PIONEER Tough 8″ Supa Red Heat Resist

Description

PIONEER Tough 8″ Supa Red Heat Resist

The PIONEER Tough 8″ Supa Red Heat Resist is a premium-grade heavy-duty thermal barrier designed for the most demanding high-heat environments in South African foundries, steel mills, and heavy welding operations. Featuring an extended 20cm (8-inch) safety cuff, this glove provides critical protection for the forearm against convective heat, sparks, and molten splatter. The “Supa Red” leather is specially treated to maintain suppleness under extreme thermal cycling, ensuring that South African metalworkers can maintain a secure grip on heavy casting tools and heated workpieces without the leather hardening or cracking prematurely.

Technical Specifications:

• Primary Material: Premium-grade A-Selection heat-resistant “Supa Red” cow split leather.
• Cuff Length: Extended 200mm (8-inch) gauntlet for comprehensive wrist and forearm defense.
• Internal Lining: Full wool-fleece or cotton-flannel lining for enhanced thermal insulation and perspiration absorption.
• Stitching: Reinforced with 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® thread for maximum seam integrity under high temperatures.
• Heat Resistance: Rated for contact heat up to 250°C and intermittent exposure to higher radiant temperatures.
• Thumb Design: Reinforced wing-thumb for improved flexibility and durability in high-wear areas.

Compliance & Standards:

• EN 407:2004: 423X4X (High rating for flammability, contact heat, and molten metal splash).
• EN 388:2016: 4244X (Maximum Abrasion, Tear, and Puncture resistance).
• SANS 1228: Fully compliant with South African safety standards for thermal protective clothing.
• CE Category III: Certified for protection against complex and irreversible thermal risks.

Ideal Application: Primary use case includes heavy-duty arc welding, foundry furnace operations, metal casting, and handling of heated steel components in South African industrial plants.
