FAQs
What does the EN388 3.4.4.4 rating mean?
This rating indicates the glove's performance against mechanical risks. The numbers represent levels of resistance to abrasion (3), blade cut (4), tear (4), and puncture (4). Higher numbers indicate greater protection.
Are these gloves suitable for handling hot or cold materials?
These gloves are primarily designed for cut and abrasion protection. They do not offer significant thermal insulation and should not be used for handling extremely hot or cold objects.
Can I use these gloves for protection against chemicals?
The nitrile coating provides protection against oils, hydrocarbons, and grease. They are not rated for comprehensive chemical protection against a wide range of solvents or corrosive substances.
How long should these gloves last?
The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. Regular inspection for damage is crucial; replace them if compromised.
Are the SHOWA GP-KV2 gloves machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the glove materials. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the preferred method.
What is the weight and package dimension of the gloves?
The gloves weigh approximately 0.29 Pounds. The package dimensions are 2.0 L x 28.0 H x 14.0 W (centimetres).
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip after use
Clean the gloves with mild soap and cold water to remove contaminants that may be affecting the nitrile coating. Ensure they are air-dried thoroughly.
Tears or punctures in the liner
Inspect the gloves for damage before each use. If significant tears or punctures are found, especially in the Kevlar liner, the gloves should be replaced immediately as their cut protection is compromised.
Discomfort or irritation
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The seamless Kevlar liner is designed to minimize irritation, but an improper fit can still cause discomfort. Try a different size if discomfort persists.
