Two Pyramex arc flash protection gloves
New GL3000 Series Arc Flash Protection gloves from Pyramex are built for comfort, fit and dexterity and are designed to provide premium protection for workers who face the possibility of an arc flash incident in their line of work.
Both of Pyramex’s new GL3000 arc flash protection gloves have undergone rigorous testing using the ASTM F2675 test method as per the NFPA 70E standard and provide premium protection against category 4 arc flash incidents. Additionally, both gloves have been deemed fire-resistant (FR) under section 8.8 of NFPA 2112. These enhanced safety certifications mean both gloves were intuitively designed to offer enhanced hand protection for workers in a wide variety of high-risk industries including electrical, transportation, masonry, construction, mining, oil, and gas and more.
Whether you are managing heavy machinery or working with electrically charged equipment, the new GL3009CKB goatskin leather driver glove will provide excellent protection against the dangers of an arc flash. The gunn cut-style glove features premium grain goatskin leather for a comfortable fit while providing excellent dexterity. The glove features a 360˚ A4 Para-Aramid cut liner for enhanced cut protection; offers level 2 impact protection and category 4 arc flash protection. In addition to carrying an NFPA 70E arc flash (category 4) rating, the glove also holds safety ratings: ANSI/ISEA 105 – CUT A4 with Abrasion 3 and Puncture 3; ANSI/ISEA 138- Impact 2 and EN388. They also incorporate a FR-treated TPR, tough Kevlar® stitching, a keystone thumb and a hi-vis design which enhances visibility in low light conditions.
The second glove in the series, the GL3010CK goatskin leather driver, also features premium grain goatskin leather, a 360˚ A5 Para- Aramid cut liner, and the category 4 arc flash protection.
