Protection Ratings
Please view the information below to see just how UCi RH2258 Gloves work to protect your hands:
EN 374-1
EN 374-1 is a European regulation governing the sale of chemical resistant garments. It uses a series of tests to award a glove a rating based on the penetration, degradation and permeation resistance of the garment.
RH2258 Gloves provide protection against three different chemicals, please see below for more details:
- Methanol
- Sodium Hydroxide (40%)
- Sulphuric Acid (96%)
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.
Please view the table below for a detailed breakdown of these ratings and resistances:
Standard | Resistance Ratings |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |

Suitable Applications and Environments
Please see below for a list of some suitable applications and environments for RH2258 Gauntlet Gloves:
How Comfortable Are RH2258 Gauntlet Gloves?
These gauntlets are made with a soft cotton interlock liner which is extra soft and kind on sensitive skin. This means they can be worn for hours on end without irritating your skin. The gauntlet sleeve is also flared, giving a greater degree of flexibility and freedom at the forearm and elbow area.
PVC Coating Benefits
PVC has a number of benefits when used as a glove coating. It is entirely waterproof and forms a thick, shiny layer on the glove that provides great protection against grease, oil and other sticky moistures. This makes PVC the perfect coating for protection against harmful liquids like chemicals and oil.
REACH Compliancy
REACH is a piece of UK legislation which deals with the protection of people when dealing with chemicals. REACH requires manufactures and employers to educate themselves on the dangers and hazards related to chemical handling. R430 Gloves have been manufactured and sold in accordance with this legislation.
Innovative Sanitation System
A common complaint regarding thicker and larger gloves is that sweat, smells and odour get trapped easily. This can easily lead to contamination and the growth of harmful germs and bacteria.
The "Sanitized" fabric hygiene system helps to reduce the growth and spread of microorganisms that are particularly problematic, such as clostridia and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is particularly beneficial to work gloves because of the build up sweat and the risk of cross contamination from hand to face throughout the day.
Phthalate-Free Material
Phthalate is a chemical used as an additive in plastic and PVC manufacture. It is used to make plastics more flexible and transparent. Unfortunately it can cause irritation and other dermatological issues. UCi Extra Soft Gloves are 100% phthalate free, giving peace of mind to those with skin conditions.
