Protection Ratings and Standards for Polyflex KC Hydro Water Repellent Safety Gloves

EN 388

EN 388: 4131X

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 Level 1
Tear Resistance Level 3
Puncture Resistance Level 1
ISO Cut Resistance N/A

Regularly work on site? Fed up of handling damp material and finding your hands red, blotchy and wet at the end of the day?

If this sounds familiar, Polyco KC Hydro Safety Gloves are the perfect all-rounder for you. Manufactured with innovative hydrophobic fibres that have been through an intense washing treatment process, Polyco KC Hydro Gloves boast a robust 3-dimensional water-resistant performance, which simultaneously maximises breathability and prevents water and damp entering the glove.

Hydro KC Safety Gloves

Incredible Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating

Under EN 388, the maximum level 4 abrasion resistance rating indicates that a glove can withstand a huge amount of traffic and contact before showing signs of wear. This is ideal for warehouse, shipping, cargo handling and for any professionals working on construction and building sites. 

Treated Smartphone and Touchscreen Compatible Fingertips

As the world becomes more and more digital, it's vital that your workwear and safety gloves don't get left behind. Whether you're ordering parts and materials online, taking client calls or scrolling through plans on your tablet, do so without the faff of removing your safety gloves.

Polyco KC Gloves come complete with treated and highly sensitive fingertips that are 100% smartphone and touchscreen device compatible.

How Does a Nitrile Coating Enhance Durability and Protection?

Nitrile is an incredibly flexible coating that provides additional resistance to oil, fuel and chemicals. Nitrile is used as a protective coating in gloves because it matches the pliability of latex with the hazard and injury protection properties of a heavier, woven glove.

Nitrile works to absorb tiny particles of moisture and liquid which can otherwise compromise grip strength. This not only prevents damage to the glove fabric itself, but it enhances grip strength, which means less drops, less accidents and less financial loss due to product damage.

Hydro KC Safety Gloves

What Are the Benefits of a Knuckle Coating?

A knuckle coating means the fingers, palm and knuckle area are coated, leaving the back of the hand open. This allows odour and nasty smells to exit the glove naturally, preventing the build up of nasty moisture that can damage the hand and cause irritation and other dermatological conditions to flare up.

Elasticated Knit Wrist

An elasticated knit wrist not only stabilises the joint to maximise comfort and fatigue resistance; it also works to prevent dirt and debris entering the glove, ensuring tiny fibres, molecules and moisture droplets can't enter to cause irritation and nasty reactions.

What is EN 388?

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.

Perfect fit

First time having ordered the gloves, am a 5’ 3” lady and small is a perfect fit. Use them for brickwork and so far (worn twice fir three hours each time), they are perfect fit, love how they sit snug up my wrist to avoid debris finding their way in, very comfy and my hands seem to breathe well. Too early to tell how robust they will be but have high hopes. Great delivery as indicated on the website.

I'm a college student doing bricklaying as a level 2 qualification and since we use lime instead of the traditional cement our hands get extremely dry after a day's work. Surprisingly these gloves block a lot of moisture seeping into the glove itself.

I wished it had a bit of a thumb guard since that teers easily on most gloves but from my limited time with them it hasn't shown signs of ware yet.

Hi Jack,

Many thanks for reaching out and leaving a review with us. We're glad you've found some gloves that allow you to safely handle lime mortar and bricks safely. We're a big fan of rough and ready gloves for bricklaying as they're great for protecting your hands against scuffs, cuts and serrated edges.

Kind regards,

Seth at SafetyGloves.co.uk
