Features and Benefits of the 70-761 Kevlar Gloves

• Gauge 10 lycra, stainless steel and Kevlar gloves
• Protect against contact heat up to 100°C
• Excellent tear resistance
• Machine washable at 40°C

HIGH-PERFORMANCE KEVLAR

Kevlar is a durable and extremely strong fibre that provides excellent cut resistance. It has a very high strength-to-weight ratio, and, as a result, provides protection against abrasion, cuts and tears while remaining lightweight. The use of Kevlar for the Vantage 70-761 Gloves produces gloves that are lightweight, durable and provide good dexterity. 

Washable for Reuse

The Vantage 70-761 Gloves are machine washable at 40°C. This enables the gloves to be used in dirty environments, and those where contamination is a risk.

Contact Heat Resistance

The 70-761 Grip 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.
