How Can These Grip Gloves Protect My Hands?

With a tough, durable liner and double-coated design, these gloves protect from a variety of workplace risks. The protective features include:

• High levels of mechanical resistance for defence against cuts, abrasions, punctures, and tears
• Tough nitrile liner ensures the gloves keep their strength and integrity for a long time
• Level 1 contact heat resistance allows brief and intermittent handling of hot materials and components up to 100°C
• SilverClear technology application provides protection from bacterial, fungal, and viral growth on the gloves
• High-visibility design enables safer working in low-light environments

What Is SilverClear?

SilverClear is an antimicrobial, bactericidal, and anti-odour technology which can help to protect glove material, prolonging the life span. The treatment is bacteriostatic, bactericidal, antifungal, and antiviral. This means that it helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and kills bacteria on contact.

The SilverClear treatment helps to preserve the glove material and minimise odours caused by contact with these micro-organisms. It can also help to reduce the risk of becoming ill after your gloved hand has been in contact with harmful bacteria, fungi, or viruses. To find out more about SilverClear, see the video below:

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.
