Please note: Knitted gloves are not appropriate for applications
where hot liquids are being used. The type of heat protection
these gloves are designed is contact. The glove material was exposed
to temperatures of 250, 350 and 500 degrees F. The temperature
of the inside of the glove was measured. For glove styles that
are coated in the palm area, the temperature testing was performed
only in the coated areas of gloves. |

Although this glove tested to a rating of 2 on temperature at 250º
and 1 at 350º, this glove is not liquid-proof and would only
be suitable if the hot objects being handled are dry. Seams would
allow penetration of liquids. |

| Explanation
of Temperature Ratings |
| The
temperature ratings were determined by measuring the amount of time
in seconds for the temperature inside the glove material to rise
10º F from the starting temperature. The temperature on the
outside of the glove was 250º, 350º and 500º F. For
every 15 seconds of time it took for the temperature to rise, the
glove scores one thermometer pictogram. 0 thermometers with red
"don't use" icon: The gloves offer little or no insulation
against the temperature. •
= > 15 seconds to rise 10º degrees inside the glove at
that outside temperature.
•• = > 30 seconds to rise 10º degrees inside
the glove at that outside temperature.
••• = > 45 seconds to rise 10º degrees
inside the glove at that outside temperature.
•••• = > 60 seconds to rise 10º
degrees inside the glove at that outside temperature.
••••• = > 75 seconds to rise
10º degrees inside the glove at that outside temperature.
