Aluminized Protective Clothing

Stanco’s Hi-Temp Gloves, Mitts and Protective Clothing have been designed for maximum protection in the most adverse work conditions. Steel mills, foundries and casting operations, to name a few, have job applications that require hand and body protection for temperatures exceeding 2000 F. Special aramid fabrics, heavy linings and full cut patterns in a variety of designs are available in this line. All styles sewn completely with heavy Kevlar Thread.

It is important to understand the types of heat in order to select the proper gloves and clothing for protection.

• Radiant:
  Generated by a heat source. An example would be a fireplace or the sun. The materials being struck absorb the heat’s rays (it’s hotter standing in the sun than in the shade).
• Ambient:
  The surrounding atmospheric temperature in a particular environment. Example: 72 F in your home; 92 F on the golf course in July; 1800 F in a flaming building.
• Conductive:
  Direct contact with hot surfaces. Example: touching a hot piece of metal at 800 F or leaning against a heat treating oven at 1,000 F.
