What Type Of Gloves Protect Against Heat?

Materials which are commonly used to make Heat Resistant Gloves include Kevlar, terry knit, carbon fiber, or a combination of these fibers. The type of heat hazard that’s present will influence which hand protection you should be wearing.

Certain materials offer different advantages than others, so the materials used to make heat-resistant work gloves can vary from glove to glove.

Kevlar

When it comes to heat-resistant gloves, Kevlar is a popular optio, Due to the many benefits it provides:

It can withstand extreme temperatures (around 800° F) without melting.

It is flame resistant.

It cut resistant.

Terry Knit

If you need gloves that provide reliable heat protection and excellent insulation, terry knit gloves are a great option because terry traps air within the glove.

Leather

Leather is overlooked for its heat properties, but can withstand 200°F before charring.

Work Gloves designed for welders or other extreme-heat applications may also feature durable leather (such as cowhide or goatskin), a Kevlar lining for extra protection against heat or fires, or an aluminized lining to divert high temperatures from the palms.
