Polyco Polyflex Hydro TP PHYTP Safety Gloves

The Polyco Polyflex Hydro TP PHYTP Safety Gloves are knitted water-repellent gloves ideal for construction and engineering in wet conditions. Impact protection on the back of the hand provides wearers with an exceptional level of protection without restricting movement, enabling you to freely move your hands to perform a wide range of tasks.

Water-Repellent Coating

Unlike most other water-resistant gloves, the Hydro TP gloves have a hydrophobic solution applied to them to keep hands dry in wet conditions. This means that the gloves don't have to be fully coated and can offer an exceptional level of flexibility while still being suitable for use in wet conditions.

Durable and Comfortable Grip

The Hydro TP gloves also feature a nitrile foam palm coating. This gives the palm of your hand an incredible level of cushioning as well as grip, ensuring that your hands are as comfortable as possible no matter the condition or task.

Impact Protection

The back of the Hydro TP gloves feature modified thermoplastic impact protection. This keeps hands defended against impact without restricting movement, helping you ensure you're safe on site while still being able to do your job easily and effectively.

Touch-Sensitive Fingertips

The fingertips of the Hydro TP gloves are incredibly tactile and touch-sensitive. As well as helping you feel objects more easily, this also enables you to use touchscreens accurately and easily without having to remove the gloves.

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.
