CUT & HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES
1
Since its introduction to the market, the revolutionary Taeki5 ® has
expanded into a complete range of high performance safety gloves and
personal protective products including barrier fabrics, aprons, garments
and shoes. Taeki5 ® was developed in Europe with total protection in
mind. Integrating unique HPSH fibre, Taeki5 ® is the only yarn on the
market able to offer complete protective properties in a multitude of glove
and PPE designs. Where other fibres will fail in heat contact resistance or
abrasion resistance, Taeki5 ® will be there to give you the complete
properties and protection listed.
• High Abrasion Resistance – level 4
according to EN388 on all styles even
with light weight 13 gauge yarn.
• Washable – very low to zero
shrinkage, and very good washing
durability increase the life time and
value of the glove.
• High Cut Resistance – level 5
according to EN388.
• High Heat Contact Resistance –
100ºC up to 250ºC according to
EN407. This makes Taeki5 ® also
suitable for a wide range of
constructions as inner liner for leather
gloves or high heat resistance glove.
• High Comfort and Fitting –
stretchable and breathable material
to allow perfect fit, dexterity and
wearing comfort. Soft touch and low
density to reduce hand fatigue and
allow comfortable wearing during
long working hours.
