SPGRK/A - CoolGrip® Cut- and Heat-resistant Plastic-injection Mold-trimming Styles

From our CoolGrip® heat-resistant glove lineup, comes a glove specifically engineered for the plastic-injection molding industry. It features a blend of yarns that deliver extended thermal heat resistance, plus cut and abrasion protection.

The plastic injection molding industry requires operators to trim the flash from hot plastic parts, so the glove-within-a-glove design works to trap air for increased insulating properties that last longer than regular heat-resistant styles. In fact, when this glove was tested at a temperature of 500°F/260°C, the time-to-pain score was an impressive 28 seconds. (Gloves were tested according to the ASTM F 1060-05 standard for thermal-protection performance for hot-surface contact.)

They also possess high cut-resistance because of the polyester, fiberglass and Cordura® nylon blend in the outer layer. Gloves scored a level 4 in the ASTM cut test, at over 1500 grams of cut resistance. And, they offer good dexterity and comfort for a heat-resistant glove with this kind of performance.

Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
