The gloves are ideally suited for multi-hazard handling work in wet or cold environments, such as refrigerated warehouses.

The product code for these gloves is 60591.

Physical Resistance of the Uvex Gloves

The Uvex Safety Gloves have been tested to EN 388, which is the European standard for gauging how effectively a glove protects your hands against mechanical risks. Please check the table below to find out the results for these gloves.

Cold Resistance of the Safety Gloves

These gloves have been tested to EN 511, which is the European standard for gauging how effectively a glove protects your hands against cold hazards. Please see the table below to find out the results for these gloves.

What This Means

The gloves have achieved a level 3 for abrasion resistance and level 4 for tear, indicating that these are durable, reliable gloves. They have been awarded cut level C, which certifies their suitable for handling moderately sharp objects such as sheet metal and machinery. The gloves have a level 2 resistance against contact cold, protecting your hands from sub-zero temperatures.

Key Features and Benefits

• Grippy Coating: Durable polymer coating repels liquids and allows for a good grip in sub-zero temperatures
• Insulates Against the Cold: Dual layer design of acrylic and wool liner offers great insulation
• Flexibility: Flexible polymer coating remains dextrous even at low temperatures
• Cut Protection: Cut protection level C thanks to tough, glass and polyamide construction
• Durable: Abrasion resistance level 3 indicates high levels of durability
• Moisture Control: Partial, polymer coating across back of hand provide increased protection against moisture

Applications for the Thermo Gloves

Designed to offer reliable protection against the cold and physical hazards, the Uvex cold-resistant gloves are suitable for a number of heavy-duty applications. They allow for a good level of grip in damp conditions, and ensure a comfortable degree of warmth. Some of the industries and tasks the gloves are suitable for are listed here:

• Building
• Cold environment work
• Concrete work
• Construction work
• Cold store work
• Forklift drivers
• Freezer work

Handling Sharp Objects

The cut level 3 certification of the UVEX gloves indicates that they are suitable for handling, sorting and packaging sharp objects. Their glass and polyamide construction will resist cuts by metal and other potentially hazardous materials. 

Insulating Properties

The dual layer acrylic design of the gloves suits them to work in cold conditions, such as refrigerated warehouses. Their polymer coating remains flexible at sub-zero temperatures, allowing you to carry out handling tasks with ease, without compromising your safety. 

Improve Your Grip

The Thermo Safety Gloves improve your grip in dry and slightly damp areas thanks to the liquid-repellent polymer coating. This helps reduce the likelihood that you drop objects while you work, helping to prevent accidents from occurring in the workplace.

Durable Construction

The Uvex gloves are a long-lasting solution for a challenging environment, achieving an abrasion resistance rating of 3. The flexible polymer coating is also extremely robust and improves overall levels of durability.

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.
