electric warning

WARNING - NFPA 70E does not have a Hazard Risk Category (HRC) above 40 cal/cm2. Working in environments above 40 cal/cm2 should be avoided because of the blast hazards caused by arc flash.




Insulating Rubber Gloves, Leather Protector Gloves and Glove Liners

Insulating Rubber Gloves

Insulating rubber gloves are available in sizes 7 to 12 (inches) including half sizes. Correct fit is essential to avoid chafing and fatigue. Glove size is determined by measuring the circumference of the palm. Allow for additional room if fabric glove liners are to be worn, especially with thermal liners.

  • Class 00 Insulating Gloves available in red and black, Type I Natural Rubber, or blue and contrasting blue/orange Type II Salcor ozone resistant rubber.
  • Class 0 Insulating Gloves available in red, yellow and black, Type I Natural Rubber, or blue and contrasting blue/orange Type II Salcor ozone resistant rubber.
  • Class 2 Insulating Gloves available in Type I Natural Rubber only.

All insulating rubber gloves are extremely flexible and make working with small parts easy. The gloves meet or exceed ASTM D120 and IEC EN60903 Standards.

WARNING - NFPA 70E does not have a Hazard Risk Category (HRC) above 40 cal/cm2. Working in environments above 40 cal/cm2 should be avoided because of the blast hazards caused by arc flash.




Leather Protector Gloves

Leather Protector Gloves should always be worn over Insulating Rubber Gloves to provide the needed mechanical protection against cuts, abrasions and punctures.

It is the responsibility of end users to specify the overall length of the protector gloves. The Clearance Table shown below indicates the minimum distance which shall be allowed between the top of the protector glove and the top end of the head of the Insulating Rubber Glove per ASTM F496 Specifications. Proper care of leather protectors is essential to user safety. Inspect the leather protectors when inspecting Insulated Rubber Gloves. Metal particles, embedded wire, abrasive materials or any substance that could physically damage the Insulating Rubber Gloves must be removed from the protector before use.

electric warning

WARNING - do not use leather protectors alone for protection against electric shock. Serious injury or death will result. Always use proper Insulating Rubber Gloves.

Glove Liners

Glove Liners reduce the discomfort of wearing Insulating Rubber Gloves in all seasons. For year round use, liners provide warmth in cold weather, while they absorb perspiration in the warm months. Many styles and fabrics are available with either an open or knit wrist.

The knit wrist style grips the wrist rather than allowing the cuff to roll down and bunch at the palm. All Gloves Liners are for year round use with Insulating Rubber Gloves or Mittens. All Liners are made from stretch fabric to fit any hand size.

Insulated Hand Tools

Every insulated hand tool is rated for exposure up to 1,000VAC and dielectrically tested to 10,000 VAC. These tools meet or exceed current ASTM F1505-01 and IEC 900 Standards for Insulated Hand Tools. These tools will help you be compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and NFPA 70E 2004.

The insulating material used is impact and flame retardant. Two-colour insulation makes inspection easier which adds to the overall safety. If the yellow under layer is showing, the tool may no longer be insulated properly and should be considered for electrical retesting.

  • Meets IEC 900 Standard for Insulated Hand Tools.
  • Exceed current ASTM F1505-01 Standards for Insulated Hand Tools.
  • Helps meet OSHA requirements.
  • Tested to 10,000 VAC and rated for 1,000 VAC maximum exposure.
  • Impact resistant and flame retardant two-colour insulating material.
  • Made in the USA.
