PIONEER Leather Red Heat Resist – Gauntlet

The PIONEER Leather Red Heat Resist – Gauntlet is the industry-standard thermal protector for South African metalworkers, welders, and foundry operators. This model provides a balanced approach to high-heat safety, featuring the signature “Supa Red” leather treatment that is specifically formulated to resist the hardening and cracking often caused by extreme thermal cycling. With a focus on comprehensive hand and wrist protection, this gauntlet serves as a dependable barrier against sparks, slag, and radiant heat, making it a staple in South African fabrication shops where durability and heat attenuation are non-negotiable.

Technical Specifications:

• Primary Material: High-grade heat-stabilized “Supa Red” cow split leather for consistent thermal performance.
• Internal Lining: Full cotton-fleece lining to manage internal moisture and provide a buffer against conductive heat.
• Stitching: Reinforced with high-tensile, heat-resistant Aramid thread to ensure seam integrity under stress.
• Cuff Design: 200mm (8-inch) safety gauntlet providing an ample protective overlap with industrial workwear.
• Reinforcement: Welted seams in high-wear areas to shield thread from direct spark contact and abrasion.
• Thumb Design: Ergonomic wing-thumb architecture to facilitate a natural grip on heavy industrial tools.

Compliance & Standards:

• EN 407:2004: 413X4X (Certified resistance against flammability, contact heat, and small molten metal splashes).
• EN 388:2016: 4243X (High ratings for Abrasion, Tear, and Puncture resistance).
• SANS 1228: Fully compliant with South African National Standards for thermal protective apparel.
• CE Category II: Certified for protection against intermediate thermal and mechanical risks.

Ideal Application: Primary use case includes medium-to-heavy MIG/Arc welding, metal grinding, furnace operation, and general handling of heated components in South African engineering and manufacturing plants.
