TraffiGlove TG5120 Dynamic Cut Level 5 Safety Gloves

The TraffiGlove TG5120 Dynamic Cut Level 5 Safety Gloves have been specifically designed for glass and thermoplastic adhesive or hot melt application. Their heat resistant properties help ensure hands are protected, and a close fitting design makes them easier to use throughout a range of tasks.

Close-Fitting Design

To make glass and window frame fabrication as easy as possible, the gloves feature a close fitting design. This enables hands to move more freely and more accurately, meaning tasks can be completed with ease.

Tough and Grippy Cohesion Crystal Coating

To help ensure that you get the most from your gloves, the TG5120 Dynamic 5 gloves feature a Cohesion Crystal coating. This gives gloves an exceptional level of grip on dry surfaces and durability.

What's more, this special coating also works to resist tack build-up from hot melt adhesives and also provides a fantastic level of thermal conductivity resistance.

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

Designed for glass and thermoplastic hot melt adhesive application, the TG5120 Dynamic 5 gloves are suitable for a range of uses, including:

• Glass and window frame application
• Hot melt adhesive and sealant work
• Tack build-up and cross-contamination prevention
• Auto windscreen replacement
• Manufacturing and installation
• Glazing
• Glass handling
• Insulating
• Plumbing

Please note that these gloves are only suitable for use in dry conditions.

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.
