Product Specifications
M-tide has specialized in heat-resistant glove manufacturing for over a decade. Our products are designed for heat resistance, thermal insulation, and flame retardancy.
Heat-resistant gloves use materials like aramid fiber, cowhide, pigskin, aluminum foil, fiberglass, and flame-retardant fleece. They utilize multi-layer thermal insulation composites and high-temperature resistant coating processes. Reinforced with lock-stitched edges, they form a flexible thermal barrier. These gloves withstand high-temperature radiation, heat conduction, and minor molten material splashes.

Core Features of Heat-Resistant Gloves
M-tide produces cut-resistant gloves using three main materials: high-performance polyethylene, fiberglass, and stainless steel composite yarn. This ensures reliable protection for high-risk activities.
Multi-Layer Composite Insulation Structure
Heat-resistant gloves employ a multi-layer composite insulation structure. composed of four core material layers, and each layer plays a critical role.
- Outer contact layer: Utilizes flame-retardant materials such as cowhide or high-temperature-resistant fiber fabric. Cowhide offers exceptional heat resistance and protection against sparks. Specialized fiber fabric is lighter and provides superior abrasion resistance.
- Intermediate Insulation Layer:Uses materials like Kevlar or pre-oxidized fiber felt. This layer provides high flame resistance and very low thermal conductivity. This layer effectively blocks heat transmission.
- Liner: This part uses flame-retardant fabric or aramid knit fabric to improve wear comfort and reduce skin friction.
- Special Coating:Can use aluminum foil reflective layers or high-temperature resistant silicone dots as needed.
Common heat-resistant glove solutions:
Below are three common custom heat-resistant glove configurations:
Welding heat-resistant gloves:
Cowhide outer layer + aramid insulation liner + cotton lining
Suitable for molten metal splashes and brief high-temperature exposure. Cowhide provides flame resistance, burn-through resistance, and abrasion durability. The composite insulation layer delays heat transfer. Suitable for heavy industrial applications like welding and gas cutting.
Oven/grill heat-resistant gloves:
Silicone coating + aramid or cotton base
Specifically designed for kitchen high temperatures. Features a food-grade silicone coating for non-stick and slip resistance. It also has aramid or cotton base insulation for protection and flexibility during use.
Industrial Heavy-Duty Insulating Gloves:
Aluminum foil outer layer + Multi-layer aramid felt + Cotton liner
This solution can handle short bursts of heat over 800°C. It works well in extreme radiant heat conditions. Suitable for metallurgy, foundry, and similar industries.

Frequentiy Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 10,000 pairs, and we provide complimentary samples. We are fully committed to collaborating with clients on design and producing the best gloves.
What is the heat resistance temperature of heat-resistant gloves?
Heat-resistant gloves exhibit varying levels of heat resistance depending on their materials and construction. Their heat resistance temperature can be determined according to three standards: ASTM F1060, EN407, and ANSI/ISEA 105.
| Level | ASTM F1060 (Contact Heat) | EN 407 (Contact Heat) | ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 (Conductive Heat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | <176°F (<80°C) | — (No rating) | — |
| Level 1 | 176°F (80°C) | 212°F (100°C) | <200°F (<93°C) |
| Level 2 | 284°F (140°C) | 482°F (250°C) | 200–500°F (93–260°C) |
| Level 3 | 392°F (200°C) | 662°F (350°C) | 500–1000°F (260–537°C) |
| Level 4 | 500°F (260°C) | 932°F (500°C) | ≤1500°F (≤815°C) |
| Level 5 | 608°F (320°C) | — (No Level 5) | >1500°F (>815°C) |
Is a higher heat resistance rating always better? (Heat Resistance vs. Flexibility)
Not necessarily. Choose gloves that offer the right temperature protection for your job. Heat resistance in gloves is often enhanced through material and structural modifications. Gloves with higher heat resistance often weigh more and are less flexible. This can be a problem for tasks that need long wear or precise movement.
When selecting gloves, consider these factors:
- Heat resistance rating
- Wearing duration
- Work frequency
- Weight
- Grip strength
- Durability
Can heat-resistant gloves protect against open flames/fire?
Some heat-resistant gloves offer flame protection. They primarily guard against five types of heat:
- Convection heat
- Radiant heat
- Flame and fire
- Contact heat
- Splashes and spills
Different heat types require gloves made from distinct materials and constructions. To select gloves resistant to open flames, look for the EN407 certification. Make sure the certification symbol has a flame icon. This shows it meets the flame resistance standard. Materials often use special aramid fabrics for insulation. This helps stop melting when exposed to direct flames.
Can heat-resistant gloves resist cuts?
Many heat-resistant gloves offer cut resistance. Workers frequently face high temperatures and cutting risks due to complex hazards. Heat-resistant cut-resistant gloves are typically made of leather combined with aramid yarn. Key areas like fingers and palms feature insulated layers for enhanced thermal protection. Check the glove’s certification to determine cut resistance capability.
What distinguishes kitchen heat-resistant gloves from industrial heat-resistant gloves?
The primary difference lies in their heat protection capabilities. In kitchens, protection mainly guards against steam heat and contact with high temperatures. Industrial settings additionally involve exposure to radiant heat.
Kitchen heat-resistant gloves are typically made from neoprene and silicone. Provide protection against temperatures up to 480°F (249°C).
Industrial heat-resistant gloves: Usually constructed from materials like aramid fiber and Kevlar. Offer protection against temperatures up to 780°F (415.6°C).
Oven Gloves/BBQ Gloves: Long or Short Length? How to Choose Cuff Length?
When using ovens or grills, your arms can easily touch the edges. This can cause burns. Proper length effectively protects arms from burns caused by ovens and similar tools.
Common glove cuff lengths include:
- 14.17 inches (36cm)
- 14 inches (35cm)
- 10 inches (25cm)
Key points for selecting the right length:
- Simulate the cooking process without using an oven or turning it on. Note the arm positions that may come into contact with the oven/grill edges.
- Use a tape measure to gauge the distance from your middle finger tip to the noted contact points.
- Choose a glove length slightly longer than this measured distance.
Note: Gloves that are too loose or excessively long can hinder movement. Conversely, gloves that are too short pose a burn risk. Thus, personal measurement is essential to select the appropriate length.
What material should heat-resistant gloves be made of?
Common materials for heat-resistant gloves include:
- Kevlar: An exceptional heat-resistant material. It is robust, heat-resistant, and abrasion-resistant, offering excellent flexibility and tear resistance. Effective temperature range: 480℉–800℉.
- Leather: A common heat-resistant material. But, its heat protection is limited. Effective protection is within 150℃. Prolonged exposure above 150℃ causes leather to crack and harden. Additionally, it offers limited sensitivity, making precise hand movements difficult.
- Aluminized Fabric: Effectively reflects radiant heat while offering some water resistance. Widely used in glass and foundry industries. But, breathability and comfort are limited. Provides radiant heat protection up to 2800°F (1538°C). Contact temperature protection ranges from 350°F to 780°F (177°C to 416°C).
- Key Considerations: Material selection depends on specific task requirements. Is flexible operation needed? Is prolonged exposure to high temperatures required? What is the temperature range of the work environment?
How to clean heat-resistant gloves?
To avoid damaging the heat-resistant coating and fibers, clean heat-resistant gloves properly:
- Hand wash with mild, neutral detergent or machine wash on low cycle.
- Avoid strong oxidizing or caustic cleaning agents.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight.
