Hand protection
Heat and welding gloves
Heat and welding gloves protect against contact heat, sparks and molten metal spatter. EN 407 tests flammability, contact heat, heat transmission and molten metal droplets separately.

The glove changes with the welding process: TIG welding needs dexterity and favours thin leather, while MIG and stick welding use thicker, long-cuff models.
The forearm is often overlooked; spattering metal finds the gap between wrist and elbow. A sleeve closes it.
Heat gloves are selected by the type of heat: contact heat from touching a hot surface, radiant heat from standing near one, and convective heat from flame. A glove rated for one is not automatically rated for the others, and the difference shows immediately in practice.
In welding, glove choice follows the process. Stick and MIG welding call for a thick, heavily insulated glove; TIG welding calls for a thin, supple one because the wire must be felt. A single glove type across a workshop always compromises one of the two.

Frequently asked questions
When should a welding glove be replaced?
Immediately, whenever seams open or the leather hardens, cracks or is punctured. Heat hardens leather over time and protective performance can drop without visible damage.
Does a thicker glove always protect longer?
Against contact heat, generally yes, but it costs dexterity. For brief contact a medium glove worn correctly protects better in practice than a thick one that is removed to do the job.
Leather or aramid?
Leather resists spatter and abrasion and is standard for welding. Aramid fabric withstands higher sustained temperatures and is preferred in foundry and glass work.
