Heat Resistant Gloves—also known as high-temperature protective gloves or thermal insulation gloves—are specialized hand protection gear designed for high-temperature working environments. They are widely used in industries such as metal smelting, glass manufacturing, automotive production, and firefighting.

 

Heat Resistant Safety Gloves can withstand temperatures ranging from 100°C to over 1,000°C, utilizing composite materials to insulate and delay heat transfer, meeting diverse safety requirements across various applications.

 

Typically made from aramid fibers, carbon fiber, and other high-temperature-resistant materials, some models feature reinforced leather on the palm for enhanced durability and comply with CE EN407 standards (with a minimum of 15 seconds of heat resistance through direct contact).

 

Heat Resistant Gloves 500 degrees, such as the HORBEST-500, come in extended lengths (45 cm) and are ideal for extreme heat scenarios like aluminum profile processing and tunnel furnace operations. In contrast, household models focus more on anti-scald protection and flexibility.

 

 

When selecting resistant heat gloves, it’s essential to evaluate:

•Contact temperature

•Duration of exposure

•Mechanical performance

•Additional features (e.g., anti-static, waterproofing)

 

Before use, always inspect the glove’s integrity and conduct a quick heat contact test. For storage, keep gloves away from direct sunlight and moisture.

 

•Name: Heat Resistant Gloves-HRG001

•Aliases: High-temperature resistant gloves),(Thermal insulation gloves)

•Type: Specialized high-temperature protective gloves

•Features: Operate continuously under various high-temperature conditions

•Categories:

•By material: Carbon fiber, asbestos, fiberglass, aramid fiber

•By function: General heat resistance, flame retardant, dust-free, anti-static, cut-resistant

 

1.Ambient heat: Similar to weather temperatures; rarely relevant for hand protection.

2.Radiant heat: From fire or sunlight. Usually mitigated using reflective materials like aluminum foil.

3.Contact heat: Direct contact with hot objects such as castings or machine parts. Gloves are primarily designed to protect against this type.

 

 

“Can I just select gloves based on the object’s temperature?”

No—both temperature and contact duration are crucial. Even if gloves can resist a certain temperature, the time your hand is in contact with heat will determine whether the glove can protect effectively.

 

You must ensure:

1.The glove’s rated maximum contact temperature is not exceeded.

2.The single contact duration remains within the glove’s safe thermal conduction window.

 

Additional Factors to Consider:

•Weight of object: Heavier items compress gloves more, increasing heat conduction.

•Frequency of contact: Less time between contacts = faster heat build-up.

•Thickness and fit: Thicker gloves resist heat longer but may reduce dexterity.

•Mechanical durability: Resistance to wear, cuts, and tearing enhances safety and lifespan.

•Special requirements: Dust-free environments, anti-static properties, water/chemical resistance.

 

 

The heat contact duration refers to the time from initial contact until the user feels an unbearable burn, not just a sensation of heat. According to CE EN407, gloves should withstand at least 15 seconds of direct high-temperature exposure.
