Industrial work gloves manufacturer Superior Glove has launched the world's first 18 gauge arc flash rated glove, which combines the high dexterity of an 18 gauge yarn with an arc flash level 2 rating.
The glove which was in development for a while, has been manufactured from DuPont Kevlar and will help increase worker safety and protection.

According to the company, in 2013, there were 13,000 arc flash-related incidents, of which 400 turned fatal.

“These incidents are preventable with the proper personal protective equipment and Superior Glove aims to increase worker safety and protection with the introduction of this 18-gauge arc flash glove,” it said.

Specialising in cut resistant gloves, Superior offers 3,500 styles of work gloves to the safety glove market. (AR)
