Safety gloves designed to protect hands against chemicals, cuts, heat, and general abrasion in industrial and commercial settings.
Hand injuries are among the most common workplace accidents. Industrial safety gloves provide a barrier against mechanical, thermal, and chemical risks. The choice of glove material—such as nitrile, latex, leather, or synthetic fibres—is determined by the specific hazard and the dexterity required for the task.
Gloves are tested and rated for their performance in areas like abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. For chemical tasks, the breakthrough time of the glove material against specific substances is the critical factor for safety.
Each line below explains what it is, where it is used, and what to include in your enquiry so we can quote accurately.
These gloves protect against oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis. Common materials include nitrile, PVC, neoprene, and butyl rubber, each suited to different chemical groups.
Buying noteIdentify the chemicals and the duration of contact to select the appropriate material and thickness.
Constructed from high-performance fibres like HPPE, glass fibre, or steel mesh, these gloves prevent lacerations when handling glass, sheet metal, or sharp tools.
Buying noteAssess the sharpness of the objects and the required grip to choose the correct cut level and coating.
Thermal gloves protect against contact heat, radiant heat, and molten splashes. They are made from materials like aramid fibre, treated cotton, or leather with insulating linings.
Buying noteState the temperature of the objects being handled and the duration of contact.
Designed for protection against sparks, heat, and UV radiation, welding gloves are typically made of heavy-duty leather with reinforced seams and thermal linings.
Buying noteSpecify the type of welding (e.g. TIG for dexterity or MIG for heavy heat) to get the right glove design.
These gloves provide protection against minor abrasions and dirt while maintaining high dexterity. Often made of cotton or synthetic knits with palm coatings.
Buying noteChoose based on the level of grip needed and the environment (dry, oily, or wet).

Quick answers about sourcing hand protection.
Cut levels indicate the amount of force a glove can withstand from a blade; higher levels provide greater protection.
No, general work gloves do not provide a liquid-proof barrier and will absorb hazardous chemicals.
Replace gloves if they show signs of wear, punctures, tears, or if chemical breakthrough is suspected.
Yes, gloves made from materials like aramid fibre provide both high cut resistance and significant heat protection.
