Protection Ratings
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used whilst working in and around mechanical machinery by measuring abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
| Hazard | Resistance Rating |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 1 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 0 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |

EN 374
EN 374 is the European safety regulation that determines the chemical resistance of garments and gloves. The ratings seen below are determined by exposing the fabric to various amounts of each chemical to assess the level damage it does to the fibres.
| Chemical | Resistance Level |
| Methanol | Level 3 |
| Acetone | Level 3 |
| Acetonitrile | Level 1 |
| Ethyl Acetate | Level 3 |
| n-Heptane | Level 2 |
| Caustic Soda 40% | Level 6 |
| Sulphuric Acid 96% | Level 4 |
| Chrystallisabel Acetic Acid | Level 6 |
| Acetic Acid 25% | Level 6 |
| Aniline | Level 6 |
| Dimethylformamide | Level 6 |
| Ethanol | Level 6 |
| Formaldehyde 37% | Level 6 |
| Furfural | Level 6 |
| Hydrochloric Acid 10% | Level 6 |
| Nitromethane | Level 6 |
| Octyl Alcohol | Level 6 |
| Phenol | Level 6 |
| Sodium Hydroxide 20% | Level 6 |
What Are the Benefits of a Neoprene Coating?
Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubbers that are inherently resistant to a number of chemicals and solvents. Used in the manufacturing of chemically resistant gloves, neoprene is also very durable, providing hardwearing resistance to scuffs, scratches, abrasions, cuts and puncturing when used in heavy-duty environments.
Extended Wrist Cuff
An extended cuff has a number of practicable benefits. Firstly, it naturally covers more surface area than a shorter cuff, preventing chemical and solvent splashes from making contact with the wrist and lower forearm area. Secondly, because of this coverage, the glove fabric can gain additional traction on your skin, preventing "ride up" and movement.
