Ansell AlphaTec 58-535W Chemical-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves

Featuring revolutionary Ansell Grip Technology, the Ansell AlphaTec 58-535W Chemical-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves enable the user to handle wet or oily items with less grip force and more control. This enhances safety when handling slippery components and reduces hand and arm fatigue during manual tasks. Offering excellent abrasion and tear resistance, along with liquid-proof chemical resistance, the AlphaTec 58-535W Gloves are suitable for a broad range of applications, including chemical handling, metal fabrication, mining, oil refining and printing.  

Features and Benefits of the AlphaTec 58-535W Gauntlet Gloves

• Gauntlet gloves with nylon liner and nitrile shell
• Provide 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
• Excellent abrasion and tear resistance
• protection against contact heat up to 100°C
• Anti-static according to EN 1149-5:2008

Ansell Grip Technology

Revolutionary Ansell Grip Technology ensures that the coating polymer does not penetrate the glove liner of the 58-535 Gloves during manufacture. The result is liquid-proof chemical-resistance that is consistent across the entire surface of the gloves. This advanced grip technology also provides good grip for the handling of wet or oily components, enabling the user to handle items securely while applying less grip force for greater control and reduced hand and arm fatigue.

Contact Heat Resistance

The AlphaTec 58-535W Gloves have been tested to EN 407-5:2004 for their resistance to heat. They achieved a rating of X1XXXX, meaning that 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.
