In What Temperatures Can I Use the Scilabub Nomex Heat-Resistant Gloves?
Temperature resistances include:
- 370°C+: Can withstand flash fires or other forms of short exposure
- 370°C: The point at which degradation will begin
- 260°C: Can withstand this temperature for a number of hours
Please note that these gloves will not burn, melt or drip. They are designed to crust over when impacted by flames.
What Is Nomex?
Nomex is made up of a number of fibres, and is combined with Kevlar to ensure high temperature resistance. Nomex doesn't melt, meaning that you can use the gloves to protect against burns without risk to your hands.
How Dexterous Are the Gloves with Burning Resistance?
The gloves are surprisingly dexterous, thanks to the special Nomex fibre that can retain flexibility even in extremely hot conditions. When the gloves get to a certain temperature, they'll start to crust over but will be suitable for use after use. The gloves retain excellent dexterity even when handling hot items.
How Comfortable Are the Nomex Gloves?
These gloves are designed using double knitted fabric that fits comfortably around the hands. This is designed to ensure that you can use the gloves for extended periods without hand fatigue, as the gloves work with your hands rather than against them.
Where Can I Buy the Shorter Version?
These gloves are available in a shorter version that offers slightly more dexterity. You can find these below:
