SilaChlor™ Lining

Facts and Information

SilaChlor™ is a revolutionary material from Superior that does what no other high-heat glove has done before it in the 450°F to 600°F range.

DEXTERITY: With the presence of SilaChlor™ in heat-resistant gloves, a glove can be a glove. In other words, you don’t need to resort to a bulky, awkward mitt to be protected. The thickness and dexterity of SilaChlor™ makes bulk a thing of the past.

COST: SilaChlor™ is inexpensive, making the overall cost of high-heat gloves appreciably lower.

PROTECTION: Superior gloves made with SilaChlor™ achieved ASTM Conductive Heat Resistance ratings up to level 5. Some, like the 818SC, are beyond level 5. That means worry-free heat protection around temperatures as high as 608°F.

VERSATILE: SilaChlor™ can be combined with a range of materials in the outer layer to suit any application. For mid-range temperatures, grain leather offers excellent abrasion protection in high-heat applications. For higher temperatures up to 600°F, an outer layer of Kevlar® provides a flame-retardant surface for handling of high temperature objects.
