Thus, the glove is stable even in case of 140\u00b0C when the exposure time is not too long e.g. splashes. In case of longer contact times, the material will just become softer.\u00a0However, heat will still transfer to the wearers hand in exposed applications. These gloves will not provide thermal protection in accordance to AS\/NZS 2161.4:1999 Rec:2016 Occupational protective gloves Part 4: Protection against thermal risks (heat and flame), or EN407:2020 Protective gloves against thermal hazards (heat and\/or fire).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;31329&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;366692&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;162853&#8243;]<strong>2.
