• Glass and sharp material handling
• Construction and industrial assembly

Check the stated cut-resistance level rather than relying on the EN 388 marking alone. Cut-resistant gloves are not cut-proof.

Chemical-Resistant Gloves (EN ISO 374 Gloves)

Chemical-resistant gloves help protect hands during contact with specified chemicals. Often searched for as EN 374 gloves, EN ISO 374-rated products should be selected using the manufacturer's chemical compatibility and permeation data.

Chemical-resistant gloves are used for:
• Chemical handling and processing
• Cleaning and sanitation tasks
• Laboratory and industrial applications

Suitability depends on the chemical, concentration, contact time, and working temperature. No single glove material protects against every chemical.

Heat-Resistant & Thermal Work Gloves (EN 407 & EN 511)

Heat-Resistant Gloves (EN 407)
Choose heat-resistant gloves in Singapore for tasks involving specified thermal hazards. Compare EN 407 performance ratings and the manufacturer's temperature and contact-time guidance for your task.

Common applications, depending on the glove rating, include:
• Welding and metalwork
• Handling hot tools or materials
• Industrial and fabrication work

Cold-Resistant Gloves (EN 511)
Cold-resistant gloves, including insulated thermal work gloves, help protect hands in low-temperature environments. EN 511 ratings indicate tested cold protection and water penetration performance.

Applications may include:
• Cold storage and refrigerated facilities
• Outdoor work in cold conditions
• Handling chilled materials

Check insulation, grip, and water resistance separately when selecting gloves for cold or wet work.

Electrician Gloves (EN 60903 Gloves)

Electrical insulating gloves, also known as electrician gloves, provide protection against electric shock when correctly selected and used. Check the stated EN 60903 or IEC 60903 compliance and voltage class.

Electrical insulating gloves are used for appropriately assessed tasks involving:
• Electrical installation and maintenance
• Utility and power systems
• Industrial electrical equipment

Choose the correct voltage class and follow inspection, testing, storage, and use instructions. General purpose rubber or work gloves do not provide equivalent electrical protection.

Welding Gloves for High-Heat Applications

Welding gloves provide hand protection for welding and fabrication, with materials and construction suited to heat, sparks, and related hazards. Choose the glove for the welding process and required dexterity; check the stated welding and thermal protection ratings.

Welding gloves are used for:
• Welding and cutting operations
• Metal fabrication and repair
• Industrial and workshop tasks

Compare cuff length, fit, flexibility, and protection levels before selecting a pair.

Disposable Gloves: Nitrile, Latex & Rubber Gloves

Disposable work gloves support hygiene and contamination control in tasks that require frequent glove changes. They suit applications where a fresh pair is needed between tasks, rather than repeated reuse. Choose products specifically rated for the intended industrial, food handling, or medical application.

Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile gloves are latex-free and available in disposable designs for a range of handling tasks. Chemical resistance varies by product, thickness, and substance; check the manufacturer's data.

Latex Gloves
Latex gloves offer elasticity and tactile sensitivity. Consider latex allergy requirements when choosing gloves for users and the people they work with.

Rubber Gloves
Rubber gloves include reusable designs for cleaning and wet work. Check material, cuff length, and compatibility with the cleaning products being used.

Replace single-use gloves between tasks and whenever they become damaged or contaminated.

Reflective Gloves for Outdoor & Night Work

Reflective gloves have reflective elements that can improve hand visibility when illuminated in low-light conditions. Check the glove's other protection ratings against the handling task.

Potential applications include:
• Traffic and roadwork operations
• Logistics and outdoor handling
• Night-shift work

Use reflective gloves alongside the other visibility measures required for the work area.

Safety Hand Gloves for Construction & Industry

Choose safety hand gloves for construction according to the materials and hazards involved. Construction hand gloves for moving rough building materials need suitable abrasion resistance and grip. Handling sharp metal requires an appropriate cut rating, while chemical handling requires gloves compatible with the substance used.

Typical glove selection examples:
• EN 388-rated gloves with an appropriate cut level for metal handling
• EN ISO 374-rated gloves compatible with the chemicals being handled
• Welding gloves with suitable welding and thermal protection ratings
• Disposable nitrile gloves rated for the intended hygiene or handling task

Check product specifications whenever materials, processes, or exposure conditions change.
