Thermal And Immersion Protective Gloves

Thermal and Immersion Protective Gloves are a type of specialized gloves designed to provide protection against extreme temperatures and immersion in liquids. These gloves are typically used in industries or environments where workers are exposed to high heat, cold, or hazardous liquids.

The primary purpose of thermal gloves is to provide insulation and protect the hands from extreme cold temperatures. They are often made with materials such as neoprene, fleece, or Thinsulate, which offer excellent thermal insulation properties.

On the other hand, immersion protective gloves are designed to protect the hands from liquids, chemicals, or hazardous substances. These gloves are typically made with materials that are resistant to penetration and absorption, such as rubber, PVC, or nitrile. They are often used in industries such as chemical handling, oil and gas, or laboratory work.

Thermal and immersion protective gloves are classified under the supply class Clothing, Special Purpose, which indicates that they are specifically designed for certain applications or environments. They fall under the supply group Clothing, Individual Equipment, Insignia, and Jewelry, which encompasses a wide range of personal protective equipment and accessories.

When selecting thermal and immersion protective gloves, it is important to consider factors such as the level of insulation or protection required, the specific hazards present in the work environment, and any relevant industry standards or regulations. It is also crucial to ensure that the gloves fit properly and allow for dexterity and grip, as this can impact the wearer's comfort and safety.
