Gloves Against Chemicals, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to chemicals and micro-organisms.
How Do I Read the EN 374 Score?
Understanding EN 374 takes a little but more effort than with other standards as it comes with different letters, numbers and symbols that represent different levels of protection against different types of chemicals. Some of the different things you may see include:
- Symbol: Corresponds to the test that the products were subjected to
- Type: Corresponds to how many chemicals the product was tested against
- Letter: Corresponds to which chemicals the product was tested against
- Number: Corresponds to how long the product can withstand the chemical
Where Can I Find Out More?
We try our best to make it clear in the copy which chemicals the product can withstand. However, if it isn't clear or if you'd like to know a bit more, you can see the Introductory EN 374 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
