Heat-resistant gloves – reliable protection at high temperatures
When heat, sparks, contact heat, or hot surfaces are involved, reliable protection via suitable gloves is necessary. Heat-resistant gloves are indispensable in professional occupational safety and offer effective protection against heat exposure and contact heat, without restricting hand dexterity. The EN 407 standard is decisive for the protective effect, defining performance levels for contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, and behavior when exposed to molten metal splashes. Whether in metal and steel processing, foundries, or welding – you can increase both safety and efficiency with the right gloves. In our online assortment, you will find heat-resistant gloves from renowned manufacturers such as Ejendals, MAPA, Hase Safety Gloves, and KCL in various sizes and designs for every temperature range.
Effectiveness of heat protection
High-quality heat protection gloves combine heat-resistant materials with sophisticated craftsmanship, thereby offering high thermal protection, a secure grip, and long-lasting dimensional stability. The result is gloves that function reliably even during long periods of work and significantly reduce the risk posed by contact heat:
- Heat-resistant materials: Aramid fibers, leather, and special high-performance fabrics withstand high temperatures and reliably protect hands from contact heat
- Multi-layer insulation: Reinforced inner surfaces increase protection against contact heat and extend the service life of the gloves even during intensive use
- Tested performance levels according to EN 407: Depending on the model, contact heat up to 500 °C as well as convective and radiant heat are tested to ensure the appropriate protection level for every temperature range
- Secure grip: Silicone coatings and non-slip surfaces ensure a reliable hold, even with hot or oily materials
- Comfortable fit: Soft linings made from skin-friendly materials reduce heat buildup and allow for long, fatigue-free wear
The result is gloves that offer not just at the moment of heat exposure, but permanently reliable protection against contact heat and safety.
Various versions for every application
Depending on the area and temperature range, various heat-resistant gloves are available. Thin heat-resistant gloves are particularly suitable for precision work where dexterity is required, while more robust models with a higher EN 407 performance level offer maximum protection against intense contact heat. Waterproof heat-resistant gloves are suitable for combined use with moisture or chemicals, and long heat-resistant gloves with extended cuffs provide additional protection for the forearm. Models with a silicone coating also ensure a secure grip on hot or slippery surfaces. In this way, protection can be precisely adapted to the respective requirements.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about Heat-Resistant Gloves
What materials are heat-resistant gloves made of?
What materials are heat-resistant gloves made of?
Heat-resistant gloves are often made of aramid fibers, leather, or special high-performance fabrics. These materials withstand high temperatures and, in combination with multi-layer insulation, provide effective protection against heat exposure and contact heat.
For which tasks are thin heat-resistant gloves suitable?
For which tasks are thin heat-resistant gloves suitable?
Thin heat-resistant gloves are particularly suitable for tasks that require dexterity and tactile sensitivity, such as precision work in metal processing. They provide heat protection without significantly restricting hand movement.
Do you have waterproof heat-resistant gloves in your range?
Do you have waterproof heat-resistant gloves in your range?
Yes, waterproof heat-resistant gloves are available in the Technigro shop, which provide protection against moisture and partially against chemicals in addition to heat protection. These versions are particularly suitable for work in changing environmental conditions.
What are the properties of heat-resistant welding gloves?
What are the properties of heat-resistant welding gloves?
Heat-resistant gloves for welding work feature heat-resistant seams, reinforced palms, and often an extended cuff to protect the forearms. Models with a silicone coating offer additional grip, even when dealing with increased contact heat.
Which standard applies to heat-protective gloves and what does contact heat mean?
Which standard applies to heat-protective gloves and what does contact heat mean?
The relevant standard is EN 407, which defines performance levels for contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, and molten metal splashes. For contact heat, the time it takes for a defined temperature (e.g., 100 °C, 250 °C, 350 °C, or 500 °C) to be felt through the glove is tested – this results in performance levels 1 to 4 depending on the outcome.
What should I look for when choosing heat-resistant gloves for work?
What should I look for when choosing heat-resistant gloves for work?
Three points are particularly important: the right size for a secure fit, the required EN 407 performance level for the respective temperature range, and useful additional features such as extended cuffs or non-slip coatings.
