Flame Resistant Gloves Without the Itch & Stiffness
By M.B. Sutherland, Sr. Safety Writer, Magid
Flame-resistant PPE is the last line of protection between your workers and the flames, sparks, and heat that come with many industrial applications. Traditional FR materials do a good job of keeping everyone safer, but that protection comes at the expense of comfort.
THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL FLAME-RESISTANT GLOVES
Traditional FR gloves are known for being stiff enough to cause hand fatigue after even a short time on the job. They’re also itchy and rough, adding to the overall misery of wearing them for one quick job, let alone all day!
Itchy and rough fibers of a traditonal FR glove.
Why? Because the sturdy fibers used to make traditional Aramid flame-resistant materials have a rough, almost hairy texture. They’re effective for resisting flames, but they feel a lot like wearing a bad wool sweater…only thicker and harder to flex! And we all know that a glove that’s brutal to wear tends to come off the moment the safety manager’s back is turned – making injuries and incidents far more likely.
