Gloves matched to the workplace

ProfTek stocks 154 SKUs of Sir Safety industrial safety gloves across 8 sub-categories, every certification class from EN 388 mechanical protection through to EN 374 chemical resistance and EN 407 heat protection. Designed for Australian and New Zealand manufacturers, food processors, fabricators, and laboratories.Sub-Categories & StandardsLeather Safety Gloves, split leather, full-grain, reinforced palm; EN 388 abrasion + tearMechanical Protection, EN 388 nitrile/PU-coated, for assembly, automotive, general industry (94 SKUs)Cut Resistant, EN 388 Levels A–F, HPPE and Kevlar linersHeat Resistant, EN 407 contact and convective heat, for welding and foundryCold Resistant, EN 511 thermal, for cold storage and outdoor winterSpecial Protection, arc flash, vibration, antistatic, high-visibilityChemical Protective, EN 374 nitrile, neoprene, PVC against acids, solvents, oilsDisposable, nitrile, vinyl, biodegradable for food, lab, and medical useSpecifying the Right GloveGlove selection is rarely one-size-fits-all. A fabrication shop will need Level D or E cut protection on the part-handling side and a softer mechanical glove on the inspection side. A chemical-handling site needs EN 374 with breakthrough-time test data per substance. ProfTek can supply SDS-aligned glove matrices, sample packs, and bulk pricing for standard issue. Recurring monthly cycles (disposables, cut-resistant rotation) can be set up with auto-replenishment to remove the procurement overhead.

Chemical Protective Gloves

Sir Safety chemical protective gloves deliver certified barrier protection against acids, alkalis, solvents, fuels, oils, and pharmaceutical actives. EN 374 certified in nitrile, neoprene, PVC, and butyl rubber, supplied across Australia and New Zealand with breakthrough-time data per chemical.Technical SpecificationsStandard: EN 374-1, -2, -4, -5 (chemical and microbiological risk)Type A: Performance Level 2 against at least 6 test chemicals (highest)Type B: Level 2 against at least 3 test chemicalsType C: Level 1 against at least 1 test chemicalMaterials: Nitrile (Phulax, Butoject), neoprene (Torrchem), PVC (Camatex), butylForm factor: 33 cm to 45 cm gauntlets, flock-lined or unlinedMatching Glove to Chemical ProfileBreakthrough time data is the critical parameter. Nitrile handles most petroleum-based solvents and weak acids well but degrades quickly in ketones (acetone, MEK). Neoprene covers a wider range including aromatic hydrocarbons. PVC excels with strong acids. Butyl is the go-to for ketones, esters, and aldehydes. ProfTek can supply Sir Safety EN 374 datasheets per chemical so your safety officer can pair the right glove to the SDS for each handled substance.

HPPE, Kevlar, and steel-mesh constructions for metal stamping, sheet fabrication, glass handling, butchery, and recycling, supplied across Australia and New Zealand by ProfTek.Technical SpecificationsStandard: EN 388:2016 with ISO 13997 cut test (TDM)Cut levels: A, B, C, D, E, F (ascending), Level F is the highest non-armoured ratingLiner materials: HPPE (high-modulus polyethylene), Kevlar, stainless-steel mesh (butchery)Coatings: Nitrile, foam-nitrile, polyurethane, latexSpecialty: Butchers gloves (CM-8, CM-15, CM-20) for fish, meat, and poultry processingMatching Cut Level to HazardChoose Level A or B for general assembly with light edges. Level C and D cover sheet-metal fabrication, glass packaging, and most automotive trim work. Level E and F are reserved for primary metal handling, recycling sort-lines, and abattoir-grade butchery. Over-specifying carries no safety penalty but reduces dexterity, under-specifying creates real injury risk. ProfTek can review your hazard register against the Sir Safety cut-resistance matrix and recommend the right level per task.

Heat Resistant Gloves

Sir Safety heat resistant gloves protect against contact, convective, and radiant heat in welding bays, foundries, and high-temperature manufacturing. EN 407 certified with split-leather, aluminised, and silicone-coated constructions, Vulcano, Silitherm, and Silex ranges supplied across Australia and New Zealand.Technical SpecificationsStandard: EN 407:2020 (heat and flame)Test parameters: Flammability (a), contact heat (b), convective heat (c), radiant heat (d), small splashes molten metal (e), large quantities molten metal (f)Constructions: Split-leather welding gauntlet, aluminised cotton, silicone-coated Kevlar, foundry mittenCuff lengths: 15 cm to 40 cm gauntletApplication GuideStick (SMAW) and MIG welding use a 25–35 cm gauntlet leather glove with Kevlar stitching. TIG welding favours thinner goatskin for finger dexterity. Foundry work and molten-metal handling requires aluminised gloves rated to Level 4 on (e) and (f). High-radiant-heat environments (glass, ceramics, near-furnace work) need Silitherm or aluminised constructions. ProfTek can advise on the right rating for your process and supply trial pairs for operator feedback before bulk standing orders.

Mechanical Protection Gloves

Sir Safety mechanical protection gloves cover the broadest workhorse PPE category, 94 SKUs of EN 388 certified gloves for manufacturing, automotive assembly, warehousing, and general industry. Nitrile, polyurethane, latex, and graphene-coated palms across the full sizing range, stocked in Australia.Technical SpecificationsStandard: EN 388:2016 (abrasion, cut, tear, puncture)Coatings: Smooth nitrile, foam nitrile, polyurethane, graphene-foam, latex crinkleLiner: 13/15/18-gauge nylon, polyester, or HPPEForm factor: Palm-coated, three-quarter-coated, fully-coatedSizes: 6–12 (XXS–XXXL)Picking the Right Mechanical GloveThe right mechanical glove depends on the surface being handled and the duration. Dry parts handling and assembly typically use a polyurethane-coated 18-gauge glove for maximum dexterity. Oily, slippery components call for foam-nitrile or graphene-foam coatings, which retain grip on lubricated steel. Outdoor and damp environments favour fully-coated gloves. ProfTek can supply sample packs across coating types so your team can evaluate fit, grip, and feel before committing to bulk standing orders.

Special Protection Gloves

Sir Safety special protection gloves cover the specialist hazards that fall outside standard mechanical, cut, heat, cold, or chemical categories, electrical (arc flash), vibration damping, antistatic / ESD, and high-visibility tasks. ProfTek supplies the Electro, anti-vibration, and ESD ranges across Australia and New Zealand.Specialist CategoriesElectrical / Arc Flash: Electro Class 00, 0, 1, 2, 3 (proof voltage 500 V to 26,500 V) for live work and switchingAnti-Vibration: EN ISO 10819 vibration-damped gloves for chainsaw, jackhammer, and hand-tool operatorsAntistatic / ESD: EN 16350 charge-dissipating gloves for electronics assembly and cleanroom workChainsaw Protection: EN 381-7 cut-resistant for forestry and arboricultureSpecialist Selection NotesElectrical gloves require an over-glove leather protector for mechanical durability, never use them bare-handed. They also need formal dielectric retest every six months per AS/NZS 2225. Anti-vibration gloves reduce HAV (hand-arm vibration) exposure but should be paired with task rotation and tool selection for full compliance with WHS exposure limits. ProfTek can advise on the right rating and the testing/inspection cycle for your safety case.
