How Can the Kevlar Gloves Protect My Hands?

The Ansell ActivArmr Gloves are ideal for protection when working in oilfields. The high-visibility of the gloves makes them particularly useful for undertaking job-tasks in environments with low-lighting.

RIPEL Liquid Repellance Technology

The Ansell RIPEL Technology is a surface barrier which assists with preventing oils, lubricants, and other liquids from permeating the material of the glove. This helps to keep your hands clean and dry while working in oily or wet environments.

Ansell Grip Technology

The Ansell Grip Technology is a coating treatment which optimises glove grip, reducing the force needed to carry dry, oily, and wet objects. This allows for safer handling by minimising the risk of slippage, and helps to reduce hand fatigue.

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.
