Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

  • EN 388: 4X42D

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.

Standard Resistance Rating
Abrasion Resistance Level 4
Cut Resistance N/A
Tear Resistance Level 4
Puncture Resistance Level 2
ISO Cut Resistance Level D

EN 407

  • X1XXXX

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:

Standard Resistance Rating
Burning Resistance N/A
Contact Heat Resistance Level 1 (100°C)
Convective Heat Resistance N/A
Radiant Heat Resistance N/A
Resistance to Small Molten Splashes N/A
Resistance to Large Molten Splashes N/A

Key Features and Benefits

  • Safely handle material with a temperature of up to 100°C
  • Level D cut-resistance rating allows you to safely handle glass, metal and blades
  • Nitrile coating is great in damp and wet conditions
  • Maximum level 4 abrasion and tear resistance ratings
  • Kyorene® Graphene foundation fabric is tough, durable and incredibly flexible
  • Ultra-lightweight liner engineered without the addition of brittle glass fibre or steel
  • Reinforced thumb crotch helps prevent rips, tears and splits
  • Available in a range of different sizes

Innovative Resistance Combination

The Polyco Capilex D Gloves combine 100°C heat resistance with excellent cut resistance, making the gloves well suited to fabrication, foundry and metal handling. The superb grip is supported by a lightweight but flexible design, helping you get to grips with most materials, tools and items. This means that while you won't drop items you are handling, you won't hurt your hands either.

100°C Contact Heat Resistance

A level one contact heat rating is perfect for handling car parts like pipes and engines, where material doesn't exceed 100°C in temperature. Thin in design and lightweight in construction, Capilex Gloves make sure to retain every ounce of dexterity and precision your fingertips need to interact with intricate machine parts and tools.

Level D Cut Resistance Rating

Level D cut-resistance demonstrates that the Polyco Capilex Lightweight Cut and Heat Gloves can withstand an amazing 22 newtons of downward force applied by a sharp implement before showing any visible signs of damage. This means that blades, metals and other sharp objects struggle to pierce the glove fabric.

Polyco Capilex Cut-Resistant Work Gloves

What's So Special About Foam Nitrile?

Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating. It is unparalleled when working around liquids as it works to absorb and suck up water and oil, preventing slips and drops.

It behaves like a sponge, creating a suction cup effect which leaves the user able to grip tightly onto whatever it is they're lifting. Foam nitrile is also three times more puncture resistant than rubber.

Maximum Level 4 Abrasion and Tear Resistance

Polyco Capilex Cut-Resistance Heat Gloves boast a level 4 EN 388 rating for abrasions and tears, demonstrating how much stress and strain they can withstand before showing signs of wear and tear. Abrasion resistance is especially desirable for workers who work in logistics or manual handling.

Polyco Capilex Cut-Resistant Work Gloves

Reinforced Thumb Crotch Area

A reinforced thumb crotch can save a pair of gloves. Inherently weak and prone to splitting, the thumb crotch area (the bend between your index finger and thumb) is often the first area of a glove to break.

Bolstered with a strip of thick, mechanically resistant flat nitrile fabric, the thumb crotch on Polyco CPD Capilex Gloves becomes one of the strongest areas on the glove, enhancing grip and saving you time and money in the long run.

Ultra-Lightweight Foundation Material

It's often the case that gloves with a high cut-resistance rating are incredibly bulky due to the amount of fabric traditionally required to shield against cuts, incisions and lacerations. Polyco CPD Capilex Gloves buck this trend by using Kyorene® Graphene as a foundation material, which has all the same properties of a lighter fabric without compromising on cut-resistance.

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.

What is EN 407?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 407. 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 407. EN 407 stands for Protective Gloves Against Thermal Risks, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to burns, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat and small and large splashes of molten metal.

How Do I read the EN 407 Score?

Reading your EN 407 score is simple, as each hazard will be provided with a score between Level 0 and Level 4. Level 0 means the gloves failed against that particular hazard, and Level 4 means that they provide the best protection possible against that hazard.

These look really well made and good for the purpose. I'll be using them to protect my hands and fingers whilst cutting bits of wood, and for protection whilst handling a hot stove. The gloves are close fitting but not uncomfortable. There is flexibility in the fingers. I am a small women with small hands so the smallest size fits me well!
