A high quality heat resistant heavyweight glove made from KEVLAR® . These gloves are based on a high performance fibre known as a p-aramid which has extraordinary toughness and heat resistance. This fibre is stronger on an equal weight basis than steel, as well as being many times stronger than conventional fibres such as polyester, cotton and nylon, enabling gloves of exceptional cut resistance to be made. In addition to this remarkable property the material is inherently flame and heat resistant and will withstand limited exposure to 500° C.
