Polyco Tigmaster Heat Resistant Sheepskin and Leather Welding Safety Gauntlets
Blacksmithing and welding requires gloves that offer incredible protection against fire and flame without limiting the precise and accurate movement of the fingertips. Polyco Tigmaster Heat Resistant Sheepskin and Leather Welding Safety Gauntlets offer some of the best fire and flame protection on the market without limiting fine motor control and dexterous movement.
Certified for use in type B Tig welding environments, Polyco Tigmaster Gauntlets also feature antistatic protection for minimised risk in electrical exposure environments.
What's Included?
- 1 x Pair of Welding Gauntlets
What Makes TigMaster Gauntlets the Ideal Set of Welding Gloves?
If there's an application that requires specialised gloves, it's welding. Exposure to incredibly volatile and heated material and equipment can result in serious and life-threatening injury if the correct gloves aren't worn at all times.
Polyco Tigmaster Welding Gauntlets are certified for use in type B Tig welding and other heat risk environments. They maximise protection against fire, flame and molten splash, all of which are common hazards when welding, fusing, fabricating and bonding metal.
Sizing Information for Tigmaster Sheepskin Gauntlets
Polyco Tigmaster Gauntlets are available in a single size that is designed to fit most users hands. Because of their oversized specifications, they broadly guard the entire hand and wrist in the face of fire, flame, molten splash and heated material.
Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 12477
EN 12477 details how gloves should be designed to provide adequate protection when welding and working in similarly hazardous conditions and environments. Polyco Tigmaster Gauntlets meet this standard and have been accredited as safe for use in these scenarios.
EN 388
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.
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 2 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 1 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
EN 407
EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Burning Resistance | Level 4 |
| Contact Heat Resistance | Level 1 (100°C) |
| Convective Heat Resistance | Level 2 |
| Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Resistance to Small Molten Splashes | Level 4 |
| Resistance to Large Molten Splashes | N/A |

Suitable Industries, Applications and Environments for Use
Please view the list below to see a list of suitable environments and applications that suit Tigmaster Gauntlets and their unique protective properties:
Sheepskin and Leather Combination Fabric
Combining two unique and targeted foundation fabrics maximises protection where it is needed most. The cuff on Tigmaster Gauntlets is manufactured with a tough and durable leather, whilst the palm utilises the natural heat retentive and repellent properties of sheepskin leather.
Rough and Ready Durable Cuff
Unfortunately when working with highly volatile material, protecting just the hands is not enough. Polyco Flame and Fire Resistant Gauntlets use a wide angle cuff to maximises molten splash protection at the wrist.
This tough leather cuff also shields the wrist against accidental contact, when you may be preoccupied concentrating on intricate welding tasks.
Tough Sheepskin Leather Palm
Sheepskin fabric is an excellent base fabric for fire, flame and heat resistant gloves as it retains more heat than any other leather. Designed to trap heat and shield outside heat from entering, once a treatment is applied, sheepskin becomes incredibly durable in the face of high temperature hazards.
Anti-Static Properties
Anti-static gloves are designed to prevent electrostatic discharge for use in particle sensitive and low-contaminate environments. In certain environments, remaining "static dissipative" is vital, as discharging can cause incredibly costly breakage, financial loss and serious injury.
