Test results
This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal under the EN 407 standard. It does not offer rated protection for tasks where this is a risk, such as welding.
This product provides protection from contact heat up to 250°C for at least 15 seconds. It is ideal for tasks where you might briefly handle hot items, such as in kitchens or workshops.
