Thermal proof gloves, such as hest resistant gloves and cold
resistant gloves, protect against
extreme temperatures and are fabricated from a variety of materials,
including:
-
Neoprene: Neoprene gloves are used
for protection against frost and burn injuries, as in the case of
firefighting gloves. Besides its thermal resistant characteristics, this
flexible and durable material is effective for various operations as it
outlasts and outperforms even natural rubber when exposed to extreme
temperatures. Some of the common applications for these gloves include
petrochemical and wire manufacturing operations.
-
Aluminized Material: Aluminized
material is capable of handling and withstanding extremely high
temperatures (depending on the specific formula, up to and exceeding
2,000° F). Combined with the material’s insulating and reflective
properties, gloves made of this material are suitable for high-temperature
operations such as welding, furnace and foundry, and some laboratory
applications.
