Polyco Ingot Heatbeater 757 Heat-Resistant Mitten Gloves

For tough and effective protection when working with hot materials, the Polyco Ingot Heatbeater 757 Heat-Resistant Mitten Gloves are a top-quality choice. The superb contact-heat resistant design enables intermittent handling of dry tools and components up to 500ºC for at least 40 seconds at a time, and with a highly rated burning behaviour level, you can be sure of safer working around open flames. Made from Kevlar and aluminised glass fabric, these mittens are ideal for engineering and manufacturing industries.

What's Included?

• 1x Pair of Gloves

Which Cuff Length Should I Choose?

The Polyco Ingot Heatbeater Mittens have a universal palm size, so you don't have to measure your hands to find the right fit for you. The difference between the available mittens are the cuff lengths, so you can decide how much wrist and forearm coverage you'd prefer. There is a 45cm cuff version, and a 66cm cuff version for extended coverage.

Who Can Use The Polyco Heat-Resistant Gloves?

The Ingot Heatbeater Gloves are ideal for use in engineering and manufacturing industries, particularly when working with hot materials and components. Recommended applications of the glove include:

• Hot metal handling
• Foundry work
• Hot glass handling
• Heat treatment processes
• Firing ceramics in a kiln
• Maintenance of industrial furnaces

How Can These Gloves Protect My Hands?

These Polyco Mitten Gloves offer a high level of dry heat resistance. This includes contact heat resistance for materials up to 500ºC for up to 40 seconds at a time, allowing secure, intermittent handling of a variety of heated components.

They are also designed with a high level of flame resistance, helping to protect your hands from brief contact with open flames. The Level 4 burning behaviour resistance level means that these gloves have an after-burn time of just 2 seconds.

Please note: These gloves offer resistance to dry heat. If handling wet components, or if the gloves are wet, they will not be as effective in protecting against burning or injury.

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.
