Ansell AlphaTec 58-530W Chemical-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves

The Ansell AlphaTec 58-530W Chemical-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves have been manufactured using revolutionary Ansell Grip Technology to enable the user to handle wet or oily components with greater ease and more control. This technology promotes the safe handling of slippery components, and reduces hand and arm fatigue. Offering excellent abrasion and tear resistance, as well as liquid-proof chemical resistance, these gloves are suitable for a broad range of applications in the agriculture, chemical, construction, mining, oil refining and printing industries.  

Features and Benefits of the AlphaTec 58-530W Gauntlet Gloves

• Gauntlet gloves with nylon liner and nitrile shell
• Good grip of wet or oily objects
• Enhanced grip control for reduced hand fatigue
• Flexible for maximum dexterity and comfort
• Reliable liquid-proof chemical resistance
• Protection against contact heat up to 100°C

Ansell Grip Technology

Ansell Grip Technology ensures the polymer coating on the gloves does not penetrate the glove liner. The reliable liquid-proof chemical resistance is consistent across the entire surface area of the gloves. This grip technology enables the handling of wet or oily objects with less grip force and more control for safer handling and reduced hand and arm fatigue during manual tasks.

Contact Heat Resistance

The AlphaTec 58-530W Gloves provide protection against contact heat, and have been tested to EN 407-5:2020 to determine the level of resistance that they provide. The gloves achieved a rating of EN 407-5:2020: X1XXXX, meaning they provide protection against contact heat up to 100°C.

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.
