Five-finger safety glove for fire departments made of special leather
Used by the fire departments for works with high mechanical use and simultaneous affect of heat and wetness. It is distinguished with good dexterity compared with its robustness (EN 388)
Outstandingly well fastness to abrasion and cutting (> 8000 cycles). Water seeping through the leather at first after 90 min
Minimum water assimilation 7 % within 60 min
No hardening of the leather when getting in contact to water
Very high heat resistance, for instance contact time with 250 °C = 11,5 sec, with radiation heat > 180 sec burning behaviour = 0
During the "Flash-over”-test there was just a blackness and a slight hardening but no shrinkage
