\nIn our online shop www.norsafe.pt we have a range of kevlar gloves at fantastic prices!<\/p>\n
It is necessary to understand the cost\/benefit ratio of PPE to ensure safety in the workplace, in order to optimise investment and deliver results (internally and externally).<\/p>\n
What is Kevlar?
\nKevlar fibres have a unique chemical composition and properties that set them apart from other synthetic fibres.<\/p>\n
Kevlar is known for its high mechanical strength and lightness, and is a very heat-resistant polymer.<\/p>\n
Reasons to use equipment with Kevlar fibres:
\n1 - Mechanical resistance
\nIts resistance is up to 5 times greater than steel per unit weight and its use can be seen in a variety of materials. It is currently used in bulletproof vests and armour.
\n2 - Thermal resistance
\nKevlar usually burns after 8 seconds of exposure to temperatures above 1000 \u00b0C;
\n3 - Cut resistance
\nDue to the resistant characteristics of the fibre, the Kevlar glove is lightweight and has excellent cut resistance.
\n4 - Abrasion
\nKevlar gloves offer high abrasion resistance, thus increasing comfort, safety, productivity and the useful life of the equipment.
\n5 - Thermal comfort
\nVery similar to cotton, Kevlar PPE offers high thermal comfort.
\n6 - Ergonomic comfort
\nBecause less material is used to make the glove, it is lighter, thus reducing the strain on the upper limbs and preventing muscle fatigue.<\/p>\n
7 - Multiple risks
\nIn some working environments with numerous risks associated with cutting and temperature, Kevlar is the ideal solution.
\n8 - Productivity
\nBecause it is a lighter material, Kevlar gloves generate less muscle fatigue, so employee productivity and agility tend to be higher.
\nMain areas in which kevlar fibre gloves are used:
\nKevlar fibre gloves are recommended for situations in which workers are exposed to extreme temperatures and are liable to burns.<\/p>\n
Kevlar gloves are also used in:
\novens;
\ngreenhouses;
\nbakeries;
\nfoundry;
\nwelding;
\nplastic injection moulding;
\ncontact with thermal agents (exposure to heat from 48 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n
