TraffiGlove TG1080 Chemic Cut Level 1 Chemical Resistant Gloves

The TraffiGlove TG1080 Chemic Cut Level 1 Chemical Resistant Gloves are ideal for protecting hands against chemicals. Their flexible design makes it easier for hands to move freely, and their longer cuff adds extra protection.

Comfortable and Safe Design

To keep your hands comfortable as well as protected, the TG1080 Chemic 1 gloves are flexible and breathable, helping hands move more freely and feel better as you work. For added safety, the gloves also feature a cleated ant-skid grip to help you keep hold of whatever you're carrying.

Protective Liquidex Coating

To help ensure your hands have the best protection from chemicals possible, the TG1080 Chemic 1 gloves feature a Liquidex coating. This protective coating gives gloves a fantastic level of resistance from a range of chemicals, including:

• n-Heptan
• Sodium hydroxide (40%)
• Sulfuric acid (96%)

The TG1080 Chemic 1 gloves are EN374-2 rated, and also feature an EN 374-3 rating of JKL.

The Traffisafe System

Traffiglove gloves operate on the TraffiSafe system, designed to make it as easy as possible to identify the gloves you may need for a particular task.

• Red gloves feature a cut level of 1, designed to provide very basic cut resistance and should not be used in environments where cut resistance may be needed.
• Orange gloves feature a cut level of 3, designed to provide an intermediate level of cut resistance and should only be used in environments where cut resistance is infrequently required.
• Green gloves feature a cut level of 5, designed to provide the best level of cut resistance possible and are suitable for use where cut resistance is repeatedly required.

Suitable For A Range of Uses

Suitable for use in wet, dry and oily conditions, the TG1080 Chemic 1 gloves are suitable for a range of uses, including:

• Chemical protection
• Wet work
• Construction
• Agriculture
• Dipping processes
• Refueling
• Vehicle maintenance

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.
