Dromex® THOR electrical insulating gloves provides protection against the hazards of an electric shock when in contact with energized electrical parts and equipment. These gloves are intended to be used exclusively for electrical purposes such as installation, maintenance, repairs and as a basic personal protective equipment for work under voltage of 1kV (Kilovolts), or as additional protective equipment for work voltage higher than 1kV (Kilovolts) (class dependant – refer to table on right for appropriate selection). These gloves feature the following:
• Anatomically shaped ensuring flexibility and prevents hand fatigue, especially during prolonged wear or intensive use.
• Consists of high-quality rubber latex that is flexible and has sweat absorbing inserts, which allows the wearer to work freely with optimum comfort.
• Fits well when worn with protective leather over gloves, providing mechanical protection needed against cuts, abrasions and puncture hazards.
