Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
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.
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 | N/A |
| Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 3 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | Level D |
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 | N/A |
| Contact Heat Resistance | Level 1 (100°C) |
| Convective Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Resistance to Small Molten Splashes | N/A |
| Resistance to Large Molten Splashes | N/A |

Suitable Applications and Environments for Portwest Vis-Tex Safety Gloves
Please view the list below to see which environments, professions and applications are suited to Porwest Vis-Tex Cut Resistant Gloves:
What Does a Level D Cut Rating Really Mean?
A level D cut resistance rating means that a garment will guard against up to 15 newtons of downward pressure applied by a sharp implement before showing signs of breakage or damage. This rating is ideal for bricklayers and building site workers as it guards the hands against jagged material like timber, bricks and yard waste.
100°C Contact Heat Resistance
In the event that you need to operate tools that overheat or remove machine parts from cars or equipment, you need to ensure your hands are protected against contact heat. Portwest Long Cuff Gloves protect the hands from burns and scalding with a 100°C resistant palm coating.
Extended Forearm Cuff
Most gloves protect the hands in some capacity. What they don't do, is consider the rest of the wrist and forearm that remains exposed.
Portwest Cut Resistant Safety Gloves used an extended cuff to prevent splashing, oil, dirt and grease from coming into contact with your skin. This is excellent if you're a mechanic or automotive professional who needs to lean into car hoods regularly.
What Are the Benefits of a Foam Nitrile Coating?
Foam nitrile is ideal for outdoor handling professions like bricklaying, yard work, building site clearance and material handling. Foam nitrile uses tiny pockets of air that are inserted into the nitrile mix to absorb moisture, water, perspiration and other harmful liquids that might otherwise linger on the hand and compromise grip strength.
Maximum Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating
Under EN 388, an incredible maximum level 4 abrasion resistance rating indicates a glove can withstand a large amount of traffic before breaking down and showing signs of wear and tear. If you're constantly handling bricks, timber, equipment, tools or on-site materials, Portwest Vis-Tex Cut Resistance Gloves have got you covered day in, day out.
Palm Dipped Coating for Maximum Breathability
Portwest 100°C Cut Resistant Safety Gloves use a palm-only coating to ensure odour, hot air and nasty airborne bacteria are able to exit the glove naturally as you work. Other gloves that use a total coating can encourage dermatological conditions like eczema and dermatitis to develop, as air is not allowed to exit the glove naturally.
Excellent Traffic Resistance
This foam nitrile coating enhances wear and tear resistance, which means a glove can withstand a lot of exposure to jagged, sharp and dangerous material before showing signs of wear. Builders, bricklayers and construction site works need high traffic resistance to ensure their gloves don't break down when handling material and clearing up debris and spoilage.
