Protection Ratings and Standards for Polyflex Ultra Abrasion Resistant Safety Gloves

EN 388

EN 388: 4121X

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

Key Features and Benefits

• Maximum level 4 abrasion resistance under EN 388
• Polyurethane and nitrile blend coating enhance grip and durability
• Long shelf life thanks to high traffic resistance
• Ideal for warehouse, packing, picking and construction application
• Available in four different sizes for a guaranteed perfect fit every time
• Elasticated knit wrist works to prevent dirt and debris entering the glove
• SilverClear design actively fights harmful bacteria and odours whilst you work

Suitable Applications and Environments for Polyflex Ultra Safety Gloves

Please view the list below for a few example professions and environments that suit Polyco Polyflex Safety Gloves best:

• Builders
• Construction
• Machine Operation
• Maintenance
• Mechanics and Automotive Professionals
• Packing
• Picking
• Roofing
• Scaffolding
• Warehouse
• Woodworking

Innovative Patented SilverClear Design

The SilverClear range are formulated using a micro-blend of silver which is a natural antimicrobial agent which works to actively kill bacterial, fungus and viruses that appear and land on the hand. The additive works to protect the glove and your hands from tiny specs of mould and bad odours that arise throughout the day.

Incredible Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating

Under EN 388, the maximum level 4 abrasion resistance rating indicates that a glove can withstand a huge amount of traffic and contact before showing signs of wear. This is ideal for warehouse use and with professionals working on construction and building sites. 

Grip Enhancing Palm

The foam coating used to construct Polyco Polyflex Safety Gloves increases grip in wet and damp conditions. This is due to the absorbent properties of nitrile and the abrasion resistance provided by polyurethane.

What Are the Benefits of a Foam Nitrile Polyurethane Blend Coating?

Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating. It is unparalleled when working around liquids as it works to absorb and suck up water and oil, preventing slips and drops.

Polyurethane on the other hand, enhances abrasion resistance as it is highly durable. It is also incredibly lightweight, meaning that despite a high level of protection, Polyflex Gloves still promote dexterity and accuracy.

Elasticated Knit Wrist

An elasticated knit wrist not only stabilises the joint to maximise comfort and fatigue resistance; it also works to prevent dirt and debris entering the glove, ensuring tiny fibres, molecules and moisture droplets can't enter to cause irritation and nasty reactions.

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.
