The A590 Heat Resistant Glove is a critical component of personal protective equipment for those working in environments where high-temperature contact is a daily reality. This glove is not merely a barrier; it is a carefully engineered textile solution designed to withstand contact heat of up to 250°C. By utilizing a sophisticated blend of viscose and cotton, this glove provides the thermal insulation required without sacrificing the dexterity needed for precise tasks.
In terms of performance, the A590 strikes a balance between thermal bulk and manual flexibility. The viscose fabric is known for its durability and heat-dissipating properties, while the integrated cotton liner absorbs moisture, preventing the hand from slipping inside the glove during intensive tasks. Despite its protective capabilities, the glove remains a lightweight fabric option, ensuring that the wearer does not suffer from hand fatigue. The seamless knit construction is particularly effective in high-movement roles, as it eliminates the weak points often found in stitched alternatives.
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, on this specific item for critical safety reasons. The A590 is a piece of certified PPE designed for high-heat environments. Introducing embroidery would involve puncturing the thermal barrier with needles, while heat-applied logos could melt or ignite when exposed to the 250°C temperatures the glove is designed to handle. To maintain the integrity of the heat resistance, this product must remain in its original, manufactured state.
This glove is indispensable for professionals in industrial kitchens, bakeries, and food manufacturing facilities where hot trays and equipment are frequently handled. It is also highly suitable for workers in plastic moulding, glass handling, and automotive assembly lines where components may remain hot after processing. If your role involves intermittent contact with heated surfaces, the A590 provides the necessary safety margin.
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been at the forefront of providing technical workwear and PPE to businesses across the United Kingdom. Operating from our base in Telford, we combine decades of industry expertise with a commitment to quality. We understand that in hazardous environments, the reliability of your equipment is non-negotiable, which is why we only supply products that meet stringent safety standards.
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit that allows for full finger movement. A glove that is too loose may reduce your grip on hot items, while one that is too tight can compress the insulating air gap between the fabric layers, reducing thermal protection. For those working in exceptionally high-intensity heat, these gloves can occasionally be used as a liner under heavier gauntlets, though their primary design is for standalone contact heat protection.
To maintain the thermal performance and longevity of your heat-resistant gloves, proper maintenance is essential. Regular cleaning ensures that flammable oils or greases do not build up on the surface of the viscose fabric.
We recommend a machine wash at a moderate temperature. You must avoid the use of industrial bleaching agents, as these chemicals can break down the viscose fibres, significantly reducing the glove’s heat resistance and structural strength.
After washing, the gloves should be reshaped and allowed to air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying on high heat settings, as excessive mechanical heat can cause the elasticated components to perish, leading to a loss of shape and fit. Ensuring the gloves are completely dry before use is vital, as moisture can conduct heat more rapidly toward the skin.
