How to choose Protective Gloves
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Options | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Assembly, cut protection, cold, chemical protection, disposable | Assess the hazard first, then choose the material |
| Coating | Nitrile, nitrile foam, sandy nitrile, latex, PU, butyl | Thin PU coating for dexterity, rough nitrile coating for grip on oily parts |
| Mechanical protection | EN 388 marking, e.g. 4X43F, 4121X, 2131X | The final letter of the code indicates cut resistance |
| Chemical protection | EN ISO 374-1 Type A, butyl, nitrile, flock-lined | The code letters list the chemicals tested |
| Sizes | XXS to XXXL as well as 7 to 12 | Each model follows one of the two systems |
| ESD | ESD (antistatic) on selected models | Use only models with this marking in the EPA |
Frequently asked questions
- Which types of protective gloves does this category cover?
- Assembly gloves, cut-resistant gloves, winter gloves, chemical protection gloves and disposable nitrile gloves. At DS Safety Wear most of them belong to the Hi5 X series.
- How do I read the EN 388 code?
- The positions rate abrasion, cut (coup test), tear and puncture in that order. The final letter stands for cut resistance in the ISO test from A to F, and an X means not tested. A code such as 4X43F therefore indicates high cut resistance.
- Are there ESD gloves for the EPA?
- Yes, models marked ESD (antistatic), for example the Hi5 X ESD assembly glove with nitrile palm and carbon/elastane. No ESD property is specified for the other gloves.
- Which size do I need?
- Depending on the model, gloves are sized in letters from XXS to XXXL or in glove sizes from 7 to 12. Sizes 8 to 10 roughly correspond to M to XL.
- Which glove is suitable for chemicals?
- Chemical protection gloves made of butyl or nitrile, for example Butoject with a length of 350 mm and rolled cuff, or Hi5 X Chem to EN ISO 374-1 Type A. Check the code letters to see whether your substance is covered.
