Protection Ratings for HexArmor 8100 Foundry Safety Gloves

EN 388

• 4X22F

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.

EN 407

• X2XXXX

EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:

Applications and Environments for HexArmor Foundry and Blacksmithing Gloves

The combination of maximum Level F cut and Level 2 heat resistance is naturally ideal for foundry, blacksmith and fabrication workers. See a few more suitable applications and environments below:

• Blacksmiths
• Builders
• Construction
• Engineers
• Fabrication
• Foundry Workers
• Grinding
• Instillation
• Light Machine Operation
• Maintenance
• Mechanics and Automotive Professionals
• Offshore Application
• Roofing
• Scaffolding
• Welding

SuperFabric Protection

Serious about heavy-duty protection, SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution for preventing needle and knife incisions. It is the layer that prevents a serrated edge, needle or blade end from breaking through your glove and causing serious injury to your hand.

Incredible Level F Cut Resistance Rating

Use tools and heavy-duty equipment in your line of work? Level F cut-resistance is a must. It's the gold standard for ratings and is the difference between a blade or sharp tool causing serious, life-changing damage and it becoming lodged between the tightly woven, cut-resistant fibres that make up the HexArmor Foundry Gloves' outer shell.

Safe and Secure Heated Transfer

An obvious concern for foundry workers is heated transfer. Rest assured, HexArmor have taken that into consideration. Using 13ozs of padded material and a heat resistant outer shell, you can safely transfer material with a temperature of up to a whopping 250°C. Material can also be held for up to fifteen seconds with causing damage.

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.
