Specialist Hand Protection Gloves

There are several types of protective gloves, each designed to protect against specific risks. The main categories include: cut protection gloves, ideal for working with sharp objects; chemical safety gloves, which offer resistance to hazardous substances; heat-resistant work gloves, used in high-temperature environments; food-safety gloves, usually disposable and food-grade; and PPE gloves for electricians, which are insulating and tested for use with electricity. At RAG Tailors, we offer a full range of industrial gloves, with different materials and protection levels, always in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Choosing the right protective glove depends directly on the type of activity and the risks involved. For mechanical risks, cut protection gloves made from fibers such as Kevlar are recommended. For work with chemicals, it is essential to choose chemical safety gloves made from nitrile or latex. In environments with extreme heat or welding, heat-resistant gloves are essential. There are also specific gloves for electricians with electrical insulation and gloves for food use. RAG Tailors is prepared to advise professionals on the best PPE glove option based on the technical requirements of the sector and the type of user.

Work gloves are made from a variety of materials, each with its own characteristics. Nitrile is excellent for chemical and puncture resistance. Latex offers elasticity and comfort, ideal for light tasks. Leather provides protection against abrasion and heat, and is commonly used in welding. Fibers such as Kevlar and Dyneema are used in cut protection gloves due to their high resistance. PVC is used in waterproof gloves for wet or oily environments. At RAG Tailors, we value the choice of high-quality, certified materials that guarantee effective protection, comfort during prolonged use and durability.

Proper maintenance of PPE gloves is essential to ensure their effectiveness and extend their useful life. Some disposable gloves, such as those for food or laboratory use, must be replaced after each use. Reusable gloves should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and warm water, avoiding aggressive products that could damage the material. It is important to dry them completely before use. They should be stored in a dry place, away from heat sources or direct sunlight. RAG Tailors recommends always following the specific cleaning instructions for each model to ensure adequate protection, while maintaining safety and hygiene standards.

Chemical safety gloves are designed to prevent skin contact with corrosive, toxic or contaminating substances and are usually made of PVC, nitrile, neoprene or butyl. Heat-resistant work gloves are focused on thermal protection and are used in casting, welding or handling hot metals. They are usually made of leather or special thermal fibers. While chemical resistance is assessed by the permeation time of the substances, heat resistance is measured by their thermal insulation capacity. RAG Tailors offers both solutions, with protective gloves optimized for specific risks, duly certified and tested.

PPE gloves must comply with European standards and certifications, such as EN 388 for mechanical risks (cutting, puncture, abrasion), EN 374 for chemical protection, EN 407 for thermal protection and EN 511 for cold. CE marking is also mandatory, indicating that the glove complies with legal safety requirements. In addition, other specific standards may apply depending on the sector of activity. At RAG Tailors, all models of protective gloves available are selected based on strict technical criteria, featuring up-to-date certifications to guarantee maximum safety, reliability and compliance.
