Heat and cold protection

With us, you will find professional solutions for Hand protection at work In extreme temperature conditions. Heat and cold-resistant gloves are designed for environments where the risk of frostbite or thermal burns is real and constant – cold storage rooms, outdoor construction sites in winter, metallurgy, foundries, bakeries, and the food industry.

How do work gloves provide protection against extreme temperatures?

To be effective against cold or heat, work gloves rely on a precise combination of materials and design solutions. Each layer performs a specific function and contributes to the overall safety of the hand.

The role of the lining in creating a thermal insulation barrier

The lining is the key element that creates insulation between the hand and the external environment. It retains body heat or limits the transfer of high temperature to the skin.

Depending on the purpose, different types of linings are used in gloves:

• Acrylic lining – provides excellent protection against cold and retains heat even at low temperatures;

• Cotton lining – contributes to comfort and absorbs moisture during prolonged wear;

• Polyester and blended fibers – increase durability and shape stability.

This type of inner construction allows the glove to perform its protective function without excessively restricting finger movement.

The importance of the outer layer for grip and additional durability

The outer layer plays a direct role in the glove's resistance to contact with surfaces, tools, and materials. It is the first line of defense against mechanical and thermal impacts.

The most commonly used materials include:

• Natural cowhide leather – known for its strength and wear resistance;

• Aramid fibers and Kevlar – used in heat-resistant gloves due to their high temperature resistance;

• Latex and foam latex coatings – improve grip in dry and wet conditions.

Thanks to these materials, the gloves maintain grip security even in hazardous work environments.

Combination for comfort and safety when working in adverse conditions

True protection is achieved through a balanced combination of lining and outer layer. When the construction is properly designed, the glove not only protects against temperature but also reduces hand fatigue, provides good mobility, and allows precise work.

This is especially important during long work shifts, where comfort is directly linked to safety.

How to distinguish models with cold protection (EN 511) from those with heat protection (EN 407)?

To make the right choice, it is important to correctly interpret the certifications and pictograms on the gloves. European standards provide clear information about the purpose and level of protection.

Reading the EN 511 pictogram for cold protection

The EN 511 standard applies to gloves designed for protection against cold. It assesses resistance against:

• convective cold;

• contact cold;

• water penetration.

The EN 511 marking allows you to quickly understand whether a model is suitable for work in cold storage rooms, frozen product warehouses, or outdoor winter conditions. Once you are familiar with these indicators, you can choose gloves that meet specific temperature risks.

Reading the EN 407 pictogram for thermal risk protection

The EN 407 standard is intended for gloves that protect against heat and fire. It covers several types of thermal risks. Here they are:

This information helps you assess whether the gloves are suitable for activities such as welding, foundry work, or baking.

Selection according to specific risk: working in cold storage versus working with heated objects

Once you familiarize yourself with the standards, you should align your choice with the actual working environment. When working in cold rooms, the priority is retaining heat and protecting against moisture. When in contact with hot objects, the focus is on resistance to high temperatures and protection from burns. The right choice reduces the risk of accidents and increases work efficiency.

Key criteria for choosing thermal and cold protection gloves

Let’s look at the main factors you should consider. They determine whether the gloves will be a reliable partner in your daily work:

1. Thermal protection

The choice must precisely match the temperature risk – cold or heat. Certification according to EN 511 or EN 407 is a mandatory guideline.

2. Mechanical resistance

Almost all models in this category also offer protection according to EN 388, which means resistance to abrasion, cutting, and puncturing. This is important for combined risks.

3. Comfort and ergonomics

A long cuff, good flexibility, and proper fit reduce fatigue and improve control during work.

Considering these criteria helps you choose gloves that not only meet requirements but truly protect your health.
