Welding & Heat Resistant Gloves |
|
Working around high temperatures can put some heavy stress on your PPE. If your job requires handling small parts or operating machinery, that can make it even harder to find the proper glove. Luckily, Magid has been solving these problems for decades. Our representatives draw on a wealth of experience working with the steel industry, and many others, to help you achieve the right balance of protection, dexterity, and economy. Not only do we manufacture the most comprehensive line of heat and welding gloves on the market, we have partnerships with manufacturers of the most cutting-edge FR materials available.
Types of High Heat and Welding Hand Protection:
 |
- Hot mill gloves: Cut-and-sewn gloves featuring 100% cotton or blended material with up to three layers of fabric in the palm. Great for handling hot objects over brief periods, but hot mill gloves are not intended for use around open flames.
|
 |
- Heat or flame: Thick, heavy-duty gloves that provide the best protection possible against contact heat, radiant heat, spark, and flame, at the expense of some dexterity. Gloves are available to provide protection up to 2000° F.
|
 |
- Hand pads: Cut-and-sewn pads provide a flexible solution for applications that require extra heat protection for the hands. They are easy to use and are made of flexible heat-resistant materials, allowing for a good grip on hot items. Because they are reversible, hand pads have great durability and wear.
|
 |
- Welding gloves: Protect the hands from heat and sparks while allowing for a greater range of motion than typical high heat gloves. Available in lined constructions made of heat resistant materials to provide enhanced protection.

Popular Materials Used in Welding and High Heat Gloves
- Aluminized: Reflects radiant heat, protecting the wearer from nearby heat sources. Inner liners are available to add protection from flame and molten splash.
- CarbonX®: An inherently flame resistant material that does not burn, even when exposed to temperatures exceeding 2000° F for over 120 seconds.
- DuPont™ Kevlar® Aramid: Offers both heat and cut protection. Kevlar brand fiber is inherently flame-resistant, and unlike nylon, polyester and polyethylene, Kevlar will not melt.
- Leather: An economical material that is great for welding applications, and jobs in which workers are handling hot objects over short periods of time.
- Nomex®: An inherently flame resistant aramid material that features a high burning temperature, and does not melt.
- PBI: A high-tech fiber that provides thermal stability for a variety of high temperature applications. PBI will not burn in air, and does not melt or drip.
- Terrycloth: Heat-resistant terrycloth gloves feature cut-and-sewn fabric with insulating loops on the outside, offering more dexterity than woven or leather gloves when working with slightly lower temperatures.
- Wool: Nature’s best insulator, wool is often used in as a liner in heat gloves due to its heat resistance and comfort.
- Zetex® and Zetex® Plus: Made from texturized silica yarn, Zetex provides heat resistance up to 1100° F, and Zetex Plus up to 2000° F.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Welding Glove
Selecting the right high heat or welding glove can be a tricky balancing act. A glove that offers premium heat resistance may be too thick for handling small parts or operating machinery. Likewise, thinner gloves that offer a greater range of motion may leave the wearer susceptible over certain temperatures. It’s all about finding the right balance of protection, dexterity and economy. Here are some of the more important factors to consider:
| PROTECTION |
DEXTERITY |
ECONOMY |
- Type of heat: contact, radiant, or direct flame/ spark?
- Length of contact or exposure
- Heat and flame resistance of glove materials and liners
|
- Thickness of outer material and liner
- Flexibility of glove materials
- Size and nature of objects being handled
- Tools or machines operated in the process
|
- Usage rates: a more expensive glove can reduce costs if it extends service life
- Preventing injuries limits legal liabilities and workman’s comp expenses down the road
- Price: Magid beats anybody on cost, period.

Burn Statistics
According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), burns are the second most costly occupational injury per incident after motor vehicles.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicate that work-related burns are a leading cause of occupational injury in the United States.
The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries estimates 20 to 30 percent of all hospitalizations due to burn injuries result from the workplace According to the National Safety Council (NSC), burns cost an average of more than $21,350.00 per claim.
