Protection Ratings and Safety Standards for Polyco Dyneema Gloves

EN 388

• EN 388: 4X43B

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.

Suitable Applications and Environments for Use

• Automotive
• Building
• Cargo Handling
• Construction
• DIY

What Are the Benefits of Dyneema Fabric?

Dyneema is an incredibly lightweight composite fabric originally manufactured using polyethylene sheets to provide a barrier that wont break down easily under pressure. Dyneema is a great foundation fabric for gloves because its lightweight foundation doesn't intrude on precision and accuracy like other bulkier materials. 

Maximum Level 4 Abrasion Resistance

Abrasion resistance demonstrates how resistant a glove is in the face of wear and tear, scuffs and other contact handling hazards that can break a fabric down. Polyco Dyneema Handling Gloves are built to last and have been awarded as such with a level 4 abrasion resistance rating under the safety standard EN 388. 

Enhanced Dexterity and Precision When Handling

This lightweight foundation that Polyco have designed and manufactured makes their Dyneema Dexterity Gloves the perfect option for handling professions that require a large amount of natural touch and precision. Whether you're in shipping, cargo handling, warehouse packing or manufacturing, these lightweight gloves are built to preserve every ounce of natural touch your hands have.

Sleek and Stylish Design Brief

Polyco Lightweight Dyneema Gloves are some of the most stylish gloves on the market. Designed against a refined and minimalistic design brief, they use muted grey and white tones to create an ultra-stylish pair of gloves that wouldn't look out of place in any workplace environment.

What Are the Benefits of a Polyurethane Coating?

Polyurethane is the perfect coating for industries and professionals requiring a sensitive and precise level of touch. This makes them a brilliant choice for individuals preferring an inobtrusive glove that maximises dexterity and precision in the handling department.

Breathable Open Back

A breathable back enhances the amount of air that can flow through a glove. Polyco Dyneema Gloves use a polyurethane coating at the palm and leave the back uncoated, allow odour, hot air, perspiration and sweat to exit the glove.

This minimises risk to sensitive skin and reduces the chance of nasty conditions like eczema and dermatitis developing when sweat is allowed to linger on the hands.

Elasticated Knit Wrist Cuff

An elasticated knit wrist is the perfect compliment to any safety glove. Not only does it enhance comfort and reduce fatigue in the palm and wrist, it also prevents dirt, debris and dust entering the glove when you're sanding down, cleaning up or working with or around dusty or flaking material.

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.
