The Importance of Welding Gauntlets and Gloves

Welding is a process that without the proper safety protection can pose huge risks from things such as electric shocks, fumes/gases and bright light. Steel has a melting point of around 2800 degrees so the heat required to fuse the two sections together must be even higher to create a consistence and uniformed join. This heat can cause serious injury to exposed skin, and the right protection is essential.

When welding the one of the most vulnerable parts of the body is the hands, these are often the closest to the process and will feel the full brunt of the heat. This is why finding the right welding gauntlets must be a top priority.

The welding gauntlets feature a Kevlar thermal lining for maximum protection enabling you to focus on the job in hand.
