Applications of the Showa 541 Handling Gloves

The Showa 541 Handling Gloves are ideally suited for handling tasks in greasy environments where the risk of cuts is moderate.

Typical applications for these gloves include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Handling heavy equipment
  • Mechanical and engineering
  • Intricate parts handling
  • Component assembly
  • Canning
  • Bottling

Please note: These gloves offer high traction resistance. They must not be used where there is a risk of being caught up in moving machinery.

Testing of the Showa 541 Gloves

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

  • 4342B
Hazard Resistance Level
Abrasion Resistance Level 4
Cut Resistance Level 3
Tear Resistance Level 4
Puncture Resistance Level 2
ISO Cut Resistance Level B

Seamless Lining

The Showa 541 Palm Plus Gloves feature a seamless HPPE (high performance polyethylene) lining that is protective, flexible, light and durable. This HPPE lining is resistant to cutting and offers more resistance to abrasion than para-aramid.

What Cut Resistance Do These Oil-Resistant Gloves Provide?

Tested to provide a level B cut resistance score, these gloves offer protection of force up to 5 newtons against straight blade cuts, making them suitable for applications where there is a moderate risk of cuts.

Why Choose PU Coated Gloves?

PU coated gloves have been relied on in the safety gloves industry for years for their good touch sensitivity, breathability, dexterity, and even low particulate shed, which prevents cross contamination. This coating ensures gloves grip well even in damp conditions without getting stuck , and have good tensile strength and abrasion resistance.

Anatomical Design

Maximising flexibility and comfort, the Showa 541 Gloves are anatomically designed. The microporous material of the lining achieves a well ventilated glove, which minimises hand perspiration, while the elasticated cuff at the wrists of these gloves ensure unrestricted movement.

Colour-Coded Cuffs

Each size of these gloves will feature a different cuff trim colour. This makes it easy to identify which size you are using at a glance, and improves the speed of size identification for easy selection on site.

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.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
